Winfred blue lovett biography of martin

The world has lost another great Soul Legend and one of the baddest bass singers in the world; the incomparable Mr. Winfred “Blue” Lovett of the historical Grammy award winning R&B classic soul group, The Manhattans.

For over 50 years, Blue’s voice and incredible lyrics have embellished numerous musical tracks and his presence has graced stages around the world.

I personally will never forget August 13, 2009 when The Ultimate Persuaders invited me to help them pay homage to The Manhattans in Harlem, NY and I had the privilege of rendering Blue’s signature intro to “Kiss & Say Goodbye”.

The highlight of that day was when I looked into Blue’s eyes as I sang his part and he erupted with laughter, shook my hand and said “You got it, you got it”. What an honor.

His stage presence and unparalleled bass vocals will truly be missed in our daily lives but will live on forever within our hearts and souls through his music and some of the most beautiful lyrics ever penned by man.
