Bodies and Souls is the seventh studio album by The Manhattan Transfer, released in September 1983 on the Atlantic Records label.

This album took the Manhattan Transfer in a different direction from their previous releases, offering a new, revised style of their music.

[1] Alan Paul co-wrote two songs on the album, "Malaise En Malaisie" and "Code of Ethics".

Both "Spice of Life" and "Mystery" were written by Rod Temperton and Derek Bramble and originally recorded by Michael Jackson for his Thriller album in 1982.

"This Independence", written by Canadian composer Marc Jordan (famous for "Living In Marina Del Rey"), was also released on a 12" disco single.
