I love the Manhattan Transfer , and I’m Anita Baker’s biggest fan , so I love both versions. I actually remember this original version when it was released. Janis Segal is the lead singer here, she had many solo jazz albums.
I love “The Boy From New York City” by The Manhattan Transfer as well, but this is very nice! Both versions by them and Anita Baker are Fire! 🔥 The jazz element is so nice! We cannot underestimate the greatness and talent of Rod Temperton! 👍🏽😎 ✅English Songwriter! Producer! Musician! Keyboardist! Member of the group Heatwave! He wrote “Always and Forever”, “”Boogie Nights”, “The Groove Line”, and “Star of The Story” for them. ✅Quincey Jones, who was a record producer recruited him. He wrote singles for Michael Jackson- “Thriller”, “Off The “Wall”, and “Rock with You”. ✅He wrote “Give Me The Night”, “Love X Love” for George Benson. ✅If you love “Baby Come to Me” by James Ingram and Patti Austin that is a Rod Temperton song! Those are just a few songs that he wrote! RIP! 👍🏽 GREAT request! 👍🏽😎👍🏽 Satori you get a thumbs up 👍🏽! Loved your reaction sir! 😎

I remember being like 7 or 8 listening to this song on my mother's record player, over and over! I was also fascinated by the art work on the album cover!
Big Manhattan Transfer fan here. You cannot beat their harmonies. This was the first artist I remember with this song. So it is always a favorite with Janis Siegel but Anita Baker put her touch on it too. It's just a great song no matter who sings it.
Great reaction, SMG. ✌🏽 You did Anita Baker’s 1986 cover of “Mystery” in Jan of 2023 and here you are now reacting to the _original_ version from 1983. 👏🏾
This is the original recording of this song written by Rod Temperton. I loved it then, along with Spice of Life. It was their little foray into r&b. You reacted to the most popular and best known version by Anita Baker a year ago. Just a great song.
whoever requested this one really know their music !!! good one .....Classic !!!

Janis Regal absolutely nailed this and set the standard for others to follow.
I love their music, Good reaction.

4 jazz singers with a kit two white guys two white women which soul and so much more you just tipped the surface of these guys
Anita Baker did this song. This was one from Manhattan Transfer that I never heard. It was awesome.❤
Yup, The Manhattan Transfer recorded it originally in 1983; Anita covered it in 1986. ✌🏽
The original ❤

“Spice of Life” is a bop but was it just me or did it sound a lot like another Rod Temperton song “Baby Be Mine”??
@gabrielmcdonnell8699 It appears to be an offshoot since it came out within a year later.
An excellent choice. Love this song, but since you love Anita Baker, you have to hear her vero❤
He reacted to it a year ago.
I know this is the original but I prefer Anita’s version.
Nice but for me…Anita Bakers’s version is “THE ONE”😎👍🏾
Agreed
@ 😁
Can we say listen to Anita baker’s remake of this song
Satori reacted to Anita’s cover of “Mystery” on 1/21/23. ✌🏽
I be like the version by Anita Baker better.
