Hello fellows and congratulations on your ongoing success! Your show at the Hippadrome (Oct. 9,2004) was off the hook. No one missed a beat or tune (impressive). And if I must say so, the best was yet to come when Gerald did "A Change Is Gonna Come". Brotherman, you sing that song as if it was your own. I've seen you guys numerous times but still, each time is better than the first. Many thanks and may God continue to bless you all! Let's keep the oldies soul classic music going, now that's music to your ears as well as your heart. Rosy from DC

Hello Guys! Let me try this again. You guys were totally awesome at the Hippadrome, Baltimore on Oct. 9, 2004. Especially when you Gerald sang "A Change Is Gonna Come". I've seen you guys on numerous occasions and each time you seem to outdo yourselves. Gerald sings that song as if it were his. The three groups together "Blue Magic", "Stylistics" and the "Manhattans", was a performance worth going down in History. Keep up the good work(s)! Rosy from DC

I love you guys. The song Can I came out when I was young and my brother and sister used to play it all the time. My family played every album you made all the time, then I saw you for the first time in New York right after the blackout and you turned the place out. I wish you the best in life and may God continue to bless each and everyone of you.KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND KEEP MAKING HITS!!!!!

I am still in awe at the performance you all did at the Alabama Theatre for Miles College homecoming on last night (10-15-04). I have been a big fan since my high school years. You all are a blessing. I want Mr. Alston to know that I love his voice (it is just soothing to the ears). Continue on your destiny and doing exactly what you are doing now. Your biggest fan, felicia

As a young boy my father introduced the Mahattans to me and I have been a fan ever since. You guys are simply the best singing group I've ever heard. Good luck in the future and I would hope to see in the future the Manhattans receiving a life time acheivement award on BET or the Grammys becuase you guys definetely deserve it.

I just had to share some love with one of my all time favorite groups. The show performed yesterday in Lynchburg, Va. was out of sight. Everyone is still buzzing about the show. I would like to personally say that I appreciate the love you gave us girls up front. You were real and I want you to know you made alot of ladies from Lynchburg happy. Hey, I got to touch hands with two members. And you can believe tommorrow at work I will be bragging. I would like to share a little personal thought on my life. You see my finacee who was 43 years old died about 6 weeks ago of a heart during the night. It was bad enough to lose him, but to actually see someone you love leave for good. Well he was the nieghborhood DJ, and he could recite facts and titles about songs like no one esle. He really loved you guys so much. We both admired everything you had achieved. Cecil and I were to be married in two weeks, but God plans come first. I had not felt like going out. And some people were kinda worried. So I went to the show(with Cecil in spirit) and I felt so close to him. I thank your music for letting me have that gift. If you only knew my love for this man, and how your music connected to my soul for this man. Turn out the light, turn out the stars, I won't need no moonlight. A special blessing to each of you, and your families who so graciously share you with us.

I just saw you guys at the Miles College tour Oct. 15. 04. When I say you were really great that is an under statement. I enjoyed every inch of your performance. You were dressed to perfection and cordinated to a tee. I resect your class act. The young performers really should learn from the pros. Thank you for a wonderful evening of sheer excitement and entertainment. I'm still on a natural high!!!!

I have been trying to reach an official fan club for years I am glad finally have found one.I wanted to thank you for the song Shining Star.Me and my husband met while this song was playing 24 years ago and we listen to it often it still brings tears to our eyes and we get all choked up, when ever we hear it on the radio if we are not together we call the other one.This song has been in our hearts for a long time and it will always be "OUR" song. If it wasn't for Shining Star we may never have met.He is the love of my life. THANK YOU.. Beth

Hope you will visit us again in the city of seven hills. Your voices are awesome, I have loved you all for so long I can't even remember. Keep it up, you really do bring smiles to a lot of faces.

I grew up listening to the MANHATTANS on radio station CKLW out of Detroit and Windsor. The big 8 formed my music appreciation; I also was able to develop good rythum singing with all the bands of this era. I think that Motown will live forever. This white kid from Howell, Michigan got a lot of soul from listening, THANK YOU for some great music.

Greetings! I must say, "HATS OFF" to the mighty, mighty Manhattans. Still doing what you used to do, when you used to do it back in the day: S-I-N-G-I-N-G!! I recently saw your act at the Dover Downs Rollins Center in Dover, Delaware, and you guys were no less than awesome. Gerald, the good Lord has truly blessed you; keep using what you got.

Saturday, 11.13.04, The Manhattans captivated an audience at the Academy Of Music in Philadelphia. Truly a stunning performance by Blue, Gerald, David Tyson & Troy, they were the highlight of the evening's billing. Gerald and Blue and the group were given a standing ovation and were clearly in top vocal form, with the crowd responding to every classic hit by roaring their admiration and approval. It's obvious that last night is one of the reasons they're called the ("Mighty") Manhattans!

Detroit 2003 the manhattans were performing at the Detroit Opera House. When i came in they were on the stage i kept asking who was that trying to sing the manhattans songs? Thats not the manhattans singing. Then in 2004 in Detroit at the Freedom Hill featuring- Gerald Alston,Blue Lovett, I knew i was in for a great show. I was right at the stage. (I was in awe ). Thank you so much love you Gerald you guys don't change a thing.

My name is Bennie (Hatchet) Brazier and I am a longtime friend of the original 5 Manhattans (Blue, Bo-Dip, Rick, Smitty and Kenny). I also had the pleasure of meeting Smut at an affair in Brooklyn, New York. Even though there has not been much contact throughout the years, I have continued to follow your careers. You guys have really been wonderful and produced some of the greatest hits ever. Your group is one of the few that still show us what true music is all about. I wish all of you continued success. If you can, in your spare time, just drop me an e-mail at bennzier@aol.com. Good Luck!

This site is well welcomed. It is most enjoyable, just as your music. I love all the songs especially Kiss and Say Goodbye plus That's Not Part of The Show. The last time I saw you perform, I was visiting Virginia from Florida, and caught the show in the DC area. Exceptional as I remembered.
