"They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway...."
One of the great songs about New York.

Voted The Drifters but I'll own up to also liking the George Benson version a lot too.

Just to be contrary, I voted for Gary Numan. "I can play this here guitar..." Gary, there's not a guitar within a hundred miles of your recording!

Tough call, but I had to go with George Benson.

I'm not exactly sure what I did, but Eric Carmen was initially on my list.

George Benson rules! A no-brainer.

In reality I agree with John, but I had to cast my vote for Gary. He did a great job of adapting the song to his style (which is far more than I can say for his embarrassing rendition of Prince's "1999"...ugh!), and I love the synth outro.

Is there an option to vote for " The Clash - On Broadway" ?   Seriously, when I hear the title "On Broadway" I think of George Benson right off the bat, so my vote would have to go to him

I'm not a huge fan of Neil's version either, but I really don't like any of the others!
