The Manhattans, Kiss and Say Goodbye (Nov 4, 2023 - Sam's Town Live, Las Vegas NV)

The Manhattans sang their biggest hit, "Kiss and Say Goodbye" at Sam's Town Live in Las Vegas, NV on November 4, 2023. Released in 1976 and written by group member Winfred Lovett, the song became one of the biggest hits of 1976 and a soul classic. It reached the Top 10 in many countries (#4 UK, #7 in Canada) but climbed all the way to #1 in Belgium, the Netherlands and New Zealand.

Winfred "Blue" Lovett originally considered the song a country tune, more appropriate to be sung by Glen Campbell or Charley Pride but eventually decided to do it with his group. It's his spoken voice that you hear at the beginning of the album version, with Gerald Alston taking over the lead vocals as the song progresses. It was the first and only #1 pop hit in the US for The Manhattans. "Kiss and Say Goodbye" ended the decade at #83 on the Billboard Top 100 Songs of the 1970s.
