Billy Joel may be the most talented singer songwriter composer in American history as far as rock pop is concerned. His music spans many decades with hit after hit but not just catchy music but some of the most beautiful melodies (she’s always a woman to me-which won a Grammy for song of the year in 1977) to music with such poetic genius like And so it goes, which is a masterpiece. When I was in the 7th grade in 1980 I would sit on the carpet in our den and listen to his latest album 42nd Street and sing the lyrics printed on the inside of the album cover. What makes Billy so incredible of an artist is his range. Your reaction to NY State of mind is wonderful and shows his style in jazz, but he wrote tons of rock n roll hits, soft ballads and even country style songs like the ballad of Billy the kid or Traveling Prayer. And then there are hits that deal with deep subjects like the Vietnam War with his masterpiece Goodnight Saigon and famous songs like Piano Man or Just the Way you are and Honesty. Every Album Joel put out from cold spring harbor (his first) to his last (River of dreams) has hit after hit from cover to cover. He’s just a musical genius. The Stranger album is gold. And one of my favorite songs I’d love you to react to is a song he wrote for his daughter Alexa as a child when she asked him daddy, what happens when we die. He was also getting divorced from his wife model Christie Brinkley who he wrote the hit uptown girl about. The song for his daughter is called “Lullaby (Goodnight My Angel). I made the song “our song” for my first daughter when she was born in 2001. Even today at 22 yrs old when we hear the song she gets tears in her eyes. Keep up the great reactions. You three are kind, humble and sweet ❤️
Thanks
You have no idea how deep this man's library of incredible songs go. Open up the box and enjoy the journey.
You all have to listen to his "Scenes From An Italian Restaurant".
This was written by Billy Joel and released in 1976. Tony Bennet has covered it and actually sang it with Billy Joel in concert, but it's a Billy Joel original.
Shes probably thinking of New York, New York by Frank Sinatra.
Pianoman Billy Joel.....a masterful piano player, musician, and singer/songwriter. His gifts are bountiful. So blessed to have grown up with his music...and still enjoying it. His music is timeless...never gets old or sounds dated!!!
Yes, he's amazing in concert. Saw him recently in a stadium performance. We were in the upper deck and he came up to the cheap seats and spend about 20 minutes greeting people and letting us take selfies. Security finally came and got him so he could start the show.
Awesome
@kevinmclaughlin8975 When he plays at MSG they save an area up by the stage and Billy will have a usher/security guy find a few people with the worst seats and bring them down front for the show. I was lucky I already had front row seats.
Richie Cannata is the saxophone player. His solo on Joel's "Until the Night" is one of the best sax solos ever. Please try it. You'll love it.
I met Richie back in 1980 when I saw Billy on the "Glass Houses" tour he signed my program as did most of the band, I was just 13 at the time. I recently saw Billy at MSG from the front row, the Sax player now is Mark Rivera and he's just as amazing as Richie was.
@@laudanum669 he sure is. Mark even has a few solo albums out. Joel guests on one of them. No Joel level musically but not too bad either.
This is Billy's song. He had several major albums through the 70s into the 80s. He has more than 20 songs that made the top 10. He isn't know for ever doing a cover song.(he did a Beatles cover once, when Paul McCartney joined him on stage) Scenes from an Italian Restaurant, She's got a way, It's still rock and roll to me, You might think Im crazy, Just the way you are, and Only the good die young. All big hits.
Earlier in his career he was married to Christie Brinkley, the super model and they have a beautiful daughter before they divorced but now he is building old and rare motorcycles from everywhere and he is still performing every few years.
He is still amazing, still giving concerts.
Billy Joel is another incredibly deep rabbit hole. His first album came out in 1971; his last in 1993. He's best known for his single "Piano Man", but the styles he's recorded are all over the musical map. A random sample: "Scenes From An Italian Restaurant", "Downeaster Alexa", Zanzibar", "River Of Dreams", "Uptown Girl", "Just The Way You Are", "The Stranger", and "The Entertainer". Just for grins, toss in his instrumental "Root Beer Rag".
There are so many songs that could be suggested. Here are a few.
Something fun - Uptown Girl (Official video to get the most out of it)
Something fun and acapella - For the longest time (Official video to get the most out of it)
Something epic - Scenes from an Italian Restaurant
Something serious - Leningrad
Something different - We didn't start the fire. (Official video to get the most out of it)
And of course his new one that is the first in many years - Turn the lights back on. (Official video)
I have been lucky enough to see Billy Joel twice at MSG, once from the front row. This is one of my favorite songs as I love NYC. I wanted to see him one more time at MSG, but when it was announced that he will be ending his residency there in 2024 the ticket prices have gone thru the roof. He will have ended up playing 150 sold out shows over the last 10 years at MSG. I saw him the first time in Minnesota back in 1980 on the "Glass Houses" tour I was 13 then, my how time fly's by.
I am always amazed when I see people who have never heard of Billy Joel. (Maybe you have heard his songs, but didn't know he was the singer), Seems like he has been popular forever. I saw him live over 40 years ago and he is still performing today. This was a great performance!
Another song that I would recommend, and that is in the same melancholy genre, is Baby Grand. It’s a duet with Ray Charles on dueling pianos. It’s really lovely and sad and hopeful. You should give it a listen the next time you dip into Billy Joel’s catalog.
Billy Joel's innocent man is another little played banger of his , great musician love your reactions nice having your three takes on your selections
It's a stupendous version of a stupendous song.
He wrote the song traveling from California back to NYC.
Scenes From An Italian Restaurant (Live From Long Island) such a great piano performance - - with an injured hand. It's awesome. Also, if you guys are interested in checking out downtown NYC in the mid-1980s - - totally impromptu - - the people on the block had no idea Billy Joel was going to be rehearsing in a studio there that day - - it's really cool - - the song is Matter of Trust. The video is just legendary 80s. Hope you'll check it out. Enjoyed all your comments; nice reaction, from an old New Yorker, loving Billy Joel for 50+ years.
Thank you
Love watching people getting a musical education ❤️❤️
He is amazing and even brings other people on the stage to sing their songs, he brought up Brian Johnson of ACDC to sing their song one of their songs with him. What a great man.
Awesome
Great song and reaction. You should check out Billy Joel's "Still Rock and Roll to me", or any other song off his "Glass Houses" album.
Love your reaction...and seeing your 3 generations here. Best to your family.
Thank you so much!!
This is one of my favorite performances. Your family is adorable! ❤️
Thank you so much!
Loved watching The Old Grey Whistle Test every week on BBC2 - some fantastic musicians and epic songs and sets
Fantastic reactions!
Thank you!! 😁
Definitely early Billy Joel who is an excellent singer songwriter and pianist and you should watch his live performance of Scenes of an Italian Restaurant
I was fortunate enough to see him play Madison Square Garden NYC, great concert.
"Just the way you are" and "Honesty"are a must.
I think most of my thoughts are already said here but I recommend We Didn’t Start the Fire, and Still Rock and Roll to Me for more Billy Joel listening pleasure.
The beautiful thing about music that has improvisation d on is its always different always fresh and because it is played live together with improvising it will be truth😎
Great reaction ladies. This is absolutely his song. He performed this song in New York after 911 and it was powerful
Oh ladies I was privileged enough to see Billy in concert twice in the 70s and they were amazing
I was lucky enough to see him perform at the Forum in Inglewood California in the early 80's. At one point he made that large hall feel like a small jazz club. Incredible entertainer.
I love your accents! I've no idea where you are from but you all sound amazing. Am from the UK
We are in USA, Texas.
Definitely channeling Ray Charles on this!
You guys are awesome, keep up the spectacular reactions❤
Thank you! Will do!
since you ladies enjoy brass you may want to hear David Sanborn perform Love and Happiness
As an expatriate NYer it make me home sick that and rhapsody in Blue
Billy Joel was the first US performer to do live concerts in the USSR and famously threw the piano off stage when the authorities turned the venues lights on during his performance to film the people in the crowd.
Got to do "Piano Man". Surprised it wasn't your first Billy Joel. ; )
Billy Joel doesn’t do covers. Why would he, as there has never been a better, more varied, more prolific writer of so many iconic songs👌
Piano Man da giovane "live" era in portento assoluto ... Per Lui la musica un gioco facile .... Unico artista che ha solo gioielli nel suo repertorio
Consiglio la performance .. Leave a tender moment alone "live" duet with Tootsie Tielemans
I love LULU!!
You like brass chk.out a band from the 70s , Tower of power , the best horn section in the business....nar none. Hip up be square, so very hard to go, still digging on james brown etc,etc,etc......they are the sh....
I don't know what's best, the songs or your commentary, I'm gonna say your commentary ❤
A song from the same album(or even from the same concert): Prelude/The Angry Young Man...fantastic showmanship, plus, Billy doing prog rock( a rarity )
Lulu must get tired of saying, 'I have never heard of it.' 😂
Billy Joel is a legend! It's longer than your usual reactions, but I really recommend you watch the "Billy Joel Kennedy Center Honors 2013 Complete - Full Performance" vid where he was honored for his career and a bunch of artists performed Billy's songs in front of him. It's 20 minutes long and you'll get to hear his back story and what he's meant to so many people.
This sounds better than the studio version.
USA for Africa We are the World
Over the years I have seen him 5 times and he was awesome every time. If you like a bit of sax on the side Billy Joel uses plenty of it in many of his songs😅 Christie Lee is a real rock n roll tribute to the 60’s and is all sax and piano.
You like horns? Check out Streetlight Manifesto - We Will Fall Together. Do the studio or official music video that's animated. Best modern horn section around.
May I suggest that you react to his song Vienna
Just a reminder....he also wrote every song he performed
The girl in the middle looks like a actress I just can’t put my finger on it 😊 great channel
Thanks
Billy Joel is AMAZING live! Great sax solos in Scenes From an Italian Restaurant. Amazing trumpet in Zanzibar. Prelude/Angry Young Man for his piano playing! His piano play is always amazing but that is definitely a look what I can do type of piano playing
This song had a rejuvenation of sorts after 9/11. Great song!
And this is for Lulu. Billy Joel is now completely bald.😊 Sorry no more hair.😊
Ladies, this has been a great reaction (as always, I should say). ❤
Billy Joel is "something else". He simply has been, and still is, masterful. To my knowledge, he made no covers, but only performed his original songs. His compositions and lyrics are truly exceptional. Please do yourselves and everybody else the favor and continue exploring his immense spectrum of songs, styles and content (BTW, he also composed symphonies). Here's a suggestion for you -- "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant" with a great artistic video: th-cam.com/video/izzM9LXqP-U/w-d-xo.html
I gotta tell you something else. Before this, I watched your reaction to Tom Jones' "I'll never fall in love again". As you might no longer check the comments in there, I will put mine here as I have an -- as I believe -- gem for you the three of you only: Here's Tom Jones at 76 years of age together with Jennifer Hudson, improvising "It's a man's world": th-cam.com/video/5_Ox34opf_U/w-d-xo.html (I hope you'll be able to open this link beyond the big pond).
Love from Germany
You three ladies have become my favorite first reaction!!! Great song from the piano man himself! If you love sax? Listen to Jungleland, by Bruce Springsteen. Greatest sax player ever, “The Big Man” Clarence Clemons! ❤
Thank you
If Billy Joel recorded it then 99.9% of the time, Billy Joel wrote it and his version is the original.....OK, I made up the 99.9% but of his 12 solo studio albums, every track was written by him.
And not trying to be a dick here but the saxophone is a woodwind instrument, as defined by the single-reed in the mouthpiece. It is easy to think it is brass though due to the body of the instrument.
He is now bald as a cue ball. Not even a cotton ball of poofy hair 😮
Billy Joel married the hottest model; Christie Brinkley and they had a daughter. Alexa Ray.
Billy wrote the song with Tony Bennett.
Not trying to be a dick here but if you mean Tony is the co-writer then Billy actually wrote it by himself, as he did all of his songs, bar one co-write with Cyndi Lauper.
This song was written in 1976 and I would not have thought Billy and Tony had met yet back then but they did later record the song together, as well as The Good Life too.
Tony has nothing to do with this song tony has his own song about SF .
Sounds like a white men’s Ray Charles to me.
You like brass chk.out Tower of Power, What is Hip, or Your still a young man... as for Billy joel try Piano man,

Billy Joel? Just pick a song, they are all good.
Ah the good old days in NYC.. Before it became a “sanctuary city” 😢
Leave my city out of this.
if you want a great saxophone riff, listen to Bob Segar and the Silver Bullet Band doing "Turn the Page" off their album "Live Bullet"
