Their single, "Chanson D'Amour" became an international success, reaching No. 1 on charts in multiple countries, including the UK, and helping cement the group's place in pop and jazz history.
"Chanson D’Amour" showcased the group's ability to reinterpret older material with a fresh, polished sound, blending pop, jazz and vocal harmony into something uniquely their own. The song, written by Wayne Shanklin, was first recorded by Art and Dotty Todd in 1958, and peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard charts. The Manhattan Transfer's version later solidified the song's status as a pop standard.
"We all had different influences," Paul said in a 2008 interview. "All of us came from different backgrounds, and we brought to the table a lot of different passions. It was a matter of the quality and the heart put into a particular song. We always had a very wide scope in terms of our palette—in terms of how we wanted to paint. I think we realized that to have longevity we needed to be flexible."
"I think we're going out on top. And that's the way I always wanted it. I think we all felt that way," said Paul. "We didn’t want to have it deteriorate. We want to be remembered for our greatness, and we certainly have a wonderful legacy."
