This has to be, without a doubt, one of the finest examples of A cappella in existence today.

This piece separates the heavy hitters from the rest of us, the merely mortal. If these four had to work at it, just about everybody else would likely exercise the better part of valor before trotting it out onstage. Much easier to listen to than to perform! RIP, Mr. Hauser. You are missed. To the surviving Transfer members, you are cherished more than you can know. Peace and Long Life to you all.

In the 80s, I saw MT perform at Radio City, and they did this as an encore. Everyone who was leaving stopped in the aisles and turned around to listen, their faces glowing with appreciation.

This is a difficult arrangement sung by an exceptional professional quartet. How they pulled it off is a testament to their skill. But the arrangement was overly tough - asking the quartet to overcome unusual chords. For comparison sake, listen to a really good amateur barbershop quartet sing the same song, but with a difficult, but more pleasing to the ear, arrangement. You’ll find it on KZitem under the quartet’s name, ‘Midnight Croon.’

@@scotservs I was a professional Christian singer for 8 years with a Gospel Group called Heritage Singers. So yes, I can tell little flaws that maybe you might not catch. We use do do acapella songs, and would have vocal trax underneath our live singing... So I know it's really hard to do acapella. They are so amazing!

I don't think those were flaws as much as artistic decisions and differing tastes. Or as the French would call, it's the esprit of the day that caused them to deviate from the original arrangement 😉 I have a master's degree in opera. In case someone comes along and ask about my qualification.
