Wendy might have brought me here- but the original absolutely hits!✨✨

I am a native New Yorker...I love this song. It brings back so many memories of what my life was like back in the 1960s when I was young, vibrant, and had the world on a string. The string broke, sadly, and life became something much different than I thought it would be. I guess this probably applies to all of us, and it's what we do with our circumstances that matters. I will always remember the New York City girl that I was with a great deal of fondness and a smile on my face. I thank God for the great memories I have...and I thank Him for all the blessings I have in my life today, as well.

Because it's bittersweet. It's about always yearning for something else, imagining something more exciting is just around the corner instead of living in the moment then suddenly you realise...life and the chances you were offered have passed you by because you were so dazzled that you weren't paying attention to what was in front of you. The vocalist (whom I thought at first was a man) is spot on with the emotions she conveys. It's deeply soulful, despite being a disco record, it straddles the two because if souls is about anything, it's about feeling. I know this song thanks to the film The Stud. Like any true classic work of art it is of it's time and speaks beyond it's time.

How sad! There was a time people did open doors for others in NYC. In fact, I once had a construction worker jump out in the road to stop the traffic so I could cross the street. I guess he got tired of seeing me hop off the curb, only to hop back on it again because I chickened out. That was in the late 1960s before Women's Lib ruined chivalry. Pity. I did NOT like that movement!

I love this song.

Until today I hadn't heard this song since it was on the charts in early '78. I lived in NJ then and NYC radio stations naturally played the crap out of it. I live in SoCal now, and today I happened to turn on the radio while a rebroadcast of Casey Kasem's Weekly Top 40 show from 1/28/78 was playing. I was in the car long enough to hear most of the songs from #28 to somewhere in the top ten, and this was one of them (#26). Every song brought back a lot of memories of that cold a** winter. The Nor'easter of '78 was on Feb 6 - 7, just a little over a week after that Top 40 show aired and while this song was getting a lot of airplay.

My mothers jam. In California letting us know nothing can touch New York City.

My late Mother grew up in the Bronx in the 40’s, 50’s & 60’s, also worked in Manhattan. then moved to SFla in the 70’s. This was her song that made her feel like she was back home, walking through the city, riding the subways & talking smack with her sister & friends. This will always bring me back to being a little girl, watching my mom smile, dance & sing to this.

That intro makes it all worth while.

This LP seen me through my hardest/darkest time.

The drumming is tight.

I live in London and get such a good vibe from this song !

What a GREAT band and what a GREAT song!!! I've been a fan of Odyssey's since I heard this song in 1977 while in college.

Always loved this song, I can identify with the feelings even though I've never been anywhere near New York and even though "Native Colcestrian" somehow doesn't quite cut it...

The production team on this were brilliant. Superb melody, arrangement and vocal performance, by Odyssey. I’ve only just discovered that the sax solo was by the jazz virtuoso Michael Brecker. I always thought it was a bit superior.
