This is a cool song by a well known pop group and I've been intrigued by it for a while. Released in (December) 1973, it invokes the gritty street tragedies of the New York of the early 1970's. Here are two live versions of the song, the first from 1973 (Hamburg) and the second from 1975 (Los Angeles).
