Free Music Notes for New York, New York (1977 Film)
Free Music Review: Liza's in fine form
Hit: 5 Stars
Liza was in fine form for this 1977 film. Everything was top notch, although the film was less enthusiastically received than everyone hoped. That said, Liza was in good voice, toning herself down and really being true to the period. The instrumentals (with Georgie Auld on sax) were excellent and the other singers -- Diahann Abbott, the then Mrs. DeNiro, in a solid turn on "Honeysuckle Rose" and Mary Kay Place as a band singer hired to replace Liza when her character split from DeNiro's -- are both spot-on and winning.
The original album had great artwork that's sadly omitted from the CD, but that's the way that goes.
And, yes, Liza's version of NY, NY stands out as the definitive version. I'm a big Sinatra fan, too, but Liza owns that piece of musical real estate.
Free Music Review: The Big Band Sound,and Liza.
Hit: 5 Stars
I love this type of Music.The Big Band Sound,and Liza Minnelli.Kids were jamming to"Opus Number One"back then, like they are dancing to "Livin La Vida Loca"today.I love Frank Sinatra's voice,but when I think of "NewYork,NewYork," its Liza's version that blows me away. One song you can't believe is from Liza is "There goes the ball Game." The voice sounds nothing like her. If only this movie was a hit,the soundtrack would be right up there with "Saturday Night Fever"and "Grease."Free Music Review: Brilliant soundtrack with Liza at full throttle
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a great soundtrack from a one-of-a-kind movie musical. Splendid big-band numbers segue into pure show-biz heaven as Liza knocks Kander and Ebb classics right out of the park. Bullseye!Free Music Review: New York, New York
