@LuciusTavington It's just me and my vocal harmonizer....no auto-tune, no Billy Joel hiding under the piano.. One of my favorite BJ songs, so I'm happy to hear comments that it does the origiaal justice.
Hey Rick, This is my favourite Billy Joel song and you do it exceptionally well, thanks for that. If I may offer one suggestion, you could loosen up a bit on the enunciation, it's sounds a bit too careful at times. Still, again, a great job!
Man you are really a true fan and a true musician. You did really take your time, and its a great interpretation. I've had a connection with Billy for a long time. richie Canatta is a friend of mine and plays on my album. anyway, good job!
In the '80's I used to play Billy Joel's recording of this song on my radio show and would get a lot of calls from people wanting to know who the artist was. I also think it is Billy Joel's best song and I was always surprised it was never well known.
Next time I'm in San Diego we are going to find you, sir, and make a request of "Until the Night." Like other writers, I am baffled by the song's obscurity. Maybe it's just too good for the general public.
Thanks for doing a great job on this song... I never understood why it was never a released single and a major hit for Billy Joel! Bad decision by record label executives I guess! I think it is the best song he ever did and my favorite by far! You have a great voice... plug away at releasing a version of this commercially yourself!
Not true, shvidfan. That's a MIDI arrangement with and a vocal harmonizer you hear with me. I am however flattered that you think it's the actual studio version. I put a lot of time into my tracks. I guess you'd have to come to San Diego to see for yourself if you still have doubts.
This is one of my favorite songs; awesome job!! It's nice to see you sing this instead of it being put with some ridiculous soap opera. Thanks so much for doing this one:)
my 2nd comment - (I keep coming back to listen to this song). Just by accident, I click to listen to the B Joel version after I listened to urs and couldn't believe how similiar the 2 voices are.
I think it's just the fact that the key is so low that almost any man is going to sound about the same singing this song. I said almost. I also sound similar when singing it though my voice isn't as stable as Billy's or Rick's.
Can you please post a Karaoke of Until The Night? I love singing along to this song but don't play piano. I found one of Honesty and it's almost perfect in Karaoke. The only thing is they added a very low flute-like sound doing the vocal melody. I would rather have none but I do like when the background vocals are left in. I posted this request before but it didn't show up. Thanks and beautiful job. What's your ethnic background? That's if you want to mention. Thanks again.
How cool! I don't think i ever heard anybody do this song other then Billy Joel himself. I wonder too why did this song not get the play that it should have ? I would love to hear ya do it again,but could you add that that sexy sax solo to it ? again, Good Job !
Why is this song not as popular as it should be? Only 2 covers in utube. All B. Joel song books I can get my hands on, do not have this in it. Try to google it, is more like a joke!
Is this just you singing the whole time?

Well sung! But you've left out the best part of the song, the part C crescendo.
It sounds good, but your caught somewhere between a live version and a studio. I would have preferred to see you do it with less backing track.

hi i am also a singer in the uk great version where can i get just the backing track thanx
