We’re 4 New York – Julie Gold

by NYBroadwayTours | Jun 4, 2021 | Blog, Broadway

Over the years, our Theater scene has continued to share their love and appreciation for THE CITY THAT NEVER SLEEPS with various songs about NYC. One of our personal favorites was a jingle promotion the channel WNBC on Channel 4. It’s entitled WE’RE 4 NEW YORK written by Julie Gold. It featured lead vocals by Tony Award nominee Andrea McArdle (Broadway’s original Annie) along with Curtis King and The Boys Choir Of Harlem.

The commercial featured a montage in New York City life as we all know it….. NBC style. New editions of the commercial were filmed every year.

Who remembers this jingle?!!!
