So wild to see my dad playing violin in this orchestra. I remember when he shot it and told me it took Liza over 100 takes to get it to her satisfaction.
Don't get me wrong, I love Sinatra and like his version of this song (which was his last top 40 hit), but this is THE version. Liza can really belt 'em! If you haven't seen the movie, check it out, it's an underrated Scorcese film.
Exactly! I mean I love Frank. And...yeah...he can change or screw up lyrics because he’s Frank; he can do no wrong. And when he sings this it’s great fun. But the first time I heard this song I was in a movie theater watching this film. This is the original. This is Liza; this is the best version ever. I’ve loved Liza since before CABARET. I was fortunate enough to see her AND Joel Grey in concert together. There is no one that can touch her performances of big numbers, IMHO. And this is the biggest. (I’m not a gay man. But I’m watching HALSTON right now. And my Liza passion has been reawakened.) 😊💕
@@nhmooytis7058 The first time I went to NYC I was talking to a flight attendant. She and a few other women attendants shared rent on an apartment in the city, because during each month they’d all have flights that started or ended there, or they’d lay over. So maybe a week or so every month each of them lived in New York. (If it was close to either airport it wasn’t in Manhattan, so not AS costly. But you’re only a cab fare or subway ride away.) I thought that would be perfect. Of course, that was in 1986. And I was young. I probably couldn’t afford anything now even if 5 or 6 of us went in on a place. I live in a midsize Southern city. We’re not HUGE, but we’re well known. But a week each month in the greatest city in the world (mayor and politics aside), would be great.
Bravo și felicitări pentru toată echipa de filmare care au realizat acest mare videoclip original din filmul new york, new york cu actorii principali liza minneli și robert de niro în regia marelui regizor martin scorsese.

I remember watching this film when I was in high school. One of the best films EVER, very inspirational (but also sad). The acting, singing, everything is absolute perfection Love it so much and I wanna watch it again!!!!!
... *Their own favourite* - the version that John Kander describes as being 'definitive' - is *this* one. John Kander stated this, emphatically on ' Front Row ', [ BBB, radio 4 ].
When this movie came out, I remember the local top 40 radio station ran 3 minute ads that played this song in it's entirety, and the commercial stating that it was Liza Minnelli in the new movie New York New York. So I never saw the movie until I caught it on TV years later. When I heard the song on the radio, I knew from the ads and Siskel and Ebert, that it was a movie set in the 40s, so I always imagined the song was set in a colorful staged setting like in Judy Garland's Get Happy performance, with Liza dressed In an Andrews Sisters-type costume. Although this performance is nothing like I imagined, the staging and the choreography are Sublime and IMHO matches Judy's the man who got away movie performance in it's watching repeatability. Bravo Liza and Martin.
Start spreading the news I am leaving today I want to be a part of it New York, New York These vagabond shoes Are longing to stray Right through the very heart of it New York, New York I wanna wake up, in a city That doesn't sleep And find I'm king of the hill Top of the heap This little town blues Are melting away I'll make a brand new start of it In old New York If I can make it there I'll make it anywhere It's up to you New York, New York New York, New York I want to wake up in that city That never sleeps And find I'm hey number one Top of the list King of the hill Hey number one These are little town blues They have all melted away I'm gonna make a brand new start of it In old New York And I If I can make it there I'm gonna make it anywhere It's up to you New York, New York, New York
Certain traits are genetic. Liza was never a “bad replica”. I always saw and heard so much of Judy in Liza right from the beginning. I’m old enough to have seen her in her beginnings.
In concert he didn't usually do the "A number one" line. Plus she always did "come on, come through," instead of "it's up to you." Sometimes Sinatra would sing that as an homage to Liza. Sinatra was her sister Lorna's godfather, having been a close friend of their mother Judy Garland.
