You had to understand the times. Released in 1977 after near-NYC Bankruptcy, the Burning of the South Bronx, Rioting and Looting of the 1977 Blackout - New York's reputation was in tatters. The I Love New York campaign sought to revive our image of all things that we have in New York. Broadway was featured as were other parts of the State. Attractive NY then saw rebuilding of the City and return of visitors and vacationers.
Thanks a lot,for telling us the story,about this so fabulous song!!!.Certainly,I`m not a Native New Yorker, but I did fell in Love with this so Unique & so fantastic City,since the very first time I visited it!!.Same way, I was living there for many years,& always found N.Y.C.,so cool,interesting & exciting!!!.Now,I`m currently living abroad,but as a Business Man,I hope going back "To Home",as soon as possible,to establish a new Company there,and of course,to enjoy all those so wonderful things I miss so,but so much!!!..Because I still........, "I Love New York"!!!!,........"I Love New York"!!!!.. Greetings!! :-) !!!.
I do love new york. its my home state, it’s diverse, it’s got so many historic sites, it’s got so much natural beauty, and I wouldn’t wanna live in any other state. THERE IS MORE TO IT THAN THE CITY (although i do love the city as well)
In the late 1970s to the early 1980s this was all over the radio/TV if you lived in the tristate area. I was way out on Long Island in the middle of nowhere (I miss that. these days it's almost as bad a queens out here) and I heard it all of the time.
This was a GREAT AD! You have no idea...🤨! The shit going on at that time in NYC...this one is the State ad...not the one I saw in 77. The Manhattan ad was the most popular.
As someone who lives in NYC we don’t talk about or see the rest of the state often. This is a beautiful reminder everything all of New York has to offer
I remember this from the tourism commercials in the early 80s, which now that I think about it, was kind of weird because they were showing the commercials on WPIX to people who already lived in New York.
Lol I grew up in New Jersey exit 12 on the turnpike 15 miles from Manhattan near Newark Airport. That's very true I remember seeing the commercials on channel 11. I never thought about it like that. We always went to NYC to visit family
I'm from Upstate NY, honestly this song is only fit for the Big City lol it's upbeat and bright. We country people would sound different In my opinion lol
SkullDogTim Don't worry, it doesn't even fit the REAL big city but since it was probably created after the late 60's it's not really a surprise its trash, it looks more like a joke but unfortunately, it isn't.
It’s like other people don’t understand the rest of us Upstate New Yorkers! Syracuse would be better if they had a railroad museum in my opinion! And also they should try the NY State Fair!
NYC is crime-ridden and living in the 5 boroughs requires a 1%er's revenue. Just taking the subway could be a one-way-ticket _not_ to your initial destination but to the morgue or ho$pital. Of course for mayor Adams, it's "exaggerrated".
Hell yeah! What a groovalicious song for the most fabulous state in America! There's so much fighting on the comments here between nyc'ers and upstaters, ya being soooo bitter for no reason. Upstate is so vast and each part of it is steeped in so much beauty and history; same with the city. As a gal from the city I can say I love it just as much as I love upstate
We're one of the 13 colonies, We are the cultural center of the world, filled with playwrights and composers. We have a wonderful country side with filled with country folk. And this is the fucking state anthem, a disco with a total of 5 words written on madison ave. Can't you rearrange Rhapsody in Blue or something? Shitty song amazing state, Hudson Valley here. I
The song was heard frequently on WABC Radio among others, as well as TV stations that could reach as far as the Lehigh Valley so they hoped to attract visitors from out of state. My mates and I used to go and watch the Yankees in the old stadium, so it must have worked LOL!
@@itsathing3369 I swear why do people even use the Confederate flag which literally stands for Slavery. This is like me as a Dutch waving the colonial Dutch flag with the WIC or VOC symbol on it.

I think during the second half of the 1978 season, the Yankees used this song when they took the field.
They need to bring it back to increase post-pandemic visits.

I laughed so loud when I heard that "this is so exciting".
Same here.
sounds like a 70s song
I believe this song is made in 1977
beacause it is
This song was made in 1977
It is

And this is why I believe there's more to New York than just the city.
of course.
As a fellow Syracuse boi I’m happy!
Ayy! Syracuse ftw!
I think It too
I think I saw Long Island at the horizon once.
WTF? Our state song is disco?
Disco is dead and so is NY State.
Tim Gallotta education is though
plus it smells like truck exhaust... you wont have to blame it on nj anymore
This is not disco. Uptempo pop, yes. Disco, no.
Now THIS here is DISCO....

Oh my dear God. I had no idea until just now this was the official state song for New York State. Boy, has it been a while since I've heard this one!
This song has some fond memories of the late 1970s when I was a teenager. Terrific anthem!
I think this song is SO amazing that it's been stuck in my head for days. I think it's a great song!
It's a good song.

Same. Born in NY, spent my first 5 years in PA, been in NY ever since. Love the state.
Ditto. I have lived here most of my life. Born in New England, grew up in the Hudson Valley, and now I live in NYC.
Likewise. I can't think of living in like Florida or something, and new yorkers are known to ditch their place for florida.
Yeah there is so much more than just the city

Hahaha...I was listening to all these state songs, then I run into this. Nice New York.
This sounds like a song from some bad advert
Dylan HopkinsKelly it's made in the 70s duhhhh
This song was made in 1977 to promote tourists to come to NYC
Like the *SPIRIT OF MASSACHUSETTS*
This was a GREAT AD! You have no idea...🤨! The shit going on at that time in NYC...this one is the State ad...not the one I saw in 77. The Manhattan ad was the most popular.
Really matches the capitalism and commercialism vibe it's going for. How exciting.
As someone who lives in NYC we don’t talk about or see the rest of the state often. This is a beautiful reminder everything all of New York has to offer
Yeah, I live in Binghamton, and upstate feels like a completely different state from NYC and Long Island.
I grew up in Buffalo, and I Loved the song. (The video should show a bit more cities, Rochester, Syracuse , Buffalo) Cheers.

Nope.
The scenery of my state makes it more lively! Thanks for posting my state anthem! I'm from New York, and it is beautiful. Excelsior.
Now that you mention it, this song is extremely well done. The music and the singers are one.
Coming from a New Yorker, this does have a New York vibe to it.
Yes. As a different New Yorker, I agree.
Here I come from Kansas with our state song "home on the range" and I humbly ask to change my home state. Also that sax though..
