If Manhattan Transfer had recorded only one song, this is the one song I would have wished that they had recorded. This live version is fantastic. They seem to be enjoying singing this song as much as I enjoy listening to it. I can't believe it's been as many years as its been since this song was first released. But in spite of the years it is still as vibrant and fresh to me as it was on day one. Just love everything about this song.
This group was one of a kind, and Tim Hauser was the undisputed driving force behind this group, notwithstanding the tremendous talent of the other members, past and present. The voices, the stage presence, the ability to draw in the audience - they had it all. Thank God for memories, recorded music and videos like this.
Of the many songs I loved of MT growing up in my youth into adulthood, THIS tune was always my favorite and the one that I could ALWAYS depend on to lift my spirits when I needed a great song to do that!!! I’ve also ALWAYS loved to watch them sing live (and ty, by the way for uploading this video. Much appreciated!) because they always looked as if they were having fun doing what they loved, singing. Although I think Janis is a beautiful cutie....I, and like thousands of other fans, was always a sucker for Cheryl’s beauty and emotions during their performances. She DEF’ is one of my inspirations in the way I perform while singing. I used to be shy and ashamed to show my expressive self while on stage. But, watching her not giving a rip what anyone thinks (in my eyes, anyway 😁) as she gives every ounce of her soul into her song... it really pushed me early on to not hold back when I felt my spirit moved during a song. And I owe her HUGE mahalo for that gift of inspiration. Again... thank you much for uploading a sweet performance of the awesome harmonies of the MT!!!🤙🏾🤙🏾❤️🎼🎵🎶 Aloha!
Tight magnificent Harmonies every time, great Stage Presence..just heard this on IHeart, had to see it performed..Thanks to the person who Posted it..🙂🎼🎶
I saw the Manhattan Transfer here in Rome. They will remain forever in my heart with this song. Thanks TonyReset for posting this very high-quality video.
This is probably my favorite tune of theirs, which is saying a lot, 'cause I love so much of what they did throughout their career. Incredibly inspiring music... Thank you, Manhattan Transfer!!
God, I love this. I finally got to see the group a few months before Tim passed away. This tune was the highest mark in a phenomenal set. Brings tears to my eyes today.
I remember seeing them at Irvine Meadows on this tour. They were wearing all white and this could be from that show as far as I can remember. Thanks for bringing back an amazing memory!
RIP Tim; MHT will go on . Janis & Cheryls vocals in this drive me wild with musical passion. Alan P. may have to develop his baritone in the meantime before Tim can be replaced. Still the most awesome jazz quartet in history. Last time I saw them live was as the Rainbow Music Hall in Denver CO 1981 (> the Twilight zone album). Burned into my heart forever!
There was a popular Brazilian performer that did a cover of Soul Food To Go in Portuguese . I don't remember the name of the singer , but he made me go back and search for Manhattan Transfer's version . Their song and the MTV video that accompanied it will always remain in my mind - good vibrations !
This is one of my favorites. We had tickets to see them in the 90s at Purdue’s Elliot Hall but it was cancelled. I was really looking forward to the concert.
Well, Actually this band made a cover of "Sina" from the Brazilian singer Djavan, who released the original song in 1982 whilst this band recorded the cover in 1987. Good vibrations 4all
Yeah, I noticed that too. Besides that they often interrupt their vocal lines at the end of every phrase which isn´t good for the groove either. Anyway - still one of my fav groups with one of their great tracks.
Mai stanca di ascoltarla... FANTASTICA 😍😍
Even for a live performance, the harmony is truly UNBELIEVABLE 😎😎😎😎😎
My god, their vocals are flawless! I especially love the harmony when the ladies sing their second "Art nouveau." It just soars.
This is a brazilian song,sina.One of the best song ever composed
Another great song to come out from that magical 80s decade.
If Manhattan Transfer had recorded only one song, this is the one song I would have wished that they had recorded. This live version is fantastic.

My first time hearing it just now (IHeart)..had to SEE it so checked You Tube..🙂

+Ian Jackson Same here... The vocals are incredible.. Have you seen the 'official video'? It's pretty cool.
Boy From New York City gets me going too..🙂
A little piece of Heaven on earth...
Tim Hauser OWNED this song this night.. 🙏
One of my favorite songs of all time and they do it just as good live, if not better, than the recording. I love them!
Classy band. Just beautiful... smiling and having a great time up on stage.
This my favorite MT song ever from one of their best albums ever. R.I.P. dear Tim.
Love this song. Magic. Just great.

You Need a shot of Life........hear this piece of MT and nove your body at their rhithm!!!!! It 's fantastic
R.I.P. Tim. First saw you live, London 1971. Blew me away. :)
RIP Tim; MHT will go on . Janis & Cheryls vocals in this drive me wild with musical passion. Alan P. may have to develop his baritone in the meantime before Tim can be replaced.

Sublime!
RIP transmite vida. Una de las mejores canciones de la hsitoria. Viva el rey!
There was a popular Brazilian performer that did a cover of Soul Food To Go in
Portuguese . I don't remember the name of the singer , but he made me go back
and search for Manhattan Transfer's version . Their song and the MTV video that
accompanied it will always remain in my mind - good vibrations !
It´s the other way around, Djavan is the brazilian who wrote the original music called Sina, you got it wrong
Djavan is the singer that I was thinking of - thank-you .
It was a collaboration between Djavan and Fieger .
I agree. Best version!
I love Manhattan Transfer and adore Djavan who wrote and first recorded this most wonderful song!
Really awesome! They just get better with time....
This is one of my favorites. We had tickets to see them in the 90s at Purdue’s Elliot Hall but it was cancelled. I was really looking forward to the concert.
I don’t remember how I discovered MT but I love their songs!
I love it Tony...brings back memories!!
Orgasmic! Such goooood music.
Bellissima canzone da non credere mi fa piangere
"Brasil" is, in my opinion the best MT album of all!
To me it´s Vocalese ... anyway, they´re great.
Gorgeous !
El mejor grupo vocal. Siempre.
Cool and hot just for you! Love it!
pfff, pero que canción mas bonita love it !!
Janis, Cheryl, Alan talented and beautiful. Tim talented but the master!
Always loved this song growing up
+andre caldwell same here. Loved the (official) video.
yaassss
Sono d'accordo, e' una versione potentissima, eccellente per essere una performance live!
Grazie!
Amazing!!!
Che meraviglia!
Grandiosi
fantastic group sad no longer 4
They are the best. Since song is part of an album with Brazilian influences...Capim.
Me and my daughter can sing all the lines, for 25 years already.
Great song, and the original ("Sina" by Djavan) too!
Original singer brazillian is Djavan. The song is Sina.
Márcio Rogério Of course it is! The one thing I miss in this live version of SFTG is Djavan's humming/chanting in the background!
Great!!
Well, Actually this band made a cover of "Sina" from the Brazilian singer Djavan, who released the original song in 1982 whilst this band recorded the cover in 1987.
Good vibrations 4all
Djavan worked with them on the album.
Grandi
Sarà il corso dei tempi, ma vedere solo 50mila visualizzazioni per un gruppo di questa portata mi rattrista.
RIP Tim Hauser!
Still much missed Tim. RIP
wow!
:-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) This sexy suggestive song. its TOO much
bravissimi
LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE))
it´s just one tick too fast but stil driving me to tears - being a drum pro für 40 years.
Yeah, I noticed that too. Besides that they often interrupt their vocal lines at the end of every phrase which isn´t good for the groove either. Anyway - still one of my fav groups with one of their great tracks.
Excellence, to the nth power
This be-bop's too much!
Wowwwwww
grande versione....di una canzone di Djavan (Sina)...
Auch in 2019 noch up to date
GRANDISSIMI
RIP Tim.
Taste This Food :)
trop fort
Damn I'm old lmao
RIP
Forse preferisco l'originale (Sina di Djavan) ma anche questa è bella.

AMAZING
