"Theme from New York, New York" (or "New York, New York") is the theme song from the Martin Scorsese film New York, New York (1977), composed by John Kander, with lyrics by Fred Ebb. It was written for and performed in the film by famed singer-actress Liza Minnelli, and has become identified as her signature song, which she also sang in the Olympic stadium during the 1984 Olympics, accompanied by 24 pianos and strobe lights.
