Founded by Tim Hauser - who passed away on October 16th - in 1964 with Gene Pistilli, Marty Nelson, Erin Dickins and Pat Rosalia, the Manhattan Transfer recorded one album, but because of differences in musical tastes this grouping disolved in just a few years. Tim reformed the group in 1972, this time with Laurel Masse, Janis Siegel and Alan Paul. Cheryl Bentyne joined The Manhattan Transfer in 1979, replacing Laurel. With worldwide sales in the millions, Grammy Awards by the dozen, and veterans of sold-out world tours, The Manhattan Transfer has continued to record and tour and will continue to do so.
