One of the great songs and great vocal performances for me....

[mickd1961]

Sung with such passion abs brilliance and describes the city so well.

My spine tingles every time I listen to it.

Sorry but not for me. It’s good, don’t get me wrong, it’s just not my cup of tea. For female singers, Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt, Sheryl Crow, Christine McVie and many others, all way better. Music is a personal thing, though, it’s a good job that we don’t all have the same taste!

I never rated Chrissie McVie's voice Kets, quite weak in my opinion and not fit to lace the boots of Stevie Nicks.

Don't get me wrong, the latter 70's Fleetwood Mac was always better with her involved though.

For me, Alicia Keys singing "Empire....State Of Mind" is just superb and brings New York back to life for me after my one and only visit there.
