This is what my family and myself called "Lakefront music". We'd just drive from the Southside of Chicago to the Northside. Lake Shore drive with this and many other smooth jazz tunes blasting on the car audio. Late 80s, early 90s. Great memories!
I don't know about New York City but this tune works in Chicago. WNUA 95.9 had this going on at night on Rush street. Or on a full moon cruising the lakefront.
This is a hard to find CD. It was on the Gaia label and it was also the first time I had heard of Nelson. It's in my library along with Playing For Keeps.
Thanks SO much for posting this. My brother and I have to tried to find this track and can't find it on iTunes, etc anywhere! We've had a cassette radio dub of it from the early 90's that we've been living with. Thanks again!
This also reminds me of New York City and Michigan Avenue in Chicago. i can see myself strolling down the street with a woman on my arm, both of us enjoying the things around us.
