Kings Singers stomp all over Manhattan Transfer. They certainly have their whimsical material which is often performed to showcase their virtuosity and there's no doubt that's very uncool. But their classical stuff and their more serious repetoire can be genuinely moving.

This video, for "Soul Food to Go," from the Brazil album (1987) touches a nostalgic nerve in me. The song was co-written by Doug Fieger of The Knack, of all people
