Why do so many people hate on/make fun of Billy Joel? His music is amazing and he is clearly a true artist.

[Utsumo]

He sounds a bit like Paul McCartney on this song

[SaturnTrack]

@Utsumo He was heavily infuenced by McCartney's songwriting and music styles at the start of his solo career. Just watch the promo video of Everybody Loves You Now. Billy looks just like him.

I once heard a classical choir singing this on CBC radio. Does anybody know their name?

[stillettosrock]

this is such a beautiful song i love it

[muffinuccia]

I love it

[crashnburn753]

I think the poor quality of the recording actually enhances the song, like when he hits the high notes and it cracks a bit.

[Cheeta1020]

I love Billy Joel's entire album "Cold spring harbor" i find it sad it didnt take off. this song is a personal favorite

[Ro3ieful]

guys, i'm struggling with the chords, uhh. what are they!? can anyone help? x

[wbvvmd1234]

It sounds like he says Why JULIE Why to me

[gentlemanoffortune]

I sure prefer the name Julie to Judy.

[stache500]

one of the greatest musicians of all time

[stache500]

this song is excellent, and it's a shame his most popular songs are from lesser albums like Storm Front, because his first was one of his best, in my opinion

[jutsqq]

Judy rocks!

[BillyJoel1985]

what happened to his sister Judy?

[konajinxed]

You can't tell there is anything wrong with the mastering because this is from the corrected version re-released in 1984. Original pressings with the messed up mix can go for a pretty penny.

[fascistamericadotnet]

sadly the track "you can make me free" was edited down from 8 minutes to just 3 and just fades out. I cant understand why they didnt correct that too for the CD reissue. The bastards.

[Stiletto92]

The original had a much better mix than this. Artie Ripp butchered the album for the 1983 reissue, he took a load of stuff out and put new stuff in like synthesisers and drum tracks, to make it more appealing to the 80s generation.

[finsfan13]

Billy actually had a pretty voice back then.

[bobbypinhead]

who the F is Judy?

[woodstock1330]

His sister.

[kyokoushio]

I love this song! (Actually, I love the whole album - it arrived by the way!) I honestly can't stop listening to this and 'Falling of the Rain. Thanks for the post :D

[woodstock1330]

Ok, less fan-gushy comment now, did you know he wrote it for his sister? How sweet is that!

in retrospect, that's still pretty gushy, arg. O_o I'll shut up now.

[mission2marsden]

Yes, Judy was Billy's sister. He also wrote a song for his mother, titled "Rosalinda's Eyes".

[woodstock1330]

Oh yeah, I know, I adore that song!

[jvisaggi]

Rosalinda's Eyes is an amazing song. I'll probably do a video of it at some point.

[delly659]

@mission2marsden if you wanna get real into it, he wrote another song about his mom, that i know of, im sure there are more, but its called "Rosalinda" just rosalinda, i belive the only recording was from a concert post cold spring harbor, and pre rainbow room i think you might still be able to find it on here, hope you check it out

see you later

[KennyIngram10]

@mission2marsden AND Rosalinda. I don't know about Rosalinda's Eyes, but I know he wrote the song Rosalinda for her.

[VegarVindfallet]

He also wrote another song for his mother, simply titled "Rosalinda". Sadly, that song never made it on a record, but I think that song is very beautiful

[dwellens]

''Rosalinda'' is on youtube somewhere, I saw it the other day. beautiful song

[miketallica]

he wrote Rosalinda's Eyes, its on 52nd street....

[hankuverymuch]

hes talking about the song he wrote about for his mother that was never released. he played it live at a radio show in philadelphia and its on youtube.

[coondiddims]

acctually there is an album that Rosalinda is on. i just got it, it is called "Retold Vol.2 The Piano Man From the Harbor".. It is very hard to find. It took me almost a year to find a copy and I had to order it from a man in Peru of all places!!

[VegarVindfallet]

Yeah, sure, You'll find it on some bootleg albums and unoffical compilation albums, but the song never made it on an offical album release.

[coondiddims]

true, it was a great song it deffinatley should had..

[woodstock1330]

Oh my gosh I stinking love you!! Seriously you're my favorite person in the world right now--well I mean, besides you know who! XD Lol. Can you tell I'm just a little excited? Instant 5 stars and favorites! *mwah*

[zephyerlives]

That's my second fav album of his. I think it's one of his greatests. THe songs are so great and pure. Thanks for posting :)
