The Manhattans, originally from Jersey City, formed in 1962 with members George "Smitty" Smith (born Dec 18, 1939, Florida, died December 16, 1970), Edward "Sonny" Bivins (born Edward Jessie Bivins, Jr., January 15, 1936, Macon, Georgia, died December 3, 2014, Basking RidgeBernards Township, New Jersey), Winfred "Blue" Lovett (born Winfred Lorenzo Lovett, November 16, 1936, Jersey City, died December 9, 2014, Arizona), Kenny "Wally" Kelley (born Kenneth Bernard Kelly, January 9, 1941, Jersey City, died February 17, 2015), and Richard "Ricky" Taylor (born in 1940, died December 7, 1987). Bivins, Lovett, and Kelley were graduating from Lincoln High School, while Taylor and Smith were graduating from Snyder High School. All five enlisted in the armed forces and came together as a group following their discharges from their respective branches.
The Manhattans is the self-titled album by R&B vocal group The Manhattans, released in 1976 on the Columbia label. The Manhattans was the group's third Columbia album; the previous two (There's No Me Without You and That's How Much I Love You) had sold respectably to the R&B market, but failed to garner any significant crossover attention. The Manhattans however went on to become commercially the most successful album of the group's career, peaking at #16 on the Billboard 200 and #6 on the R&B listings.
With seven of the ten tracks recorded at the famed Sigma Sound Studios in Philadelphia, the album is, in terms of vocal style and production, very much in the elegant, slick and sophisticated tradition of the premier male Philadelphia soul vocal groups of the early to mid-1970s, such as The Delfonics and Blue Magic, although the influence of the then burgeoning disco sound is also evident on the more uptempo tracks such as "Searching for Love". The album's commercial success was driven by the release of the single "Kiss and Say Goodbye", which took off immediately in all markets and became the group's signature song. With its distinctive 60-second spoken introduction by Winfred "Blue" Lovett (also the writer of the song), the single (edited by almost a minute from the album version) topped the R&B chart for one week in May 1976, then crossed over into the pop market and also spent two weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 in July. "Kiss and Say Goodbye" also became a major hit in the UK, reaching #4 and pushing the album into the top 40. Later in 1976, the single "Hurt" – a cover of a song which had previously been a hit for Roy Hamilton and Timi Yuro in 1954 and 1961 respectively – also rose to #4 in the UK, despite having barely scraped into the top 100 in the U.S. when released there in late 1975.

Chorus:
Many months have passed us by
(I´m gonna miss you)
I´m gonna miss you, I can´t lie
(I´m gonna miss you)
I´ve got ties, and so do you
I just think this is the thing to do
Maybe you´ll meet, you´ll meet another guy
Understand me, won´t you try, try, try, try, try, try, try
Let´s just kiss and say goodbye (Goodbye)

The Manhattans - Wish That You Were Mine
WISH THAT YOU WERE MINE
Waiter, could we have the same table we had yesterday
Woo, ooh, ooh, ooh
Here we are again
Sipping our drinks just like friends
I wonder if they see the sparkle in your eyes
I wonder if they know that I'm not your guy, mmm, hmm
I wonder if they see
That you don't belong tome
Wish that you could be mine
Mine, all mine, mmmmmm
It'll be hard for him to understand
I am his friend and he is your man
I wonder what my lady would say
If she knew I met you everyday, mmm, hmm
Sooner or later
Don't you know they're gonna find out and they'll hate us
Oh, I wish that you could be mine
Mine, all mine, mmm
It's 2 a.m., the place is gonna close
The bartender looks as though he knows
Everybody's, everybody's made it home
