More songs have been written about Americas biggest city, New York, than about any other city. Many others dream about leaving their small towns to go there. They want to become rich and famous. Frank Sinatra sings about this dream in the most popular song written about New York.  Almost three-million people live in the middle western city of Chicago, Illinois. It is now Americas third largest city. It used to be the second largest city. So, of course, it needed its own song. Judy Garland sings the song, Chicago, Chicago. One of Americas most exciting cities is Las Vegas, Nevada. In nineteen-sixty-four, Elvis Presley starred in a movie called Viva Las Vegas. Here is the song from that movie. It is sung by the group Z-Z Top. As we all know, one of the most beautiful cities in America is San Francisco, California. The most popular song about the city is called I Left My Heart in San Francisco. Tony Bennett recorded it in nineteen-sixty-two. It sold more than three-million records. Many people love Los Angeles, California. It is now Americas second largest city. Los Angeles is popular because the weather is warm and the sun shines almost all the time. Randy Newman sings about his feelings for the city in the song, I Love L.A. Not everyone, however, loves Los Angeles. Some people do not like all the big roads around the city. They like living in a smaller place. A place like San Jose, California. Dionne Warwick sings about going back to this city. The song is, Do You Know The Way To San Jose.
