- Janis Siegel was another original member of the group. She was a versatile vocalist with a wide vocal range and sang both lead and background vocals. Her vocal contributions were an essential part of The Manhattan Transfer's signature harmonies.
- Alan Paul was the fourth member of the group in 1977. He was a tenor singer and contributed to the group's tight harmonies and vocal arrangements. His rich voice added depth to the ensemble's sound.

COLLECTABILITY
Tour programs are highly collectable and sought after for several reasons. Firstly, they provide a tangible memento of a specific concert or event, allowing fans to relive the experience and cherish the memories associated with it. Tour programs often feature exclusive content like behind-the-scenes photos, interviews, and detailed information about the artists and their performances. Additionally, they serve as a snapshot of a particular era in an artist's career, making them valuable to both music enthusiasts and historians. Whether you're a dedicated fan or a passionate collector, owning these programs offers a tangible connection to the music world and serves as a treasured piece of memorabilia.
Programs can also be framed together with other items we have on our website such as vinyl records, official stage guitar picks, autographs, backstage passes, concert tickets, drumsticks and photos and you can create a truly one-of-a-kind unique piece of memorabilia.
