Happy birthday to Barry Mann, who wrote this song with his partner Cynthia Weil. His list of hit songs, with both Weil and other collaborators, is long in at least two ways: there are a lot of them, and they were written over a long period of time. "On Broadway" was one of the earliest, and has been covered by many artists. But the original version by the Drifters may catch the mood of hope mixed with uncertainty the best.
