[BBQFanNo1]

1977

[23EmilyPrincess]

I love New york 

[Yankeesjmmix]

Cant get song!

[strykertool]

I thought New York, New York was the state anthem not this song. I think everyone thinks that New York New York is the state song. I don't care since im from Yonkers. Their both good.

[MyMultimedia]

@strykertool "New York, New York" is only about NYC. "I Love New York" is about the whole state, of which NYC is a part. If Albany decided to make "New York, New York" the state song, the people upstate would be strongly offended.

[gracyzet]

New York is the best place on Earth! love it so much

[speeps84]

I honestly had no idea we had a state anthem.

[jeropk]

u spelled in fact infact and u showed a hot chick in public with her bottom naked wtf

[jeropk]

who dislike this song sucks cause new york rules

[MyMultimedia]

Somebody accidentally clicked "dislike" when he/she meant to click "like. Whoever it was, I forgive you.

[jeropk]

@MyMultimedia dont forgive him or her he or she might be a stupid hater of new york i loveee new yorrrrkkkkkk dont forgive that guy or girl

[bktodc]

[thereallyquitesimple]

[BBQFanNo1]

Governor Hugh Carey's tourist promo introduced in the Spring of 1977 to promote a much more positive image of both NYC and the State of New York going through complete big economic fallout by the mid 1970s.

[nyclaybreaker]

@BBQFanNo1

they should at least change it now...its 40 years later and those times are past.......the STATE song of NY should reflect the values of the state....not the couple square miles of city at its farthest edge...

[nyclaybreaker]

As a New Yorker (THE STATE NOT THE DAMN CITY) I vote to change the STATE song to something that fits the STATE...not just the city....everytime I leave the damn state and people ask where I'm from...I say New York....and they always assume I mean NYC......this and because this damn song blowsssss

[celiojunio21]

Eu Amo Nova York

[Kell1295]

Yay my town! <3

[Clay4legacy]

Very cool song! I am a New Yorkian, but now live in Wild and Wonderful West Virginia!! I till love NY though!

[SherwoodofRobin]

hi @Clay4legacy - Cheers for the comment Bill, N.Y.C will always be a cool place on the world map, I'm an Englishman and I've only ever been once to N.Y back in the 80s but loved every minute, I'd love to go there again. Best Regards from the UK. Rob

[Clay4legacy]

@SherwoodofRobin Thanks bro.... Would love to see England some day....

[ExtonJock]

I love New York...now more than ever! Thank You Governor Cuomo!!!!

[SherwoodofRobin]

hi @ExtonJock , right on Governor!

[xElectricVibe]

Jesus. How I wish I was from there. It's too good for words.

[EverlastingCC]

Proud to be a New Yorker ^w^

[KoichiXx]

ITS CRAPPY

[KoichiXx]

i luv it



[thetrickster9898]

i live in new york and through all i have been through i love NEW YORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! spread the joy

[BBQFanNo1]

I have relatives who lived in Uniondale NY from Spring 1961 until November 1977 and then they moved to Scottsdale Arizona. They missed the 4 seasons there and hated the 115 degree farenheit Summers in Arizona so they eventually moved back there in 1996 after both of they retired from their jobs

[dlmorrow11]

This makes me real homesick!!

[tyrese3745]

@BBQFanNo1 You wouldn't happen to have been around the famous Blackout of '77, would ya?

[BBQFanNo1]

@tyrese3745 10 days after. Still a mess but Eastern Long Island looked a lot nicer. Going to watch the Yankees vs the Royals on July 24th at Yankee Stadium was the highlight in NYC. Bonus part was they won the game 3-1. Although Riverhead,East Hampton,Montauk, and the Atlantic Ocean were more variety highlights of the vacation than NYC. NYC was very messy at that time. But people who told me going there years later say it looks a lot nicer than I saw in 1977.

[EmsFather]

Thank you so much for creating this video. I own the single and just converted it to an MP3. It is nice but can't compare to your upload. Greatly appreciated!

[sjbran64]

Oh my God Sherwood, Thanks for posting the best sound quality version of this that I have come across so far. Brought back so many memories. I can still remember the song and the commercials when they ran this campaign. I guess thats the sign of a good song. It just sticks with you. So, So catchy. thanks again.....Steve

[SherwoodofRobin]

hi Steve, glad you liked my video it was fun to make - just goes to show vinyl still shines bright! You have/had some great t.v jingles in the U.S and the love you guys have for your N.Y.C comes through strongley here in the U.K. ATB Rob :)

[sjbran64]

@SherwoodofRobin...Hey there Rob, Thanks again for your post of this song. It got me searching and I was fortunate enough to find (and purchase) a flawless vinyl copy from 1977 "Struttin Records" label Just like yours. I have you to credit for that because until I saw the flash of your "45" on your video I didn't even know it existed. Thanks again Rob. Take Care.....................Steve

[SherwoodofRobin]

hi Steve, glad you managed to get a copy, I can't believe how many hits this video has had!  It's such a 'feel good' sound isn't it. Best Regards form the UK. Rob

[Ricram40]

I soo love new york Im tearing up now cause I miss it so much I am now in Texas

[bearguy217]

We LOVE New York... it's the greatest city in the world... and we will never live anyplace else!!!

[astrofiasco]

I used to think that NEW YORK NEW YORK. was the official NY state SONG. Who knew???

[wiedep]

you don't realize how great it is until you've lived somewhere else!

[SherwoodofRobin]

hi @wiedep, that's a good way of putting it if you've liked a place!

[kwebs10]

@wiedep

agreed

[AltaicUnity]

@wiedep True that brother, especially if it's somewhere like Pennslyvania.

[MyMultimedia]

@AltaicUnity Bashing my state, eh? I do love NY since I have an Aunt that lives on the UES, but what's wrong with PA? She believes PA is underrated!

[zoomping1]

Fond memories. The beginning kinda reminds me of the Rocky theme - And this song was a battle cry of sorts. This song and the campaign saved New York City and New York State as a whole.

[tyrese3745]

The Bronx was NOT a place to live in 1977.

[tyrese3745]

WNEW-TV (now WNYW Fox 5) used this piece to close out its "10 O' Clock News" newscast around the late '70/early '80s.

[EMOTIONALLOGICABLE]

I heard this song played at Shea Stadium so many times during the mid to late 1980's. They often played it after a loss, but they also played it before some big wins like game 7 of the world series against the Red Sox, an 8-5 Mets win.

[EMOTIONALLOGICABLE]

Mets 8 Red Sox 5, Game 7

[70sman4ever]

@EMOTIONALLOGICABLE WAIT A MINUTE!!! That was 1986 NOT 1977! Yankees 4 Dodgers 2...

[EMOTIONALLOGICABLE]

@70sman4ever I heard this song played at Shea Stadium many times during the mid to late 1980's when I was a little kid. They played it often after a loss, but they also played it before game 7 of the 1986 World Series.

[EMOTIONALLOGICABLE]

I love this song

[astrofiasco]

This is the official state song of NY right?

I used to think it was New York, New York. I am from yonkers !

[zoomping1]

kinda reminds me a little of the original Rocky theme, and with a purpose.

[Erasetheinside]

I don't live in Manhattan, I'm from Queens, but I always enjoy visiting Times Square.

[vintolho]

I am brasilian man ,I live in São paulo , Brasil .... ....ainda antes de morrer, se Deus quiser, pisarei no solo de manhattan .........,thank you for posting

[70sman4ever]

I miss the New York of the 1970s man, more down-to-earth and not so artificial and over-priced and gentrified as it is now...New York is only for snobs that's a big pity...Dig it? I prefer my NYC with graffitti and goood old-fashioned pizza where you could smoke in a restaurant and go out to nightclubs or disco strutting in style clad in polyester and bellbottoms...

[tyrese3745]

@70sman4ever Well, what about the events that occurred in that time, like the Blackout of '77, the "Summer of Sam", etc.?

[70sman4ever]

@tyrese3745 Those were the classics man! Hey we need another serial killer out on the loose to prey on these snobby tourist women HEH HEH HEH!! Oh, don't forget the fat ugly beer drinking slobs whose pants fall off their waist! Dig it?!

[batfan1400]

@70sman4ever I was born the same year this song+campaign came out.

It was sick even though I was an infant.I miss those times more than you'll

ever know.NYC is now a snobby playground for the rich folks anyhow.I miss

the grit and toughness/edge of the "REAL" NY had back in the day,

[70sman4ever]

@batfan1400 I am happy that you appreciate what New York City really was and what it should be. remember that you can take New York City out of the "grit" but you can't take the "grit" out of New York City. peace out...

[tyrese3745]

@batfan1400 Just so you know, that song/campaign was describing the places many people can visit in New York State (i.e. campgrounds, beaches, lakes/rivers, the Adrondack mountains, Lake Placid, Lake Champlain, Niagara Falls, Buffalo, Rochester, the state capital Albany, etc.), not necessary New York City (the five boroughs), the towns in Westchester, Rockland, Orange, Putnam, Dutchess, and Ulster Counties, or Long Island.

[CrazyCatkin]

This song gives me love for New York... And I'm English~ <3

[SherwoodofRobin]

hi @CrazyCatkin, yes it's a dead catchy tune...altogether now....."I love New York". I've only been once and I loved it too!

[70sman4ever]

I am looking fo this on a 45 can someone tell me where in NYC in one of those old record stores I can find this song?

[Merix96]

The Most Beautiful City Of The World ! I just wanna say : I LOVE NEW YORK guys ! =D

[Soulthinker2007]

That was the song I was searching during my visit in 1987. Thank you for bringing that song. Now where can I buy a CD of that song. I hope Albany had released it.

[SherwoodofRobin]

hi @Soulthinker2007 thanks for checking it out, I only have in on vinyl, I'll send you my youtube video if you want it, just send me your email adderess. Best Regards.

[silkmaskedkitten]

Thanks so much. This video has been embedded on classbrain's webpage about the New York state song. Nice job!

[SherwoodofRobin]

@silkmaskedkitten hi, glad you enjoyed the video, not bad for an Englishman I suppose! what's 'classbrain' by the way? sounds interesting..

[silkmaskedkitten]

@SherwoodofRobin We're an educational website that primarily provides materials for the school reports U.S. children have to in elementary school. This includes but is not limited to: State Reports, Country Reports, and Mission Reports.

I've handled the state symbols for quite some time and am working on a major overhaul of the state songs right now.

[lampmaster3000]

I thought New York's theme song was Frank Sinatra's New York New York song... wasn't it?

[pipkick]

i had no idea we had a state song!

[alberticojazz]

I love this song since i was a little boy,,, thx for sharing.

[mattforde1]

You can buy software online called "Tunebite." Google it and any video you watch on Youtube, you can use the "surf and catch" part of Tunebite software to download any audio MP3 of any video you watch. You can probably get free software too to get the mp3's, but not sure if I'd trust it. Tunebite also is used to convert Itune M4p file songs to more friendly MP3 versions.

[SherwoodofRobin]

@mattforde1 many thanks 4 the info.

[BRASILIAVERDE]

LEGAL !!!

[mythicalvideo]

Can I get an MP3 of this song?

[SherwoodofRobin]

I can send u this Y'Tube video via email if u want? Just send me yr email address.

[perulouis]

[SherwoodofRobin]

[elteabrian]
