I am a native New Yorker...I love this song. It brings back so many memories of what my life was like back in the 1960s when I was young, vibrant, and had the world on a string. The string broke, sadly, and life became something much different than I thought it would be. I guess this probably applies to all of us, and it's what we do with our circumstances that matters. I will always remember the New York City girl that I was with a great deal of fondness and a smile on my face. I thank God for the great memories I have...and I thank Him for all the blessings I have in my life today, as well.
God Bless You, You'r still A New York City Girl. Best Wishes From Scotland, I love New York. Visited many times while working on The QE2 Cruise-liner Back in the 80's and many times since.
@@RM-lj8bv ...Thank you so much and you're right...once a NYC girl, always a NYC girl. I love the Scots as much as I love the Irish, I believe we are interchangeable! BTW...I was never notified of your comment, otherwise I would have responded sooner.
Because it's bittersweet. It's about always yearning for something else, imagining something more exciting is just around the corner instead of living in the moment then suddenly you realise...life and the chances you were offered have passed you by because you were so dazzled that you weren't paying attention to what was in front of you. The vocalist (whom I thought at first was a man) is spot on with the emotions she conveys. It's deeply soulful, despite being a disco record, it straddles the two because if souls is about anything, it's about feeling. I know this song thanks to the film The Stud. Like any true classic work of art it is of it's time and speaks beyond it's time.
"Where Did All Those Yesterdays Go?" Life doesn't always turn out like we plan but it is great to go back to a simpler time (albeit in music) and remember all those times in my Native New York. The 70's and 80's Rock. Disco was King!!!

my mum loved this song, my was Jamaican born in England, and since her passing in December, the song has followed me to shops, on the local radio (not common to hear) and now this randomly popped up on TH-cam after watch a vlog... Little signs :) sending love to everyone listening!
"What you waiting for,...no one opens the door for a Native,... Native New Yorker." Love is song. It takes me back to a really great time in life. RIP - Uncle Andrew
How sad! There was a time people did open doors for others in NYC. In fact, I once had a construction worker jump out in the road to stop the traffic so I could cross the street. I guess he got tired of seeing me hop off the curb, only to hop back on it again because I chickened out. That was in the late 1960s before Women's Lib ruined chivalry. Pity. I did NOT like that movement!

En México una tienda de ropa usaba está canción para promocionar el muy visto y usado traje estilo Travolta y con un chico bailando al ritmo de esta canción. Cómo lo recuerdo tendría 10 años yo.
Born & raised in northern NJ right across the Hudson River river from NYC. I remember mornings getting ready for high school in late 77 when this song was a hit. Even though not technically a native New Yorker, when you grow up in close proximity to it, you totally get this song. And Odyssey nailed the vibe of the city! Special song for me. Where did all those yesterdays go! :-(
Shout out to my fellow native New Yorkers no matter where you live now. You can leave NYC but NYC never leaves you. Manhattan, the Bronx (hey), Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island.
Still a great classic song! This song was played on Good Times when Thelma was performing a dance! I still enjoy this song too everywhere all of the time! Long live this great song!
This was my disco song of all time!! In the club, I would dance my a** off to this!! Thank you Odyssy for this song!! Happy Heavenly Birthday Queen Louisa Lopez!!
This song is sometimes forgotten, because it was being played at the height of Saturday Night Fever popularity . This song just makes me feel so alive!😊😊😊😊😊

As a True Native New Yorker…someone who was born and raised in the 5 Boroughs…this song hits ALOT different…I can go anywhere in the world and NYC will be there with me 😊
Until today I hadn't heard this song since it was on the charts in early '78. I lived in NJ then and NYC radio stations naturally played the crap out of it. I live in SoCal now, and today I happened to turn on the radio while a rebroadcast of Casey Kasem's Weekly Top 40 show from 1/28/78 was playing. I was in the car long enough to hear most of the songs from #28 to somewhere in the top ten, and this was one of them (#26). Every song brought back a lot of memories of that cold a** winter. The Nor'easter of '78 was on Feb 6 - 7, just a little over a week after that Top 40 show aired and while this song was getting a lot of airplay.
This songs brings memory of growing in the Bronx with my family as a kids. For sure no one opens the door for a naive New Yorker we just push on through .. lol
This song has a profound meaning to me...I'm from WDC and when I got married, we had our honeymoon in New York...As I was crossing bridge entering Manhattan this song came to my mind...
I remember this song Native New Yorker by Odyssey I had their album and WBLS use to play this song all the time. I love this song as well. This song will never get old.
You don't have to be a Native New Yorker.....this song transports you to a Classy era when people dressed up to go out. It was an affair to remember, not ripped jeans and tennis shoes😂. I miss those days❤
My taught me how to do the hustle dance. off this song from Brooklyn ny I’m a native New Yorker yeah I learn that dance at 12 years old n I would tell my mom to play it over again n when she would start that record player omg dam I miss my mother so much 🥺😢😭
Absolutely, Miss Wendy brought me here with this song & return of the mack but, if you are an oldie but goodie, ain't no lacking with that because, you will always be bk to that great oldie but goodie! you know when hear an old school song, doesn't matter where you are, what you doing, you know we gonna stop dead in our tracks and say: oh snap, that's my jam!! LOL! I'm just saying! 👋👋👋 Thank you Miss Wendy from bringing us bk!
The last time I heard this song, like analog tape through an FM radio you actually have to pull/push the physical buttons on to auto tune to the station listened to it, was in a Camaro with no Limited Slip with an ass end practically hanging off the Williamsburg bridge in a snowstorm.... Good fuckin' times, thank YOU W-B-L-S!
Always loved this song, I can identify with the feelings even though I've never been anywhere near New York and even though "Native Colcestrian" somehow doesn't quite cut it...

It is
You can or you can't imagine. Make up your mind women
It feels good ❤
Being a Native New Yorker myself..when I’m someplace else you better believe that NYC is there TOO 😊
this was the anthem for house parties and block parties.
I'm not even American and this gives me a strange nostalgia that I can't explain x

New York girl, ooh, ooh, ooh
Runnin' pretty, New York City girl
Twenty-five, thirty-five
Hello baby, New York City girl
You grew up riding the subways running with people
Up in Harlem, down on Broadway
You're no tramp but you're no lady, talkin' that street talk
You're the heart and soul of New York City
And love, love is just a passing word
It's the thought you had in a taxi cab
That got left on the curb
When he dropped you off at East 83rd
Oh, oh, oh
(Oh, oh, oh)
You're a native New Yorker
You should know the score by now
(You should know by now)
You're a native New Yorker
New York girl, ooh, ooh, ooh
Music plays, everyone's dancing closer and closer
Making friends and finding lovers
There you are lost in the shadows searching for someone
(Searchin' for someone)
To set you free from New York City
And, whoa, where did all those yesterdays go
When you still believed
Love could really be like a Broadway show?
You are the star, win the applause
Oh, oh, oh
(Oh, oh, oh)
You're a native New Yorker
No one opens the door
For a native New Yorker
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Native, native, native New Yorker
Where did all those yesterdays go
When you still believed
Love could really be like a Broadway show?
You are the star
You're a native New Yorker
You should know the score by now
You're a native New Yorker
You should know the score
You should know the score by now
You're a native New Yorker, oh, oh, oh
(Native, native, native New Yorker)
You're a native New Yorker
Whoa, oh ho ho, you're a native New Yorker
You should know the score
(Native, native, native new Yorker)
You're a native New Yorker
What you waiting for, no one opens the door
(You're a native New Yorker)
For a native, for a native New Yorker
I always heard this line; You are the star, win the applause as, You are the star, when did it close
When he drops you off on East 33rd. Gee....😊😊😊😊 I'm going to Times Square.
