One of the world's greatest group, I am 75 years old and still burn candles when The Manhattans come on after being married cooking dinner silk pajamas for my wife of 35 years WOW 👍👍🥰 MANHATTANS, AFTER ALL THESE YEARS YOU ARE ONE OF THE BEST 🍷🥰🍸❤️
The Mighty Manhattans featuring the great Gerald Alston on lead vocals and their awesome bass singer, "Blue" Lovett. Even though they had some smash hits, i.e. "Shining Star", I still feel that they were a bit under rated. A great group!
I remember sitting in the dark at the Apollo and all of a sudden the white gloves appeared and The Manhattans sang “Can I”. They are truly a miracle in my life making me both smile and cry tears of joy that I was able to see them perform at the Apollo when I was in High School.
Gm edagdwg god bless the world for sharing this special time when people learned to respect each other no matter who or were they come form soooooo blessed to have enjoyed it this special time in history of what happens when god bless you with a real life Linda peace
I remember the manhattans Gerald Alston and I are the same age he still sound like he did back in the day with. his handsome self lol he can really sing this group to me is better than the temptations to me
Thank God 🙏, I saw the Manhattans early. So many of the originals have passed on. Saw them in 2013 also Probably seen them about 3-4 times... now that's love
They are the VERY best ever! Even as they get older they don't lose their smoothness, style or grace. I would give anything to be able to see them in person!

@@melvinbullock3962 When Gerald was 17 years old he told Sam was his favorite singer whom he wanted to sing like in a Gospel group like the Soul Stirrers. Followed by his other favorite leads "Smitty" (original lead singer of The Manhattans) and Little Anthony (of The Imperials).

In my opinion Gerald is one of the best lead singers of all time!

I Just found out that the guy Dave Tyson of the Manhattans is the brother of
Ron Tyson that sings with the Temptations
Is this guy mr Alston just getting younger or what""" Definitely my favorite group and solo artist "" yet so so underrated Exceptional singer ""

That's not true they were one of the best that song but you had the mighty dramatics, dells the temps had bad Davi d Ruffin so Austin was one of the best but not the best iam. Sorry what do the fans think not like you
David Ruffin was a baritone. Gerald Alston is a tenor. Comparing their voices is like comparing apples to oranges.
