As a native New Yorker born in 1955 and still is living in Manhattan in 2023, this was one of my favorite songs from back in 1977. Many of my neighbors, relatives, and friends have since passed away. I wish I could go back into time when Disco music was popular and not the RAP garbage we here today. I love New York City because its the greatest city on the planet. I will be buried in Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx, New York when God Almighty calls me to glory. 🙏🙏🙏

Amen to that, New York is special and those were special times 👍 and let us not forget Mr and Mrs Kotter, Vinnie the Italian Stallion Barbarino, Freddy Boom Boom Washington, The Puerto Rican Jew Juan Epstein, little and gentle Arnold Horshack and my favorite Mr Woodman, our beloved Sweathogs. For those that have passed away may they rest in peace in the presence of Almighty God in Jesus name ✝️🙏🏻🇺🇸

"You're a native New Yorker, you should know the score by now" -Odyssey. I grew up in this era also, but I'm a Chicagoan, this was a hot R&B song back in the day. Not a "Mega Hit", but just a great song. Never been to New York, but the song has always put a picture in my mind of the New York vibe. Where did the times go?

PUERTO RICAN HERITAGE: These female singers, Louise (named Emma) and Lilliam (named Carmelita), were the granddaughters of Pedro Lopez, a White PUERTO RICAN, born in 1860, that emigrated in 1898, after the Spanish American War, to the then Danish West Indies island of Saint Thomas to work as a sugar cane planter and cutter. In 1922, a few years after the United States purchased these islands (Saint Thomas, Saint John and Saint Croix) from Denmark in 1917, Pedro who had widowed from his Black Saint Thomasian wife, moved with his only son Cyril Leonard Lopez to the city of New York, where he took the humble job of janitor of the apartment building at #54 100th St. East NY, a neighborhood then prominently Puerto Rican (East Harlem, best known as El Barrio). After his father died in New York, Cyril, born in 1904, was 27 when he married his Black American wife Lilliam from Pennsylvania. They kept living in the same apartment #11 of the same address, where he continued the work of his father as cleaner and kind of a handy man. They had two wonderful and musically talented daughters, born respectively in 1933 and 1935, Emma and Carmelita (a typical Puerto Rican nickname), names artistically changed (and later legally) to Louise and Lilliam. Mr. Cyril Lopez retired in the 1980's and returned to his native Saint Thomas and died there in 1996 at the age 92. The rest is history...

I'm a native New Yorker extremely (some would say fanatically) proud of being born in that wonderful city. Born in the Bronx, and as an adult, I lived for 10 years in the 80s on the Upper West Side, one block away from Central Park. Those were glorious years. And, although I live in Southern California now, and because I'm a gentleman, I bite my tongue when I hear anyone praising Los Angeles.
