I had the opportunity to see his group in person in Philadelphia in the 1980s! AWE-SOME! Unbelievably fantastic. One of my fondest memories!!!!

hey guys i remember the first time i downloaded this album from amazon man this song is a blast to hear all the way through. i thoroughly enjoyed it.!!!

Serge Gainsbourg, a french singer and composer has totally copyed this song melody in the sixties. The french title was : J'ai vu New-York. He didn't, of course, credit Baba Olatunji as composer !!! What a shame.

@MrDJdo This is not "inspiration" ! Gainsbourg has copied Olatunji's Akiwowo. I've compared the two songs, I've had the feeling that I had heard 2 times the same song. Akiwowo : 1959. New York USA : 1964.

The inspiration for the Serge Gainsbourg song New York USA
