Hi! The true name is "Manhattan" and it's from a 1925 show called "Garrick's Gaieties" by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart. It's been sung by Ella Fitzgerald, Dinah Washington and Blossom Dearie, among others.

Wow...
About a thousand people. It was written by Richard Rogers and Lorenz (Larry) Hart.
First sung in Garrick's Gaities, if memory serves

I should know this one. I had a job once where that song was played at least once a day. It was one of my boss's favorites. Came off an album called "Columbia Hits of the 40s and 50s".
It's going to kill me until I remember the woman's name.
