When the Manhattan Transfer formed in October 1972, singer Janis Siegel says she and the other three singers in the vocal quartet initially kept their day jobs.
“I was waitressing at the time, at the very beginning of the group,” Siegel, 70, says recently. “We all had day jobs. Alan’s happened to be on Broadway.”
And not just any old Broadway show either: Alan Paul was part of the original Broadway cast of “Grease,” double cast as Teen Angel and Johnny Casino.
