Today is the birthday of multiple grammy-winning, American jazz singer, Janis Siegel of The Manhattan Transfer. The group was originally formed earlier but when Tim Hauser met Siegel at a party and after recording some demos, she agreed to join the group, and on October 1, 1972, the Manhattan Transfer was reformed.

The Manhattan Transfer has covered songs from the 1930s through the 1980s in a variety of genres including jazz fusion, R&B, pop, and doo wop. The group has received 10 Grammy Awards during Siegel's ongoing tenure, and was inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2003.

I have almost every album the group has produced and this one is my favorite because it was their first one I bought and I love all the songs on it but my favorites are A Gal In Calico written by Arthur Schwartz with words written by Leo Robin in 1946, Love For Sale written by Cole Porter in 1930 and, of course, my very favorite song on it, On A Little Street In Singapore, written by Peter DeRose and Billy Hill in 1939. Alan Paul sings the lead in the very best tradition of the swoony crooner.
