For me, this is the ultimate British Invasion song - more so than anything the Beatles or Stones or anyone else ever did. I hear this and immediately I'm transported back to Swinging London, with the music and clubs and fashion on Carnaby Street and Austin Powers...wait!! Written by Petula's manager/producer Tony Hatch after a trip to New York, and actually represented an outsider's view of NYC. A song as iconic of the 60's as it gets.
