What is this song?

I have a song on cassette tape from WBLS Radio (New York) recorded circa 1977.

It’s a souljazz song, male vocalist.

I can only remember parts of the lyrics. Can you identify the song and artist? I would love to buy this record. Thanks in advance!

Here’s the lyrics I remember:

…the street sounds, the sounds of New York City…

People moving much too fast they won’t slow down, won’t slow down yah yah…

Broadway, your lights make night time day and but it’s so stay away and find a friend in New York City.

New York, New York, New Yooork. New York, New York, New Yooork..

Answer #1

Its not this one is it by any chance?

Listen to the sound of the city, listen to the sound of the town New York is the city of cities, New York is still wearing the crown Listen to the sound of the city, listen to the people I love Everyone is speaking your language, New York speaks in your native tongue

New York (New York) - we’re skatin’ down Broadway At midnight or midday - we do our own thing New York (New York) - a city with gusto New York is a big show - it’s what’s happening

Listen to the sound of the city, listen to the cars on the street New York is the fans of the Yankees, New York is a cop on the beat Listen to the sound of the city, listen to the steeple bells chime New York is a city of magic, New York is a hip state of mind

New York (New York) - the city of night life The city of bright lights - we’re doin’ our part New York (New York) - the city of fashion The city of passion - this town has a heart

Listen to the sound of the city, New York is the pulse of the world New York is the mecca that’s Broadway, New York is the style on the girl Listen to the sound of the city, listen to the sound of my town You can take a ride on the tramway, hold your breath while your comin’ down

New York (New York), perpetual motion From ocean to ocean - there’s nothing compares New York (New York) - the parks and the playgrounds New York is the sweet sound - of children at play

Listen to the sound of the city, New York after dark is alive Uptown in the Bronx or in Harlem, New York is a city with pride Listen to the sound of the city, New York is both future and past New York is the city of music, New York is the city with class

Listen to the sound of the city, Listen to the sound of the town New York is the city of cities, New York is still wearing the crown Listen to the sound of the city, listen to the people I love Everyone is speaking your language, New York speaks in your native tongue
