Patitucci, drummer Antonio Sanchez, guitarist Romero Lubambo and vibraphonist Stefon Harris. Siegel learned about collaboration in the music business at an early age. She sang with a pop trio, the Young Generation, when she was 12. The group had released two singles, "The Hideaway" and "It's Not Gonna Take Too Long," by the time the three graduated from high school. "When Motown became popular, I fell head over heels for it as well as for people like Aretha Franklin," she says. "I also went insane over the Beatles, but I loved Barbra Streisand, too." Siegel's trio shifted from pop to acoustic folk and renamed themselves Laurel Canyon. Her focus on music intensified while she was studying nursing, and she left school to pursue a full-time performance career. The vocalist helped'form the versa- tile Manhattan Transfer after meeting Hauser at a party. She got to know Alan Paul and early member Laurel Masse through Hauser. The group's self-titled album debuted in 1975, and the members have worked together since, making eclectic combinations that include a new CD to be released in September. It ranges from numbers by Rufus Wainwright to a Broadway tune by Gershwin. Siegel has sung lead on some of the Transfer's biggest hits, including "Operator," "Chanson D'Amour" and The Boy from N.Y.C." "Transfer is four-part harmony, and being in it is like being married times four," says Siegel, divorced with a 10-year-old son. "A lot of our staying together really involves doing one's best for the good of the group. Siegel, who considers herself Jewish but doesn't consider religion a big part of her life, has appeared many times in the Detroit area. "I have a dear friend, Steve Zeegree, at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo," says Siegel, who will travel with Transfer to that city for a March 20 perform- ance at Miller Auditorium. "He's director of Gold Company, one of the finest jazz vocal groups in the country, and I've sung with the group a lot. I work at the Firefly in Ann Arbor and also enjoy that city." The vocalist's diverse collabora- tions have paired her with singer Bobby McFerrin, Japanese singer/pianist Akiko Yano and an all- star ensemble introducing new works by Cy Coleman and Alan and Marilyn Bergman-. Siegel, thinking ahead to her Broadway Sketches tour, said she would do more volunteering for organizations that fight AIDS if she spent more time in New York. The singer has made one recording with other singers to benefit AIDS causes, an important commit- ment as she thinks about her friends with the disease. "I love the arrangements and tex- tures Gil Goldstein created to go with the music on Broadway Sketches," Siegel says. "Lyrically, I relate to all the tunes, from 'Show Me,' an upbeat song in Lerner and Loewe's My Fair Lady; to 'Sorry/ Grateful,' a sophisticated, complex song about marriage in Stephen Sondheim's Company." El Manhattan Transfer performs 8 p.m. Friday, March 19, at the Macomb Center for the Performing Arts in Clinton Township. $39-$45.
