Tim Hauser founded the Grammy-winning group in the early ’70’s.

[They had] hits such as “Operator” and “The Boy from New York City.” They went on to win multiple pop and jazz Grammy Awards. Their critically acclaimed album, 1985’s “Vocalese,” earned a whopping 12 Grammy nominations.

Alan Paul, Janis Siegel and Cheryl Bentyne — who joined in 1978 and replaced Laurel Masse — rounded out the foursome.

“Tim was the visionary behind The Manhattan Transfer,” they said in a statement. “It’s incomprehensible to think of this world without him.”

    Even though I am a long haired metal head I like the style that Tim Hauser brought to Manhattan Transfer. He had a good life if the success of the band is any indicator.
