Still Dancing in NY City

"Theme from New York, New York" is the theme song from the Martin Scorsese film New York, New York (1977), composed by John Kander, with lyrics by Fred Ebb.

The song was written for and performed in the film by Liza Minnelli, and has become identified as her signature song, which she also sang in the Olympic stadium during the 1984 Summer Olympics, accompanied by 24 pianos and strobe lights.

The song concludes with the line If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere, It's up to you, New York, New York.


The song is also played a few seconds after the ball drop in Times Square every New Year's, after Auld Lang Syne. The rock band Phish performed the song as part of their 1997 New Year's Eve celebration at Madison Square Garden.

Luciano Pavarotti Cavaliere di Gran Croce OMRI (12 October 1935 6 September 2007) was an Italian opera tenor, who crossed over into popular music and became one of the world's most famous vocal performers. He was one of "The Three Tenors" and became well known for his televised concerts and media appearances. Pavarotti was also noted for his charity work benefiting refugees, the Red Cross and other causes.

Dancing is cool and the dancing hall is also cool... in this song; Pavarotti over takes Minnelli by a long shot!!

Bravo - sad he died already!

Liza has a damn horsey voice at the end of the song, but I like Pavarotti and the video is cool! :-)

Pavarotti is so adorable and CUTE when he says, /"These little town blues, are melting away"// it make the whole NY City song come to reality, since it's the town that has the most accents in the entire world because of the numerous cultures living there... and btw; loveably dance by all means...
