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.

78 RPMs 10: Frank Sinatra & Harry James On a Little Street In Singapore
~
78 RPM record
On October 13, 1939, I can’t believe that was 82 years ago, Harry James and his band, with Frank Sinatra singing, recorded On a Little Street in Singapore. This recording is a reissue as the original issue gave James top billing over Sinatra.
The
trumpet of James is beautiful, of course, as it soars through the song
and Sinatra is suave and sexy as he always was back then.
I have loved On a Little Street in Singapore with its gentle and slow but bouncy beat and romantic lyrics all my life (link below).
On A Little Street In Singapore
On a little street in Singapore
With me - beside a lotus covered door
A veil of moonlight on her lovely face
How pale the hands that held me in embrace
My sails tonight are filled with perfume of Shalimar
With temple bells that guide me to her shore
And then I hold you in my arms
And love the way I loved before
On a little street in Singapore
On a little street in Singapore
With me - beside a lotus covered door
A veil of moonlight on her lovely face
How pale the hands that held me in embrace
On a little street in Singapore
With me - beside a lotus covered door
A veil of moonlight on her lovely face
How pale the hands that held me in embrace
My sails tonight are filled with perfume of Shalimar
With temple bells that guide me to her shore
And then I hold you in my arms
And love the way I loved before
On a little street in Singapore
On a little street in Singapore
With me - beside a lotus covered door
A veil of moonlight on her lovely face
How pale the hands that held me in embrace
It is a jazz song written by Peter DeRose and Billy Hill.
Though it's obscure now, the song was popular in the 1930s and
1940s. Other artists who
covered the tune included crooner Kenny Baker, Glenn Miller with tenor Ray Eberle and Jimmy Dorsey with Bob Eberle (Ray's brother).
Baker's
version is slower than the Sinatra/James rendition and it is oriental
sounding with minor key modulations not in the original version and when
Miller and Eberle covered the song, their tempo was faster and a bit
livelier.
In the fifties it was The Three Suns, slow, smooth and dreamy with xylophone, accordion, slide guitar and electric organ, also with an oriental flavor. Then there was Dave Brubeck with Paul Desmond on sax (jazzy, of course) with no vocal, as was Harold Land with sax and Kenny Dorham on trumpet with their version.
In the seventies Bert Kaempfert pizzscatoed his way through it, the Manhattan Transfer and even Bob Dylan covered it! (link below) Dylan! Can you believe it?
The Manhattan Transfer (Tim Hauser, Laurel Massé, Alan Paul and Janis Siegel)
1978 cover is faster than the Sinatra/James rendition and it is my
favorite version of the song; it is up to date, well, in 1978 it was (link below). The harmonizing by the group is flawless and Alan Paul has the type of tenor voice and killer looks that teenage girls swooned over in the forties.

Harry James was an American musician who is best known as a trumpet-playing band leader who led a big band
from 1939 to 1946. He broke up his band for a short period in 1947 but
shortly after he reorganized and was active again with his band from
then until his death in 1983. He was especially known among musicians
for his technical proficiency as well as his tone,
and was an influence on new trumpet players from the late 1930s into the
1940s. He was also an actor in a number of films that usually featured
his band.
date & photographer unknown
Harry James was a heavy smoker, drinker and gambler. In 1983 he was diagnosed with lymphatic cancer, but continued to work. He played his last professional job, with the Harry James Orchestra, on June 26, 1983 in Los Angeles, dying just nine days later in Las Vegas, Nevada on July 5, 1983; he was 67 years old. Frank Sinatra gave the eulogy at his funeral, held in Las Vegas.
