Manhattan Transfer, The - Love For Sale Lyrics

just great singing, great voices, great harmonies, fabulous talents. Very unique. Cannot find that today..!!

Absolutely wonderful song by Manhatten Transfer fantastic harmony!

Fabulous - this is the best version of this song - no one does this better.

Manhattan Transfer singing Cole Porter. Wonderful!

I love this!

Beautiful four voice harmonies

I used to do mobile disco's in the 70's & 80's catering mainly to middle age & upwards. Manhattan Transfer was one of my mainstays I played regularly because they covered such a diverse range of genres - even disco . . . The number of people who came up to the desk & asked who this brilliant sound was from is incalculable. Pastiche I think was one of their better albums . . . .

Love the crackles too

Must love MT!

ES LA MEJOR VERSION QUE ESCUCHE EN MI VIDA DE AMOR EN VENTA

Manhattan Transfer (Tim, Janis, Alan, Cheryl & Laurel) are were without peer.

I love this quartet. The tune is just fabulous.

Saw them perform twice, first in Reno, second time in Sacramento. Sacramento is where I heard them on the radio for the first time. Hard to believe I had this recording on cassette tape.

what a great version!

I agree. Wonderful harmonies, great pace, and I love the rhythm set by the strings at the start.

one of my favourites of all time x

great version of a classic

Mia Corazon - Thanks. This is probably the best version of this Cole Porter divine classic.

Philippa Pay.. Anita O'day's take on her Cole Prter comp isnt too shabby, just give a listen

Pure class

Te lo dedique Don Cesar hace 5 años ¡¡ I no se te olvido . !!úúúúúúuúúhhhhhhhh

a real Hollywood cowboy vibe to this

Best version ever of the tune... Who are the musiciens ?

+rubruk " The Man-Tran Band", lead by the very young but brilliant Yaron Gershovsky.      Wolfsky9

I love the 30s style long melodic intro before the vocals. Spot on!

Off pastiche lovely song bit country

How did I miss this one?  Lovely....
Thank you.

this is definitly the greatest band , oldy stills goldy !!

fantabulous tune...and the old photos are a purrfect touch...))

Such a shame the last comment was 2 years ago. Could this be the greatest forgotten band ever? Keep commenting, fans, and keep their precious memory alive!

Am going to their anniversary performance next month here in NYC at The Blue Note.

f****G fantastic the best version period!

Love Cole Porter's music! This version is my personal favorite version of this song.

Everything they did was wonderful, I defy anyone to find a 'bad' Song

it came from the 1978 album Pastiche

Pure class! Wonderful old song and Manhatten Transfer are unsurpassed in this genre of music. Thanks for posting, loved it!

You did a beautiful job with the photo collage. Beautiful! And wonderful song. MT was so great! When they cover old songs they do a superb job

@PrettyStuzz So plsed you also enjoy MT's version Of "Love for sale"x

In the past(iche) year, Love For Sale has become my favorite MT number. You're absolutely right about the divine vocals, though I think you understate their brilliance somewhat :). I love how MT seem to transform the song from (originally) New York to a place like (legal) Nevada. Incidentally, the song charted when it was performed by Fred Waring and His Pennsylvanians (1931) - and Waring's lead baritone was Laurel Massé's uncle (or grandfather, I forget which).
