Autumn in New York
By Frank Sinatra
Autumn in New York
Why does it seem so inviting?
Autumn in New York
It spells the thrill of first-knighting.
Glittering crowds and shimmering clouds
In canyons of steel,
They're making me feel
I'm home.
It's autumn in New York
That brings the promise of new love.
Autumn in New York
Is often mingled with pain.
Dreamers with empty hands
May sigh for exotic lands.
It's autumn in New York,
It's good to live it again.
Lovers that bless the dark
On benches in Central Park.
It's autumn in New York,
It's good to live it again.
[Note: I cannot find any punctuation for the lyrics,
so, I've added them myself]
Below is Peter Mintun singing Autumn in New York with the piano accompanying. The song is from the Veron Duke's Broadway musical Thumbs Up!.
I cannot find the original performer in the musical, J. Harold Murray, singing Autumn in New York, but below is probably an original 1923 recording (I wish Youtube posters would give us precise information - dates, recordings, performers, etc!) of him singing Faded Love Letters. This gives us an idea of his voice and his style. Of course, very different from Frank Sinatra.
Below is Charlie Parkers saxophone version:
And Sarah Vaughn's vocal version:
And Chet Baker on his trumpet:
