 Fred Ebb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ebb was born in Manhattan to a Jewish family and graduated from New York University with a bachelor’s degree in English literature in 1955.
Another song Ebb wrote with Springer was “Heartbroken”, which was recorded by Judy Garland, the mother of his future protégée, Liza Minnelli.
The team also had two works produced outside of New York: The Skin of Our Teeth (also known as Over and Over) was an adaptation of the Thornton Wilder play and The Visit, which played a successful run in Chicago, starring Chita Rivera.

 The DVD Journal | Quick Reviews: New York, New York
Sadly, while the visual splendor of New York, New York can be bracing, the narrative is a complete disaster (the script is credited to Earl Mac Rauch and Mardik Martin), and De Niro compounds the problematic scenario with an intensely threatening performance that overshadows all else.
New York, New York goes on for 164 minutes (including the full "Happy Endings" sequence left out of the first two released cuts) and is salvaged only by its opulent visuals and its fine music, which mixes standards with original songs by John Kander and Fred Ebb.
New York, New York gets fine treatment on this DVD from MGM, with the feature presented in an attractive anamorphic transfer (1.66:1) and the choice of the original 1.0 mono audio mix or a Dolby Digital 5.1 re-mix.

 Gangs of New York (2002)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Whatever the reason, the core of the film turns out to be the weakest element of `Gangs of New York.' Moreover, the dialogue is utterly banal and uninspired, consisting mainly of syrupy platitudes and half-baked philosophizing.
It is his way of saying that, from such squalid beginnings, New York City has grown into the great cultural center that it is today and that it can be proud of its heritage and the people who helped make it.
Yes, `Gangs of New York' is a severely flawed film in a lot of ways, but it is also a work of vision and of almost unparalleled technical accomplishment that deserves to be seen.

 New York Song Triangle
Since then, with a mutual love of down and dirty riffs and bitingly honest lyrics, the three have shared many a stage throughout New York, as well as a true respect and admiration for each other's tunes.
So, in an uptown saloon in mid 2004, with pints of Guinness in hand, they conceived the idea for the Song Triangle, an in-the-round concept with an open, trio feeling.
With 3 acoustic guitars, and trading off on lead vocal duty, the Triangle's diverse repertoire of individual and collaborative originals is tied together by the distinctive personal touches of Beasley's flamenco infused lead guitar, Allen's upside-down/5-stringed tuning, and Germak's wailing blues harmonica.

Martin Scorsese took a daring turn from the mean streets that made his reputation in the early '70s with New York, New York, his homage to the big-band era.
As a story, NEW YORK, NEW YORK draws from a number of oddly "Noir-ish" musicals made at Warner Bros. in the late 1940s.
Most particularly, according to Scorsese's commentary, it drew from MY DREAM IS YOURS, a film that not only starred Doris Day but actually reflected her life in its tale of a talented big band "girl singer" trapped in an abusive marriage with a musician.
