New-York City Historian | Brooklyn, NYC, USA | 01/25/2005

(2 out of 5 stars)

"These are the essential New York songs that should have replaced almost every song on this collection:

1) New York, New York (Frank Sinatra, Gene Kelly and Jules Munshin)

2) The Brooklyn Bridge (Frank Sinatra)

3) Lullaby of Broadway (The Andrews Sisters)

4) Forty-Second Street (The Boswell Sisters)

5) Take Me Back to New York Town (Billy Murray)

6) Streets of New York (Billy Murray)

7) Give My Regards to Broadway (Billy Murray/George M. Cohan)

8) Theme From "New York, New York" (Frank Sinatra)

This collection pretty much sucks.

"This is the most diverse themed collection I have ever seen. I think that's what interested me enough to purchase it. I was not disappointed, although I didn't care for a couple of arrangements. This collection represents 4 decades of music, ranging from Ella Fitzgerald to Mel Torme; from Sammy Davis Jr. to the Drifters; and from Judy Collins to Ben E. King. Of course no New York collection would be complete without a couple of Broadway songs. This collection seemed to have something for everyone, including comic relief with Allan Sherman. I recommend "New York Songs" to anyone that likes eclectic."
