Manhattan Transfer

Following the Top of the Pops theme, Manhattan Transfer, had a number of very successful singles and albums. They found a niche with their              a cappela, jazz, swing, blues and pop musical styles (easy listening?). This was particularly true through the 1980s, when they won grammy awards for many of their songs/ compositions.

One particular group that I like is Fairground Attraction and their single, Perfect, from the album The First of a million kisses, 1988. They were not active for very many years, but had a lot of success internationally...not forgetting the single, Find my love, of course. 


Danny Wilson were another band who together had some success as a band, but individually had a significant degree of success, reflecting their diverse abilities, as musicians and song writers.

Julio Inglesias jnr: Greatest Hits.

Julio Inglesias jnr, has only one concert in the UK  this year, at the Royal Albert Hall. As I said last week, I would like to get a greatest hits album (most likely from HMV). I've found the album I would like, ie. his Ultimate Top 40 Collection CD,  £8.68, but on Amazon. Compared to other similar albums, priced at as much as £30.00, it's a bargain!
