Billy Joel is a legend. Just look at his full body of work. I like all kinds of music from classical to many in the 60s, Emerson Lake and Palmer hardcore prog, Queen, Heart, Fleetwood Mac, Swing, Louie Armstrong and more. But I have no love of any music today that isn't from the 70s bands.
@TheColdWeatherPilots dude that was my personal preference that's what i think 60-90's were the best, Sure i love bands and songs now but nothing compares to back then, so don''t get butt hurt...
I lived on Cooper Avenue in Glendale Queens We lived by a train tressell the stairway leading to the crossover had an echo and my older brother and his friends used to sing like Billy just did with his mates. I remember Jimmy singing with his mates just like that. I am Billy Joel.
Please take the crap off the radio, and put stuff like this one NOW...and when I say crap I mean it in the fullest more purest form of the word. Like JUSTIN BEIBER, LIL WAYNE, DRAKE, KE$HA, LADY GAGA, LMFAO, ...I'm only 21 and I'm sick of the shit. Sorry for the foul language, but it just shows my emotion...
@TexasMade20 its an old doo wop song from the early 1960s. Not sure who had the hit with it, there were so many groups singing in this style then. Originated with groups harmonizing live on street corners , days when you made your own entertainment! Great isn't it, billy knows his stuff
Sounds a 1000 times better live. This is how it suppose to sound. A lot of people try to sing this song but it just doesn't sound right. I mean you really have to sing this song spot on for it to sound good. Brings back those memories from 84. Excellent post! Thank You!
Not many years ago, I didn't know exactly who Billy Joel was. Until I heard a lot of his music and realised I knew almost every single song, he's written so many hits.
