Check out Hov on the cover The Village Voice. Here’s Jay recalling hearing the Broadway melody which makes up “Empire State of Mind“…

“He [EMI publisher, "Big Jon" Platt] called me and said, ‘Man, I think I got this song and this idea for you,’ ” Jay recalls. “So he sent me the song on a Sunday. I walked in the house and played the song. I called him and said, ‘Send it now.’ He said, ‘Yeah, it’s in your e-mail.’ And I said, ‘No, send the Pro Tools now.’ As soon as I heard it, I knew what it was gonna do.”
