Vancouver's Barry Greenfield has been likened to Canada's Cat Stevens.

His first album, 'Blue Sky', was recorded at RCA Studios' legendary Studio B and was the first production of a young, up and coming engineer, David Kershenbaum (who later went on to produce Tracy Chapman, Joe Jackson amongst others).

In 1972 he wrote, sang and recorded "New York Is Closed Tonight". This became the first of three # 1 singles for Greenfield in a brief 18-month period. The song won 1972 'Certificate of Honour for Canadian Music', and was the most played song on Canadian radio in 1972. "Canada Sky" and "Sweet America" followed.

"New York Is Closed Tonight" was updated after the tragic events of 9/11 and was renamed "Tuesday Morning" for Greenfield's most recent album 'Greenfield 3'.
