New York state of mind

[SandraDee]

I recently decided to do a tribute tape to the 'spritual home' of disco & the city that never sleeps (I know, I'm so cliched!)


'You Get High In New York City' - Revanche (Atlantic 7" '79)
'Am I Ever Gonna Fall in Love In NYC' - Grace Jones ('78 Island LP - the high point from her Fame LP IMO)
'In New York' - Passion - (Prelude LP '79 Produced by Mr.Amant, Ray Martinez)
'Im Never Gonna Leave You (New York) - Gotham Flasher (Keylock LP '79 Co-produced by Gino Soccio)
'New York' - Nuggets (Canadian London, written by the Tantra team of Valli & Taylor)
'Fire Island' - Village People (dont go in the bushes! or maybe I will...)
'Manhattan Love Song' - King Errison (Westbound 12" - another wonderful Mike Theodore production)
'NY You've Got Me Dancing' - Andrea True Connection (her final decent disco moment)
'New York City Boy' - Pet Shop Boys (I know its not classic 'disco', but I just love 'em)
'Manhattan' - Roundtree (Warner '78 the classic Rogers & Hart song)
'I Love New York' - Metropolis (Salsoul CD comp. '78. Good but not as brilliant as 'Greatest Show on Earth')
'Cruisin The Streets' - Boystown Gang ('81 - well, they do mention Christopher Street!! :roll: )


Can anyone think of any more NY titles? I'm sure there must be hundreds.

Steely,

Nice list! Don't forget:
Native New Yorker - Odyssey
All the Critics Love You in NY - Prince

[occasio]

NYCNYUSA - Fatback Band

Maybe a bit marginal....

[SandraDee]

Thanx Bernie, how could I forget Native New Yorker. I just remembered another, 'New Yorks On Fire' - 7th Avenue. Unfortunatley I cant put it on the tape 'cos its on my 'wants' list still! (& thanx occasio, I'm not familiar with that Fatback track).

i believe kelly marie had a song called "new york at night"
the b side of feels like im in love
carmine

[SandraDee]

Thanx for that, I've remembered yet another too - 'Night in New York' by Elbow Bones & the Racketeers from '83. It's got to be the most sung about city. Nobody ever does 'Night in Colchester' or 'We Love Felixstowe' do they?

[hotdiscomix]

Metropolis: New York Is My Kind Of Town (1978)
Dennis Parker: New York By Night (1979)
Village People: Manhattan Woman (1979)
Extensions From Area Code: Manhattan Shuffle (1980)
Manhattan Transfer: Boy From New York City (1981)
Ice T: From New York To LA (1981)
Nina Hagen: New York, New York (1984)
Tyzik: Jammin' In Manhattan (1984)

:P

also on a more recent note we have
the pet shop boys with "new york city boy"
which has a very donna summer sounding violin section.

One that comes in my mind :

Klein & MBO : The big Apple

More italo disco than disco, but nice track ...

[Marcio**]

"Manhattan Skyline" by David Shire
"Manhattan Skyline" by MFSB

[NickNack]

"New York City" - Village People, 1985, Record Shack Records. Written/Produced by Jacques Morali.
"New York Times" - Nancy Costa
"New York Cake" - Kano
"New York City Beat" - Man2Man
"New York Eyes" - Nicole w/Timmy Thomas

[QUINNY]

What!!! No Miroslav Vitous - New York City. A much overhyped record if ever there was one, but hey! who am I to argue with trendies everywhere.

[Graham_Start]

The Girl From New York City -- Alec R Costandinos (not a disco track, but hey...)

[SandraDee]

Wow, so many tracks, some I know & some I don't. I've just thought of yet another too, 'Harlem Nocturne' by Wildflower on TK records.

[Nano]

This one ain't disco either, but you're British and I kinda remember you liked this band (I do):

"Hey Manhattan!" by Prefab Sprout 8)
