alava- who is the Manhattans guy on the right? I thought most of them had died.

His voice gives him away .. Barry White

Evening Lovelies. Spotify picked this, and the video is very 1980s.

Well I thought it sounded like him at the start and looked like him but he wasn't an official member ever was he? I was a fan of Big Bad Barry White at the time (still am) and I liked the Manhattans record but never associated the two at the time

I remember he did a version but didn't think he was on the Manhattans one. Memory does play tricks though

Alava, it's not The Walrus of Love on the Manhattans track, it's Blue Lovett, the band's bassist and the song's writer. Loads of Seventies RnB groups had that deep baritone singer, it's just that no-one did it better than Bazza.

Lovett said: "Pop stations didn't like the rap the way I was talking, like Barry White, Isaac Hayes or Lou Rawls. They didn't like that talking in the beginning. They felt it would sell better, if it was without the rap. I was fine with that. Whatever would sell records that was fine." (Source of quotes Soul Express)//
