    I saw The Manhattan Transfer LIVE not long after this song came out & let me tell you... not a foot or shoulder or head in the theatre was still. They were/are absolutely magical on stage. What I wouldn't give to experience that evening again! Truely consummate 'artists', in every sense of the word. SO talented & their music will forever be unmatched. 😊 I'm 73 now & when I hear this song & close my eyes I'm right there again. ❤

    I was on my way to an appointment with my father, and my spirits were low, but the second this song came on the radio and I heard the uniqueness in the singer’s voice and the incredibly catchy melody, my eyes grew wide and I resisted the urge to dance! It’s a shame they don’t make music like this anymore. But I consider myself fortunate that I was able to find this song!

    Have spent way plenty of time in Binghamton NY where Rod Serling was born, raised and gleaned fodder for his program. They are now erecting an 8 foot statue of him as their favorite son. Take it from me, Binghamton very definitely, unquestionably has a mystical quality like nowhere else !

    As pop as the Transfer got, a very interesting experiment blending the sounds of the original TV theme with an original composition by Alan Paul and Jay Graydon, who contributes an incredible overdubbed guitar solo as well. Janis is great on lead vocals here.

    Fab disco pop freak amalgam, with jazz and scat mixed w bebop. Quite a talented crew. Funky groovy guitar instros. Takes us back to nostalgia of Rod Serling on tv. Nice trip. Some trance. Danceable & memorable. Thanks, Manhattan T. & Atlantic records. Super mix effort. Vive les retro & disco freaks ....

    ...when Disco 'died' (July 1979), a lot of People don't know The Manhattan Transfer helped 'Disco' put away it's typical sound for GOOD, and became 'Post-Disco', with this tune.... It peaked at #4 Disco / Dance, February, 1980, and updated the 'Transfer', in the process....

    I'd love to know the story behind Alan Paul's lyrics. He's talking about Glen Miller's deadly plane crash.
    Submitted for your approval
    One Mr. Miller, who's about to take a trip
    Into oddness and obsolescence
    Through a zone whose boundaries are that of imagination
    Accompanying him on this journey is the mesmerizing
    Sound of the twilight tone
    On a cold and rainy night
    One Mister Miller had a rare flight
    Glen was up there boppin' a rhythm
    Then the engine stopped to listen with him play that beat, oh, oh
    Suddenly he heard this sound
    This melody that keeps spinning 'round and 'round
    Now, he resides and plays trombone
    In the mystic unknown zone
