There have been many songs written and performed by Staten Islanders, songs with Staten Island in the lyrics, and a few songs written about Staten Island itself.
Some of the most amazing songs about Staten Island have been created in recent years by Staten Island artist, performer, and guitar-maker David Lindeman, who lives in Dongan Hills.
