I just saw a post on here for something Manhattan and it made me think of this group. My best friend's sister used to love this group in the 80s. Did anyone else like them too?

Their best song was from the 70s. I absolutely love the song "Twilight Zone"...It's some sort of combination of disco and lounge-jazz, but damned if it isn't danceable.

Sincerely,

My dad used to really like them in the 80's so I always considered them daggy but apparently they do some really great jazz/swing stuff - is this true? I may have to apologise!

Hey Valley the Swing out Sister is a really good comparison for them. I had never thought of that before. What has ever become of them anyway?

Devolution here,

I never really got into them, my parents were more on that scene.
