Geocache Description:


Eight Hundred SeventyEighth in the Famous People (FP) Series - Tim Hauser


Timothy DuPron "Tim" Hauser (December 12, 1941 – October 16, 2014) was a singer and founder-member of the vocal group The Manhattan Transfer.

In 1969, he formed the first version of The Manhattan Transfer with Gene Pistilli, Marty Nelson, Erin Dickins and Pat Rosalia. The group had a jazz/R&B sound. Together they recorded one album Jukin', on the Capitol Records label, under legendary manager, Richard Flanzer. However, this version of the group dissolved in the early 70s.

Hauser took odd jobs to support himself while still pursuing his musical career, including driving a taxicab. Through this he met a waitress and aspiring singer, Laurel Massé. Hauser was again driving his cab when he picked up the conga player for the group Laurel Canyon, who invited him to a party, where he met Janis Siegel. Together with Laurel, they decided to reform The Manhattan Transfer. They needed a male singer, so they contacted Alan Paul. The four became The Manhattan Transfer on October 1, 1972. After a car accident, Massé decided to leave the group and pursue a solo career, and in 1978 Cheryl Bentyne was hired to replace her. From then on, the line-up was mostly unchanged, with only occasional substitutions due to group member illnesses.

The group's first album for Atlantic was The Manhattan Transfer (1975), which included their first successful single, the gospel music tune "Operator".
