One of the greatest indie soul albums of the 60s -- a hell of a debut from The Manhattans, who were singing with an incredible style even at this early point in their career! The album cooks seriously on all burners -- and features both sweet harmony numbers and more upbeat Northern-styled tracks -- all of which are recorded in sublime simplicity, so that the group's vocals dominate with a near doo wop approach to the tracks -- yet have a fresh 60s crackle that never sounds hokey! Titles include "Follow Your Heart", "Can I", "The Boston Monkey", "Manhattan Stomp", "Searchin For My Baby", "What's It Gonna Be", and "Teach Me The Philly Dog".
