    Just so you know, for about 10 years, Billy's music could be heard nonstop on the radio. Billy could easily be considered Americana

    I was in a Piano Bar ,not dissimilar from this one, in New Orleans. The piano player played this song. Everyone from the barely 21 year olds out to party to a table with older folks dressed in tuxes and furs, were singing this with pure joy. It was a moment I’ll never forget.

    Billy Joel is one of these artists with a seemingly bottomless catalogue. You could react to 50 of his songs and have the same reaction you're having today. His writing skills, his musicianship and his voice are all extremely top notch. Itcwould be hard for me to pick my top 10 songs from him without leaving out so many bangers.

    It’s always a joy to watch someone discover Billy Joel for the first time. He’s got a huge catalog. He’s an amazing musician who loves trying different styles. Keep going down this path. You will not be disappointed.

Check out Scenes From an Italian Restaurant, Just the Way You Are, River of Dreams, We didn’t Start the Fire, Always a Woman, Vienna and Downeaster Alexa just for starters.
