A very respectful reference to the original swing feel of it but with a cleaner Sharper, kick-up in it's measure of coolness! Smooth, sharp and precisely executed! It just 🌬 sails wide open!
Absolutely, THE finest version of this 50's jazz classic ! -------I've done Route 66 from Denver to LA, so many times I've lost count. I-25 to Albaquerque, then US 40, Route 66, all the way to San Bernardino.
Whoever put this together needs to be heartily thanked. Watching it was cheaper than the Time Machine I was going to purchase online. Smooth Jazz Rules!
A marvelous version of a classic tune by the great, under appreciated, Bobby Troup. I am so thrilled that I am still able to watch and, more importantly, hear, this fabulous music. Nothing produced today comes close.
The First Time!!! Yep...this was the first time for me hearing Manhattan Transfer, in Sharky's Machine...it has so much memory for me. This is by far the very best of any and all versions of Route 66.
I first heard this version by The Manhattan Transfer back when it came out in 1981,I was 22.I'm now pushing 63,and still love this song.This version goes through me like the blood in my vains,gives me the chills!.John M Guinto
Best version of Route 66, ever, just ahead of NKC! Thanks Burt Reynolds for having the good sense to include this in Sharkey's Machine. I would never have watched it otherwise!
Another exquisite representation of the fantastic, professional representation of popular music in the modern swing idiom that only the iconic Manhattan Transfer can provide! Makes me wish my '57 Chevy could actually make the trip!!

En el año 1981, Alan Paul, Janis Siegel, Cheryl Bentyne y Tim Hauser, "The Manhattan Transfer" grabaron "Route 66" la obra de Bobby Troup. Este conjunto tomó su nombre de un libro del escritor John Dos Passos publicado en 1925 que justamente se llamaba así.Desde el año 1969, que comenzaron a cantar hubo cambios de los integrantes del conjunto, pero mantuvieron una línea de calidad en sus interpretaciones.
Me equivoco o era un grupo vocal nada mas,o sea se acompañaban de un grupo de New York.Soy muy amante de la música del ayer,por eso pregunto, y hay un éxito que fue primeros lugares,se me olvida el nombre..Gracias Amigo Juan, aprendo muchas cosas de buena cultura general y eso para mi no tiene precio,ya que se supone que el médico siempre tiene que tener gran cultura pues trata con cada persona diferente.
Rafael saint-james Estas en lo correcto Rafael, pero siempre tuvieron un buen apoyo orquestal, Johnny Mandel , por ejemplo un director y arreglador que trabajó para Frank Sinatra. El tema que tu dices es "Muchacho de New York" y es de el año 1982. Habitualmente se combinaban para grabar y en vivo con bandas conocidas. Por otra parte te diré que me gustó mucho tu comentario, gracias y saludos.
Rafael saint-james Yo te he nombrado el tema más vendido del conjunto, luego fue "Birdland" y "Empalme Tuxedo", no acierto que otro tema sería el que refieres, gracias y saludos Rafael.
@@ApartmentKing66 No it wasn't. It was the fretless Alembic you see in the video. Fretless can sound like an upright. This video is from my other TH-cam channel.
Sadly only portions of the original Rte 66 survive today, buffeted with 4 & 5 lane highways, mom & pop diners have given way to mega fast food franchises, stores & hotels are now littered with nameless, faceless chain convenience stores & big name hotels. The original feel has been swallowed up by corporate American business. Very sad to see individuality erased by greed.
I have to agree. I grew up during the 60's and 70's when Mic became popular and he may appeal to a large audience but the quality of voice and music that comes from the Manhattan Transfer is like trying to compare an agate to a diamond; Mic being the agate and the Manhattan Transfer the diamond.
I love everything about Route 66 and also drove on parts of it 4-5 times now. My favorite was a road trip between Texas and Las Vegas, Nevada (there's a video on my channel here: th-cam.com/video/5IMmr3w_8Ys/w-d-xo.html). If you have sometime, check it out... I'd love to know what you think! :) Cheers!
Hello, Avis? I want to book a trip on Route 66. Yes, I will pay an extra $100 a day extra for that Cadillac Escalade for that wonderful experience called -ROUTE 66!!

Amen, What a great talent, not only as an artist, but as an organizer. Wonderful group that stayed together for so many years with many, many GREAT songs.

This version by Manhattan Transfer is truly the best I've heard. If you don't tap your foot to this version you are either deaf, or dead.
William M. Bash The deaf can feel the music. How insensitive.
Brother Billy, you are right on, my man! The whole Sharky's Machine soundtrack is brilliant!
This version never fails to get my pulse racing,get my blood pumping,I love it!!.John M Guinto

Great memories of when I saw them in concert back in the day. Still sounds fresh. RIP Tim.
I remember when this version came out,I was 22 in 1981,I love it!.John Guinto

Thank you for all the good times.
My high school jazz ensemble took this and Nelson Riddle's version of the TV show theme and mashed them together. Smooth jazz masterpiece

The best!
The BEST rendition of this goldie!
This is my favourite version.

This is just fabulous
These people are supreme like no other...bar none....love 'em !
entered Billboard May 29, 1982 ..reached #78
We live along Route 66, in New Mexico.
This is a great song from the past.
Love the bass guitar, this arrangement, best I have heard Route 66.
Except the bass in the actual was a stand-up, not a bass guitar.

A swingin' 66--my favorite version!
Bom demais. Muito estilo e e grandeza na interpretação. maneco - Porto Alegre-RS - Brasil.
OMG That synthesizer-like harmony is BEAUTIFUL!
Cierto , y de los 80s
Jep, this was the best time! RIP Tim!
Many of the towns mentioned are on the former Santa Fe Railway main line.
MARAVILLOSOS, COMO NO FUE MI EPOCA PARA VERLOS.
Oh God,this song gives Me the chills!.John M Guinto
I have just one word for this song,smooth!.John M Guinto

Una sintonia vocale combinata con tanta musicalità e bravura
I have always wanted to travel this road and
I think that will always be a dream
I LOVE TO GET MY KICKS LISTENING TO THIS TYPE OF ELEVATOR MUSIC....SO COOL MAN:)

ES UNA GRAN CANCIÓN, ME ENCANTA, CUANDO MENCIONAN LA CIUDAD DE MÉXICO.
MUCHAS FELICITACIONES (THE MANHATTAN TRANSFER).
WELL DONE !
Couple of errors -- Route 66 goes nowhere near San Francisco. So it doesn't cross the Golden Gate or the Bay Bridge.
Super!!!
Thanks a Lot less enough, TbirdsOf1965.:)..i Remember the "(i) Love Lucy Shot"?!:D
tremer 2009 nh
Long live Manhattan Transfer. 👍
Wonderful Song
1:26-Hurray for the Little Nash Rambler! 2:40-The Golden Gate on 66?
encore une bonne version de la célèbre 66
A tribute to this awesome group. A NIGHTINGALE SANG IN BERKELEY SQUARE
One day, may be in another life you'll be able to feel music. Sorry for you now!
Get your kicks on route 66. Whoo hoo!
Same recording as the Sharky's Machine recording. Best rendition to my ear.....
It IS the Sharky's Machine recording. This is on the soundtrack.
Dat bass. :I
It's a simple bass line but, it works
thank god for that
Härligt sväng, "prickar" in allt helt rätt.
great!
Better yet, I think I'll take Route 66. (I may have to cut across a few fields.)
Don't get a ticket!
If you ever plan to motor west,
Travel my way, take the highway that's best.
Get your kicks on Route sixty-six.
It winds from Chicago to LA,
More than two thousand miles all the way.
Get your kicks on Route sixty-six.
Now you go through Saint Louis
Joplin, Missouri,
And Oklahoma City is mighty pretty.
You'll see Amarillo,
Gallup, New Mexico,
Flagstaff, Arizona.
Don't forget Winona,

Route 66 Chicago to Santa Monica
legal!!
CHRYSLER IMPERIAL 1960...
Well... I can't imagine Mike Jagger singing! (Actually, he never really did)
У меня есть любимец мэтр и молния маквин а кукуол ааа
Esta bien esta version,pero me gusta mas la version que hizo Depeche Mode cantado por Martin Gore.
Es mas moderna...
When we were bitchen
1:31 heed this warning regarding cali. lol
sure, it was fine in 1981, but I wouldn't waste my time in that quagmire.

NEEDS MORE DIVERSITY
Why, there's a nice level of diversity in the artists recording this tune. Promoting diversity and equality is one of the best aspects of america. Only bigots assume ability is traded for diversity.
i hate how they snap their fingers when they sing, imagine mick jagger doing that you;d think something was wrong with him
you must be not very hard to please
