The Upper West Side was a turbulent place in the 1980’s — vibrant and relatively inexpensive, but plagued by high crime. To Carly Simon, who lived in the neighborhood, it was a perfect setting for a very cheesy music video.
Much of the video for the song Why was filmed between 73rd and 75th Streets, and features locals dancing and singing along. It was unearthed by Gothamist. Check it out below, and let us know if you see anyone you know!
Wow, that song was painful. Love Carly though!
