Many versions of the song have been recorded over the years by numerous musicians and singers. From Billy Holiday to Frank Sinatra, we can’t get enough of the warm and magical sound this song brings!
Did you know… ‘Autumn in New York’ was written without a commission or for a specific show, but Vernon Duke offered it to producer Murray Anderson for his Broadway musical Thumbs Up!. The play opened on December 27, 1934 where the song was performed by singer J. Harold Murray
