THE MANHATTANS Vinyl Records and CDs

Yes, this is the group that took "Shining Star" to the top of the charts in 1980. But long before that, the Manhattans had proved themselves to be a stellar vocal Soul group. From the moment they scored their first hit in 1965, they always seemed to have bucketloads of R&B and crossover pop hits that reflected the changing times -- from sophisticated Soul to Disco and beyond. These days, the Manhattans still tour the world and show how it's done.
