Written by New Yorkers, produced and arranged at the legendary Atlantic Studios, and sung for the most part by New Yorkers.
I firmly believe that you had to have grown up in a big city such as New York to truly get the real meaning of this song, however the enjoyment of this recording can be felt by anyone who needs that relief at the end of the day.
It was an awesome record and one of The Drifters Biggest Hits!

@jmarrvin Yeah me too! When I used to work at Burger King I was the closing cashier and all the guys would play the rap that was on the jukebox. I would play this song EVERY NIGHT!!! I make music and this song is so special to me that I won't sample it because some songs shouldn't be sampled!

Please credit the songwriters, Carole King (composer) and Gerry Goffin (lyric).

BIG BIG TUNE!

@jmarrvin If more hardcore rap fanatics would listen to this kind of music you guys would find so much more material. The only reason that new rap developed is because groups started sampling older tunes. I wish that sampling would make a comeback.

This song takes me back to my Navy days in Okinawa, 1962, All my buddies and my
youth. We worked and played hard and at night we'd go into the clubs where we heard
all the great tunes from the States. Funny how music can take you back. Thanks for
the memories and the post.
