The New York City Traveler

10 Songs About New York

by Heather on May 18th, 2008

New York City can be quite an inspiration for creative-types.  Musicians from Frank Sinatra to Billy Joel, Duke Ellington to Run DMC have been so taken by the city that they have made New York City the center of their songs.  Here is a short list of some of the my favorite songs featuring New York:

  1. “New York City Rhythm” Barry Manilow
  2. “City of Blinding Light” U2
  3. “I Love New York” Madonna
  4. “No Sleep Till Brooklyn” Beastie Boys
  5. “Christmas in Hollis” Run DMC
  6. “New York State of Mind” Billy Joel
  7. “Take the ‘A’ Train” Duke Ellington
  8. “Autumn in New York” Ella Fitzgerald
  9. “Bleecker Street” Simon & Garfunkel
  10. “Theme from New York, New York” Frank Sinatra
