" The Boy from New York City " is a song originally recorded by the American soul group The Ad Libs , released in 1964 as their first single. Produced by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller , the song peaked at No. 8 on the US Billboard Hot 100 on the chart week of February 27, 1965. Though the group continued to record other singles, they never repeated the chart success of "The Boy from New York City".

The first session was to lay down the rhythm section, then the next session was for the lead and backup vocals, with the last session was just for the horns.
