Time to put on our bulky headphones, take out a vinyl LP, and pop it on the turntable for another Hidden Gem. Today, as you may have surmised from the headline, we’re going to enjoy a melodic and funky tune from The Manhattans entitled “Strange Old World.”

“Strange Old World” was written by the group’s Richard Taylor and first appeared on their 1972 album A Million To One. The song was so good it showed up again on the The Manhattans 1974 LP That’s How Much I Love You. Soak it up.
