New York, New York
Frank Sinatra · Duets
I want to be a part of it
New York, New York
These vagabond shoes, are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it
New York, New York
I want to wake up, in a city that doesn't sleeps
And find I'm king of the hill
Top of the heap
These little town blues, are melting away
I'll make a brand new start of it
In old New York
If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you, New York..New York
New York...New York
I want to wake up, in a city that never sleeps
And find I'm A number one, top of the list
King of the hill, A number one....
These little town blues, are melting away
I'll make a brand new start of it
In old New York
If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you, New York..New York New York!!!
New York, New York
Frank Sinatra's rendition of 'New York, New York' stands as a definitive interpretation of the iconic anthem. While originally composed for the 1977 film of the same name, Sinatra adopted the song as a personal signature, performing it with his characteristic phrasing and emotional depth. This recording appears on the album Duets, showcasing his ability to share the spotlight while maintaining his commanding vocal presence. The track captures the enduring spirit of the city, blending big band orchestration with Sinatra's mature, resonant tone. As a staple of his later career, the song reflects his status as a master of the American songbook. It remains a powerful example of how a single performance can elevate a composition into a cultural touchstone, cementing its place within his extensive and celebrated discography.
