A portrait in words and music by DAVID MORGAN REES
What is the essence of one of the world's most exciting cities, with its skyscrapers of steel and glass, its crowded wealth and poverty, its bustle and violence, its polyglot citizens? David Morgan Rees talked to New Yorkers about their city and their lives. This portrait, backed by some of the famous songs about New York, attempts to capture the magic of a community of eight million people. Produced by DAVID BEVAN Broadcast on January 14 in the Welsh Home Service
