'rich'music on
By Maria Baens
Envision a batallion of characters kicking
up their heels for recognition. Add a
multitude of talent, glittering and
generous. Cross their fingers, and take a
bow. Welcome to Manhattan Transfer.
Now meet the "Bodies and Souls," the
latest album from Janis Siegel, Cheryl
Bentyne, Tim Hauser and Alan Paul.
A crisp salad of 1950s bebop, rhythm
and blues, jazz and modern synthesizer
sound is blended on "Bodies and Souls."
Once more, the quartet displays the same
rich blend of fancy instrumental backup
and striking voices. The voices range from
Siegel's shrill notes to Tim Hauser's affec
ting tenor.
DON'T FORGET to give a nod of approval
to Frankie Valli's contribution of
his historical falsetto to "American
Pop," a song with forgettable lyrics but
with a danceable tune.
Ernie Watts' plays a favorable alto sax
solo for Rod Temperton's sweet
\ "Mystery," a romantic ballad with
{ unabashed sentiment.

Turnin' back the hands of time
Holdin' on to misty memories
Chasin' shadows thru the night

And certainly included in a list of
memories, Stevie Wonder's uplifting

whiff of a harmonica solo on the upbeat
and deliciously lively "Spice of Life." It's
a beguiling fast rhythm: "Tonight let's
taste the spice of life/Keep it sweet until
the mornin' light."
"Code of Ethics," dedicated especially
to the Olympic athletes, has lyrics by Alan
Paul and music co-written by Randy
Waldman. It has a goose-bump-raising
prelude and an eerie chorus.
ENERGY IS derived from synthesizer
sound as visions of flexing muscles and
cheering crowds in slow motion come to
mind. Still, there's the notion: Vangelis

''Chariots of Fire."
"Malaisie en Malaisie" is sheer magic,
the English lyrics are by Paul, and the
French lyrics are by Serge Gainsbourg.
Hauser gives a subdued but heartrending
rendition sparked up by Paul's tingling
high pitch.
ALSO, ONE might look for the highspirited
satire of biting songs like
"(Wanted) Dead or Alive" and "Spies in
the Night."
Still, "Bodies and Souls" is a joyous
trip. It is an invigorating display of
Manhattan Transfer's continued effort to
explore its abundant resources of people

The band still plays with new sounds as
well as old to arrive at a unique blend of
nostalgia and innovation.

Carly Simon sta
sweaters insteai
NEW YORK (AP) -Carly Simon, patrician
tall and Martha's Vineyard tanned, eases
open her sweater closet, gently removing a
gray-greenish one trimmed in white. Then
she takes out a softer, more feminine sweater
in white with ruffles.
"I think 'Carly' is OK for the label, don't
you?" she says. Carly Simon - singer and
songwriter - is talking sweaters now, not
mncir?
"I'm in the sweater business," she says. "I
love sweaters, but none of them fit. The
sleeves aren't long enough, the neckline is
wrong, the shoulders aren't padded enough.
So I took all of my sweaters and revised them
the way I'd want them to be."
SHE SMILES a smile Lhat seems to devour
her entire face. It is her facial pride, illuminating
her almond shaped blue eyes,
full, sensual lips and adoring dimples.
"I really like this one," she says, quietly
brushing her hand over the white sweater.
Simon and Lisa Campbell, a neighbor in
the tiny Martha's Vineyard fishing village of
N /I1.?rr . i- . _r 1 - -

bought a few knitting machines and started
making sweaters. The first two are ready and
are to be sold in boutiques in the beach
community.
It's just one project tugging for her attention
these days. She also has a new album,

t4Hey, Big Man," with rave reviews, and a
hot video for Music Television. Plus, she's
considering film projects and has given some
thought to creative writing.
"TEN YEARS ago, 1 felt very much at a
beginning period, and strangely enough, I
feel that way again," she said. "In 1973, it
had to do with being pregnant and being a
star, or starlet. I had mv first success and it
seemed like my life was turning around."
Now, she says: "My marriage is over and
it's a beginning. It's a new wav of seeing my
life."
Her 10-year marriage to singer James
Taylor ended in divorce last year. There are
no regrets. "I do feel that I was successful in
my marriage," she said.
Simon had no formal training as a singer,
uui snc grew up in Kivcraaie, in.y., and
Stamford, Conn., in an environment brimming
with music. Her father, publisher
Richard Simon, who co-founded Simon and
Schuster, was a pianist. Her mother studied
voice and her older sister, Joanna, was an accomplisher
opera singer.
SIMON, AND younger sister, Lucy, began
singing folk songs as a duo while Simon was
a student at Sarah Lawrence College.
Simon spent only two years in college,
noddine to the oromise of a rarrpr in nnn
music.
