The Manhattans Kiss And Say Goodbye : The Best Of The Manhattans (1994)
1995 Columbia/Legacy\nReleased October 31, 1995\n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: The Best of the Manhattans: Kiss and Say Goodbye is a terrific, 19-song overview of the Manhattans' recordings for Columbia in the '70s. All but two of the group's Top Ten R&B hits for the label are featured -- there's no "We Never Danced to a Love Song" or "Crazy," but "There's No Me Without You," "Don't Take Your Love," "Hurt," "Kiss and Say Goodbye," "I Kinda Miss You," "It Feels So Good to Be Loved So Bad," "Am I Losing You" and "Shining Star" are all present -- and several fine lesser-known singles and album tracks are added for good measure. Although the collection might be a bit too extensive for casual fans, it's the definitive overview of the Manhattans' time as a smooth soul group, illustrating how they helped develop the quiet storm subgenre. -- Stephen Thomas Erlewine\n\nAmazon.com Customer Review\nThe Smooth R&B and Classic Soul 70's!, September 2, 1998 \nReviewer: fwebb@nassau.cv.net from USA \n"Blue", Gerald, Eddie and the guys were what you wanted to see, anywhere they performed. They came all the from New York to perform in the Southeast Underground (Washington, D.C.) in 1975 and I've been a true fan ever since. This album has a real sleeper on it, "The Day The Robin Sang To Me". Today, there are two (2) Manhattan's. Eddie Bivins has a group, but there is only one Gerald Alston. \n\nHalf.com Album Notes\nThe Manhattans: Winfred "Blue" Lovett, Gerald "Smut" Alston, Abdul Rashid Talhah [Richard Taylor], Kenneth "Wally" Kelly, Edward "Sonny" Bivins, (vocals).\n\nAdditional personnel includes: Bobby Martin, Bert DeCoteaux, Teddy Randazzo (arrangers); James Mack (arranger, piano, Fender Rhodes electric piano); Norman Harris, Bobby Eli, Roland Chambers, Byron Gregory, Ira Siegel, Keith Henderson, Danny Leake (guitar); Chris Cioe (saxophone); Ron Kersey, Theodis Rodgers (piano); Larry Pakula (organ); Lloyd Landesman (keyboards, synthesizer, programming); Terry Fryer (keyboards); Ed Tossing (synthesizer); Steve Goldman (synthesizer, percussion); Vince Montana (vibraphone); Ronnie Baker, Paul Richmond, Russell Keating (bass); Earl Young, Morris Jennings, Jr. (drums); Larry Washington (conga); Bobby Christian (percussion); Morrie Brown (programming); Don Renaldo.\n\nProducers: Bobby Martin, The Manhattans (tracks 1-7, 9-12, 19); Bert DeCoteaux, The Manhattans (track 8); Leo Graham (tracks 13-16); Leo Graham, Morrie Brown, Joe McEwen (track 17); Morrie Brown (track 18).\n\nCompilation producer: Leo Sacks.\n\nEngineers: Kenny Present (tracks 1-2, 7); Don Meehan (track 8); Bob Hughs (tracks 11-12, 19); Stuart Walder (tracks 14-16); Stuart Walder, Mike Ferraro, Steve Goldman, Steve Addabbo (track 17); Steve Goldman (track 18).\n\nRecorded at Sigma Sound Studios, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Total Experience Sound Studios, Hollywood, California; Universal Studios, Chicago, Illinois; Celestial Sounds and Columbia Recording Studios, New York.
