David Tyson

    David Tyson grew up in a musical family, the song of Laura Lee Tyson and Edward Lewis Harvey. And his admiration of his older brother, Ron Tyson stoked that musical love even more. Ron was an accomplished Philadelphia songwriter who became the falsetto lead for the Temptations in the 1980s and David saw through that a possible future career.

    Tyson formed the group Final Touch and began making waves in the Philadelphia area. But it was his call from Ron telling David that the reuniting Manhattans – led by Gerald Alston and Blue Lovett -- were looking for a tenor singer that really changed his life.  David auditioned and became part of the quartet, along with Troy May. He has kept that role for two decades, continuing with Alston even after the passing of Lovett.
