27 years later; today Janis can still bring it...
Some people kid me for liking this group (we live on a ranch where country music rules), but they are awesome! Always have been a favorite of mine and always will be.
Love this song but these old videos REALLY make me thankful that shoulder pads went the way of the dinosaur!!!
RIP Tim Hauser. I loved your music. You will be missed.
I had to sing this in primary school for an assembley lol.
On this day in 1981 {August 22nd} the Manhattan Transfer performed "The Boy From New York City" on the late Dick Clark's American Bandstand
Three months earlier on May 23rd it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; eventually it peaked at #7 and spent 21 weeks on the Top 100
It reached #8 on the Canadian RPM Top Singles chart
Was originally recorded by the Ad-Libs in 1965; their version peaked at #8 on the Hot Top 100 chart
In the UK in 1978 the Darts' version peaked at #2...
RIP Mr. Clark
Janis is awesome.
when my daughter was a toddler, we would sing this together. She loved it!!

I sang the baritone part for a my jazz choir concert last night. God, I am so happy I got to see this group live last week in Jazz Alley. They still got it!
This video is truly cool, truly fun to view.

I have to sing this sing for a concert in choir
You are so right about the lead; she is Janis Siegel and she rocks. Pipes is right. Janis has extensively recorded and is in great demand. Check out the other videos available for her.
A wonderful song and a great perfomance.
Absolutely magnificent group! I never wanted to like this group, but their tremendous talent MADE me love 'em. Vocals just don't get any better!
Manhatten Transfer were awsome in Vancouver BC last year!
remember this one......
Haha. My show choir is learning this. This will be so fun to sing! Haha. And my Show Choir teacher said we need a cute guy to walk across stage. After this, we do Firework. :p
The Manhattan Transfer really can sing, and this was demonstrated in the song "The Boy From New York City" this song is a classic.

Love them.I see they do Chanson D'amour.That's cool-I have a video of Art & Dotty Todd on Dick Clarks Sat Night Beechnut Show.Love the fact that they do Lonely Way-my fav Skyliners tune.
i love this song!
The Manhattan Transfer are one of the many things that make proud to be a "Native New Yorker" Ted Cruz could not possibly understand this!
In case you're wondering, this is at a concert in JAPAN. Manhattan Transfer... "Big in Japan"
He says: "Tatte Kudasai" which means... "Please Stand"
Also, conservative crowd free from hollerers (that would show disrespect) is a dead giveaway.
Great vocal fireworks!
Que barbaridad son muy chingones estos chicos la verdad los aprecio desde que les conoci comoen el 1979 u 80 son de lo maximo si.
Need to learn the solo parts for this song...!!!!!!!! I need to try out and actually get a part for school
My Friend Has to Dance to This in Her Jazz Dance Class.Ive got to say the song isnt half bad!

bravoooo
Good music!
one song me and bf can always rock out together
WHOOO MERCY DADDY
I have seen them many times! Where are the actual videos???? I used to be a big fan, like most people wanna hear the ole stuff and see the ole stuff!
It’s the Boogie Woogie Man Jimmy Valiant’s song! “Paul Jones, you will be a Bald-Headed Geek!”
I just saw them tonite at the Columbia Festival of the Arts and they are as great as ever. But, they did not do The Boy from New York City or Operator.
Wow, who knew you could get mens shoes that color before the invention of crocs.
a guevo guebais que es buena pinche rola lo mejor de aquellos
cool cool kitty... ;)
Oh, they have incredible voices, no question. But they`ve had better days. Although when I was in 8th grade, about when this song came out, I was fuzzy on who exactlty "Boo boo kitty"??? was.
Gosto!
im learning this song in chior
❤❤❤❤❤
I have the second verse solo for this!!!
In which Janis Siegel tears the roof off the auditorium. Would ove to know where she gets her energy... Have viewed many of the MT videos on UA-cam, and am concluding that this Japanese concert may have captured them at the peak of their powers. Exceptions being Offbeat of Aveneus and the powerful 'So You Say' from their Brasil album, wherein Cheryl Bentyne gets to show her dramatic range and power.
They knock me on my ass. This is what real music sounds like, people.
que haríamos sin ellos
i like both versions (haven't heard the Darts'), but especially love The Ad Libs'. Honestly, they aren't that different, but that being said, I don't understand the critical hoopla over the Manhattan Transfer. It's really like they got a lot of credit for rediscovering a great song ignored in its day.
Fun performance here though.
this is fucking LIVE guys!!!! =D
I'm doing this is choir :) I'm a Soprano.
I just like if for being the theme song of wrestler "The Boogy Woogy Man" Jimmy Valiant.
