The "Theme from New York, New York" has become synonymous with Frank Sinatra. Sinatra recorded his version in 1979, and it was released as a single in 1980, when it peaked at #32 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Sinatra could give a song oomph like no other - just check out how he makes the word "and" sound like the most important word in the English language.
True classic tune, this one.

It's a cover for Sinatra. He sort of left Liza in the dust.

Which is unfortunate, because her version is really good.

@JohnRoberts - When I was younger. I am more familiar with her version of the song.

It's good for festive occasions such as New Year's Eve, even though it has nothing to do with such things.

@teamfreak16 I can never think of Frank without Dean Martin and being barely sober!

I do like the Liza Minelli version from the movie too
New York, New York by Liza Minnelli [1977]

Oh, yes, Liza did an amazing job on it, too.

I love him as a singer, but also his hard-partying loyalty to Dino and Sammy.
