New York City Lyrics

Cover art for New York City lyrics by Norah Jones

The song writer listed here, Winnifred "Blue" Lovett, was a successful black Soul/R&B singer in the 70s and 80s, now dead. These lyrics just don\'t seem like they come from that era.\n\nI read elsewhere that Bob Dylan wrote the lyrics, but that doesn\'t sound right either!\n\nCan anyone shed light on this?
