The Sidewalks of New York is a NYC history documentary created by Jordan Liles. It begins with the tale of the famous tune and builds every moment toward the fascinating story behind Governor Al Smith, a key historical figure in American history. The elections of 1924 and 1928 are featured prominently in the story's second half, and along the way a handful of songs from the same time period are played to portray that, while this film is somewhat about the tune 'The Sidewalks of New York', the other songs do their part to lift up and bring the story home, all joining together to complete one of the most inspiring tales in New York history.
This documentary was originally released in 2016. This upload is a new version with the audio fixed. A previous upload that received 150,000 views had the audio levels of the music slightly too high, making it sometimes difficult to hear the narrator's voice. The previous video has been unlisted, but its comments are still available here: • New York Documentary: ... .
As far as corrections and updates go, Joshua Beal (not Joseph) is the proper credit for the panoramic photograph, Angel Guastaferro performed Pretty Jennie Slattery on piano, Al Smith's wife Catherine (known as Katie) died several months before Al did (not just one week), and William Wordsworth originally coined the "Happy Warrior" words.
I hope all of you enjoy The Sidewalks of New York and Al Smith's life story. I believe there is something spectacular about New York history that has yet to be featured properly in big-budget Hollywood movies. Maybe one day they'll notice NYC has more to offer.
