Coming Out is the third album by The Manhattan Transfer, released August 19, 1976 on Atlantic Records.

On the advice of their manager Aaron Russo, the group downplayed the "nostalgic" tenor of their previous breakthrough album in favor of more contemporary songs.[citation needed] However, the throwback single "Chanson d'Amour" became a breakout single in Europe, and hit the #1 spot in Great Britain for three weeks (as well as charting elsewhere in Europe).[citation needed]

The song "Zindy Lou" features Ringo Starr and Jim Keltner on drums, Dr. John on piano and Doug Thorngren providing additional percussion. The song "Poinciana" (The Song Of The Tree) features a Michael Brecker solo.
