Is that the one that Mondo Kane featuring Georgie Fame did in '86? I've got that version & it's a lovely jazzy song isn't it?8-)

[tony98]

Yes i did like the Mondo Kane as well. The Richie Cole & Eddie Jefferson version came out in about 80' Georgie Fame is a big Eddie Jefferson fan.

[JussiK]

Midnight In Manhattan & New York's On Fire medley on Seventh Avenue lp, 1979. This is by Ian Levine. Could the male singers be the same guys who emerged some 5 years later on Levine's hi-nrg period boy band Seventh Avenue ? They sure sound the alike.

Hi ATG! The song refers to the city: She also mentions Regine's and 12 West in the lyrics.

That may be true, but the thread's title was a direct quote of the lyrics from the song "New York New York" by Gerard Kenny, which was an airplay hit if not a sales hit in the UK (and no doubt other countries) in 1979.

[markydefad]

Never heard of that song. The phrase I suggested was part of a commercial or something for New York. It sounds very familiar to American ears.

The Brit version does not. But thanks for the info.;)

[markydefad]

oops I shoulda typed Good doesn't rhyme with Twice...that would make more sense, wouldn't it? :oops::-o
