(Level III) Originally performed by the Manhattan Transfer on The Offbeat of Avenues, this is a bluesy, romping solo feature for one or several of your killer tenor soloists. Ensemble vocalists get to have fun in a mostly background vocal role throughout. This will sound especially strong with synthesized B-3 organ part and/or electric guitar. A great way to close a program! SSATB w/ rhythm section
