Oh, AND FRANK SINATRA IS THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN THE SING THE SONG "New York New York"

[a kennedy]

At the Belmont Stakes this past Saturday…..someone sang it, and I swear….IT JUST WASN’t the same……only Frank Sinatra can sing that song. Thank gawd at the NBA??? They did have the recording of Frank’s version…..

1. It's the exit music at Yankee Stadium. They occasionaly use the Liza Minelli version.

And Frank Sinatra's voice coach, the great baritone Robert Merrill, would sometimes sing the Star Spangled Banner at games.

2. i ran the local juke box route and the yankees were in the series

bar owner calls : i need new york new york on the juke box. i had the song and a cold beer sounded good so i went over and did the job. what i learned that night :

yankee stadium plays sinatra when the yankees win. minelli when they lose. yankee fans do not want to hear liza.

next time i brought sinatra.

3. When they win, Sinatra. When they lose, Liza.

... I recall someone once telling me....
