#Chuck Schumer joins street performers to sing ‘New York, New York’

#Chuck Schumer joins street performers to sing ‘New York, New York’

US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer showed he could carry a tune over the weekend — although he may not have a recording contract lined up just yet.

The Big Apple Democrat joined a band performing on the sidewalk in Park Slope, Brooklyn, on Saturday night to sing the Frank Sinatra classic “New York, New York” and Billy Joel’s “Piano Man,” according to footage of the impromptu gig posted to Twitter.

Schumer, who lives in the neighborhood when he’s not in DC, was then out and about in the area Sunday and tweeted, “And look who I just ran into in Prospect Park: The same band I was singing with last night!

“Alice Valentine was performing today with the dance group, Solo. They’re great!” the 70-year-old senator wrote.

The performance came days after the state further eased its mask and capacity restrictions on businesses.

The Gotham pol didn’t exactly have Sinatra-level presence when he took his musical star-turn on Fifth Avenue, but at least he was mostly on key.

“I dig it,” former NBA player Rex Chapman wrote on Twitter of Schumer’s impromptu singing.

Another user wrote, “This is actually not bad, who would’ve thought Schumer could actually carry a tune a little.”

Other Twitter users were less enthusiastic.

“Don’t give up your day job,” someone tweeted.
