This eclectic collection of songs encompasses jazz, bebop, swing, doo wop, rock & roll, and gospel; all are trimmed in an attractive pop texture. These 16 compositions are taken from the vocal quartet's albums, which span 12 years (1975-1987). Each selection is inviting, as all four song stylists display their individual vocal skills and admirable harmonies. Laurel Masse appears on recordings up until 1979, when Cheryl Bentyne replaced her. Other members include Tim Hauser, Janis Siegel, and Alan Paul. ~Craig Lytlehttps://www.allmusic.com/album/the-very-best-of-the-manhattan-transfer-mw0000107854

  1. Dafeds here. Thanks for rgua re-posting. Cheryl's Sondheim recital is superb. "I Wish I Could Forget You" is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. And her quasi-dirge-like "Move On" is so appropriate a rendition for this agonizingly immobile moment.
