Battle for New York City’s True Anthem

Two BIG musical legends,one BIG CITY, MSG asks: Who sang New York City’s true anthem better? Frank Sinatra and Jay-Z both have recorded sensational hits declaring their love for the city that never sleeps. Sinatra’s 1980’s hit, "New York, New York" still lives in on people’s hearts today while Jay-Z’s catchy hip-hop tune, "Empire State of Mind," has become the anthem for all celebrated NY sport victories. Jay-Z claims he’s "the new Sinatra" in the hit song also, but does the Hoboken-native Frankie still hold the title for the city’s anthem. YOU DECIDE who the king of NY is here:

Be sure to tune-in on TODAY, Friday, December 4th @ 10:30PM when MSG airs two iconic performances. Leading off is Jay-Z’s Answer the Call September 11th performance, followed at 11:30 p.m. by Frank Sinatra: The Main Event, a concert which originally aired live Oct. 13, 1974.
