In 1972 the original Manhattan Transfer had disbanded, and founder Tim Hauser re-formed the band with different singers, including Siegel. This incarnation of the band has enjoyed international popularity, covering songs from the 1930s through the 1980s in a variety of genres including jazz fusion, R&B, pop, and doo wop. The band has received 10 Grammy Awards during Siegel's ongoing tenure, and was inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2003. Her first solo album, ''Experiment in White'', was released in 1981, and her second album, ''At Home'', was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Female Jazz Vocalist. Siegel is a Grammy Award winner as a member of The Manhattan Transfer. In 1985, Siegel joined Jon Hendricks, Bobby McFerrin and Dianne Reeves in a group called Sing, Sing, Sing. She is currently a member of Bobby McFerrin's Voicestra.
