Grammy Winner 1980 - Best Jazz Fusion Performance, Vocal
![]() ![]() |
|
1979 recording and the first with singer Cheryl Bentyne, who replaced Laurel Masse. Contains 'Twilight Tone/Twilight Zone,' the group's first U.S. hit-basically a disco number that borrows from the television theme song of the same name. 'Birdland,' the Weather Report orginal that, with the addition of lyrics by Jon Hendricks, became a staple of Manhattan Transfer's repetoire and one of their most popular songs-and their first Grammy winner. 'Body and Soul' is the Phil Mattson arrangement, and 'Foreign Affair' was arranged by Gene Puerling (sung a cappella) and conducted by Clare Fischer! (Can't beat the talent! ) 'Nothing You Can Do About It' has a catchy refrain and piano motive that won't let go. |
