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. It was
written for and performed in the film by Liza Minnelli. It was suggested
to him by Howard Huntridge, an English Television producer, during a
meeting at Caesars Palace Las Vegas in 1977. The song has been embraced
as a celebration of New York City, and is popular particularly at public
social events in the city, lending it a quasi-status as the city's
anthem. In 1979, it was recorded by Frank Sinatra, for his album Trilogy: Past Present Future
(1980), and has since become closely associated with him. He
occasionally performed it live with Minnelli as a duet. Sinatra recorded
it a second time in duet with Tony Bennett for his 1993 album Duets.
