manhattan tower

new york city can be a fairy tale town. if you roll in with the right attitude of awe and wonder, and are ready to dance to the beat of the city, it can take you on a wonderful journey. at least that's what happens in songs and movies.
personally, having only been there twice, and both times in a whirlwind, i can attest to the magic that is new york. though i did get to see some of the gritty reality of city life on steroids as well. and gritty city life may sell dime store novels but it don't make people fall in love. and that is exactly what this record is about.
from 1956 capitol records this is "gordon jenkins - manhattan tower" about this time there were a whole slew of these kind of stories. boy (or girl) comes to the big city from somewhere - middle america usually, and is transported into the magical world of big city life. lovers meet by chance, are swept up into a romance against the backdrop of the sights and sounds of new york city.
i'm not sure quite how to classify this one. it's a kind of combination of popular love song with a storyline narration thrown in. very cool as an evening imbibement alone or with that special someone. definitely not for everyone, but if you are a lover and you love the nyc, you just might find a place to party in the tower. to join the manhattan tower cocktail party just click your mouse here.
