Dear Harry,
Do you mean “Somewhere Between Old and New York”?
Here 'tis on YouTube.

Wow, just the mention of this performance could get you thrown off the DJML.
Or, at least, a week in the naughty boy corner.
As with all these girlie singers, I was unable to understand a word she is singing.
A quick search for the lyrics didn't turn up anything.
Maybe, just as well.
Kind regards,
Mouldy Bill.
