homage to New York City

[JOL]

Here's a list of what I have so for from your suggestion (thanks everyone). The ones with the bmp are songs that I have and the others without the bpm I was not able to obtain. As you can see from the list there isn't many in the lower bpms which will make it harder for me to do some mixing at the lower tempos. If anyone has more suggestions for the lower tempos (60 to 118 bpm) it would be greatly appreciated.

One that I don't see in your list and a lower bpm...

Nights On Broadway - Bee Gees (also Candi Staton)

[JOL]

Thanks Discokicks I'll check it out. This could also open up the topic of disco cover songs of broadway musicals. IE If My Friends Could See Me Now-Linda Clifford from the musical Sweet Charity. Memory-Menage from the musical Cats or The Man I Love-Westside Strutters from Strike Up The Band. Does anyone have more suggestions?

[VINYLLIFE]

Wow thats alot of New York songs. Got to include Baseball Furies Chase. The New York street gang that could not cut it..... Pu$$ie$

Other Broadway tunes....

Maybe This Time by Norma Lewis (Cabaret)

Big Spender by The Ritchie Family (Sweet Charity)

Evita lp by Festival

Up The Yellow Brick Road lp by The Salsoul Orchestra (The Wiz, West Side Story, Fiddler On The Roof)

And there are two volumes of Turned On Broadway with medleys of show tunes done in a Hooked On Classics style.

And don't forget The Ethel Merman Disco Album. It's full of show tunes

[needlefingers]

I'm An Indian Too by Don Armando's 2nd Ave Rhumba Band (Annie Get Your Gun)
