"Autumn in New York" is a
popular song composed by Vernon Duke in Westport, Connecticut in the summer of 1934. It was written without a commission or for a specific show, but 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.[1]
Many versions of the song have been recorded over the years by numerous musicians and singers. The only version to achieve chart success as a single in the US was that by
Buddy De Franco, Salvador Sobral, Al Haig, Diana Krall, and a duet version by Scottish singers Todd Gordon and Carol Kidd. The song was also recorded by Jo Stafford, and by Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald
as a duet.
