Born January 17, 1954 in Mount Vernon (Washington), Cheryl Bentyne is a Grammy Award-winning singer and a member of the vocal quartet The Manhattan Transfer. Born into a musical family, Bentyne started singing at the age of 13. At the encouragement of her mother she joined her father's Dixieland and swing band, performing weekends at the local Elks Lodge. She honed her stage skills and developed her jazz and swing-style singing. In 1978 Bentyne auditioned with The Manhattan Transfer and became the permanent replacement for singer Laurel Massé, who had been injured in an automobile accident. Her first appearance with the group was on the album Extensions (1979). The cover version of "Birdland" won the Grammy Award for Best Jazz Fusion Performance, the first Grammy won by The Manhattan Transfer. With the group Bentyne won ten Grammys. She also won Grammys for her arrangement of "Another Night in Tunisia" and for writing the song "Sassy".
