Did Manhattan Transfer first meet in a taxi?

Yes, the Manhattan Transfer, the vocal jazz group, famously first met in a taxi. Founding members Tim Hauser, Janis Siegel, and Cheryl Bentyne were brought together by chance when they shared a cab in New York City in the early 1970s. This serendipitous encounter eventually led to the formation of the group, which became well-known for its unique blend of jazz, pop, and R&B.
