Back when musicians played real instruments and actually sang. No lip syncing. No autotune. Just pure raw talent.
nah man today we have trap music, the epitome of talent and good vibes
VAYA QUE SI!👍😄
Simplemente maravilloso 😊
HAPPY 75TH BIRTHDAY
WILLIAM "BILLY" JOEL
(MAY 9, 2024)
@Billyjoel-ww5orno pareces lo que dices, ten cuidado con lo que haces, que las maldades se pagan. No-Billy
I believe that somewhere in the world, there are people who feel the same emotions that I feel when I listen to masterpieces like this song.
If only today, performers actually used only their voice, no auto-tune, probably very few would fall into the category of singers. This is awesome! the real voice , thank you Mr. Joel for sharing!
It's stunning to think Billy Joel thought this was a throwaway song on his album but Paul McCartney wished that he had written this song
😂😂😂😂 siii eso me hace admirarlo por esa ...esa insistencia de su persona por salir adelante...VAYA QUE SI LO LOGRO!... también lo envidio por tantas mujeres hermosas que tuvo😂👋😂
My husband is a man of few words, his actions speak volumes. He played this song for me last night I fell in love all over again and my heart just melted. I will love you FOREVER my love❤❤
They don't write love songs like this anymore❤ Classic!
Thank you Mr. Joel for quality music over 5 decades. God bless you!
❤
My wife is dying. This was our song. She and I kissed for the first time as it played. Billy; Thank you. I will take the bad times; just the way you are. I love you Darling. Always and forever. Don’t waste time folks. Show the one you love that you love them. That’s forever.
😢
I'm sorry your wife is passing. It's so hard to lose a loved one.😪
Cheer up! the best song ever wrote.
Great song and great memories. Sorry about your wife. Hope it worked out.
Your love will follow you…and connect.
My boyfriend who passed from liver cancer 6yrs ago we used to sing this song 🎵 together 🎉🎉
This song NEVER gets old...
My daughter and I saw him last February at Madison Square Garden. I also saw him in Hershey, Pa just when he was starting his relationship with Christie Brinkley. His first show in Hershey was cancelled because of what happened at Three Mile Island…..So glad he came back after things settled down.
Great to be a teenager when this kind of music was new and not that uncommon. The 70s were amazing.
This man’s music catalogue defined a generation we all love! Thank you Sir 👏
My husband and my song...played at our wedding! 42 years later,we are still together ❤
sorry to hear that! my condolences
Hello Thanks for your comment and supports, your comments and constant support has brought me this far. Keep Supporting ❤️
Please send me a mail,bj3810743@gmail.com
Congratz! God bless your marriage!
Felicidades
Love this song even at 61!!!
I am confounded by how I did not see absolutely how charismatic Billy Joel is. Real time, my friends were listening to another genre. Just goes to show the power of suggestion. Never turned him off the radio, but never bought his records. I can't imagine how many other good things I missed because I lived in the bubble of my youth.
Still one of the most beautiful love songs ever written!
And will always be.
My wife's and my wedding song on Nov 19, 1979. We couldn't have picked a better one. We were married for almost 42 years until she died from breast cancer. I loved her through all of her health struggles through the good times and bad times. Just the way she was. 😢❤❤❤
😢 I Fell Sorry for your sad loss...
I'm sorry for your loss, but glad you had those years. Still looking for the one I can dance to with this one.
So sorry to hear that, take care Friend!
i also had this at funeral dong for my partner recently...all his faults and mine encapsulated in one song
💔
Billy Joel's vibrato is some of the most beautiful I've ever heard. In his prime his voice was unbelievable.
Still is, imo
Helena RC ah yes. His voice didn’t really change. I mean of course voices change as you get older, but his voice now is just as amazing as it was then. : D
@@kyliedonaldson4625 He can’t sing quite as high now but he still sounds amazing
I agree it's amazing in his prime, but if you see even some of his more recent performances he can still sing with the best of them.
Billy Joel amazing, also the entire band and solo in Saxo,
My wife got breast cancer this year! We've been together 29 years now and hope and pray we'll see much more ahead 💖
Get well soon
May God heal your wife soon.
Prayers for you wife! God is always in control...
Stay strong!!!
I'm so sorry your dear wife got breast cancer. Bless you both in your battle against this disease. All you can do is keep on loving each other. Love is all. ❤🌹
I sing this to my rescue dog (even when he’s a “handful”) 💙
That's funny, I do the same to my dog. And I also love this song.
😏🙄🥰
@Billyjoel-ww5or I don't care if other people are claiming to buy you, as long as I can listen to your music and look at your face. If anyone tries to get money from me, I'm not worried about it, because I don't have any. The group stalkers took it all.
To be you
Even the mic is happy to be there
Lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣✌️
Timeless. They sure don't make music like this anymore. Absolute perfection.
Nope
@@tejaark Cope
nah... they dont have this masterpice nowday
Most of Billy Joel's most beloved songs weren't the most popular at first. Billy Joel himself said his favorite songs were album tracks.
And the same applies to nowadays. They definitely do make excellent music like this now.
It just goes unappreciated for a few years or a decade or so before garnering a cult following.
❤❤❤yess
It’s crazy I am 14 and some people call me weird for liking this kind of music. Billy Joel and Elton John are some of my favorite artists
You’re an old soul
They just don't have a good taste of music. Keep it up
I loved them at that age too and I still do 35 years later. Legends 🎵
You are FAR from being weird Jolter. You have great taste in music, REAL music, by a brilliant and exceptional musician/artist/singer/songwriter/composer...
There aren't many of these kind of talented people producing music these days!
@@Wookie8058 agreed Wookie
No other entertainer sang LOVE from the Streets of NY to the World, and we LOVED him for it. Remarkable as one of NY's most loved son's he has Jewish roots, right back to the Holocaust.
Now look at NY ??? It is despicable. It is so wrong. LOVE You Billy Joel. Love Your Music. LOVE your NY LOVE brother.
Just played this to my wife of nearly 53 years. It captures the contentment of love that is grounded in a covenent to be faithful for life.
We're going on 52. This song does embody commitment.
I was a Junior in college at SUNY Plattsburgh in 1977 ... this song was playing at all the dorm and floor parties all around campus ... and playing at the bars downtown too ... awesome song, awesome year at school and so many great memories! ... thanks Billy!
Billy Joel is a legend ❤️
I'd be honored if some old-school Billy Joel fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of ALLENTOWN and VIENNA on my channel in tribute to the master of 20th century music. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Thanks and peace.
@@willritter4076 Billy Joel i suoi video clip la canzone cantata in una officina meccanica per moto
Billy joel
For sure.
Excellent ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I just love how relaxed and casual he is when he plays this song, he's so comfortable with playing and you can 100% tell in the way he presents himself playing

Eu acho a nesma coisa muito relaxado
He's high af
@@Obiwannabe honestly not even surprised
@@Obiwannabe 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I thought so too
no auto tune, no software vocal correction, just raw voice and pure talent
Who's here May 2024
One of the best song ever composed...Billy Joel is one.of the best singer in music history
As we are all aware...being a superstar .... can mess up your head. Yep
the piano man ..
Agree with you, best song ever composed
Yes this is my all time favorite…..simple melody but beyond extraordinary. Those two elements make for a song that will never die. Love love this song. No one sings it like Billy Joel….the ORIGINAL!!❤️
The sax is pure magic.
Absolutely....
Perfect...&...legendary....
@@niphondi SEX IS ALSO OK
@@edwardlowe7260 Absolutely AGREE...
I thought Phil Woods played on this? Studio version at least ??
Needs more cowbells.
ビリージョエルさんの「素顔のままで」初めて聴いたのは13歳の中学時代にアルバムを買いました、それから高校生から社会人になってからも聴いて大好き❤ですね♪
A masterpiece of a song. I've been married 37 years now and appreciate this song more then ever today.
I saw him play this live in LA a month ago (as I write this), and he's still got it. It's unreal just how talented this man is, and what an innate, instinctive musical gift he has. He's still incredible live...HIGHLY recommend catching him if he's playing anywhere remotely near you. Absolutely worth it. ❤
Yes 100%, my dad has all his record albums as I grew up. Music was always on the record llayer. I'm a 76' baby that learned and understood true music. Some songs just hit different. I saw him live 10 odd years ago in my city. Highlight memory for me.
My wife and I went to the Arrowhead Stadium show this August. It was the best concert I have ever been to and I have been to many fantastic performers and bands. This was by far my favorite.
Hello @MollyT119,
How're you doing?
Thanks for being a fan.
It's nice meeting you here.
Es hermosa como ti
Billy wrote this beautiful song over 40 odd years ago, and I guarantee, people will still be listening to this classic 40 years from now.
Eu com 64 anos de idade.
Try 4000.
Tout à fait !
They sure do!!!
I'm 57 yrs old now. Very meaningful and touched my emotion so much. l'm using the gmail of my daughter. Josie.
The song all of us wish we had wrote for that special girl in our lives. Way back then when we had not too many worries. It was such a good and fine time. May Yahweh grant us this in that special place that we will all go to now very soon. I love this time of my life. It seems so far away. Hope I can go back . Thank you Billy for this lovely song. I cry for this time. Thank you.
Can we just take a moment to observe how great this band is? They're at the top of their game. Billy is great, of course, but this band was perfect!
Very high quality live performance .
This is as greatest as it can get I think. I don’t know any better
@@billyjoel786 wow the real billy joel 🙄
@@kirancox6123 Thanks my huge fan.
Con está canción conocí a mi primer novio y por razones muy tristes y a consecuencia vde la muerte de mi madre dejamos de vernos es una historia muy larga y muy triste.
My girlfriend and I used to dance to this and many other songs from that era. We literally danced all night. We had such great fun. I wish I was young again and could bring back that era. Just a fabulously good time. The young people of today have no clue. By the way, that girlfriend is my wife of over 40 years.
Absolutely sweet message. Mankind is worth saving after all.
I agree with you Kojak.. young people now a days don't know how to appreciate a classic songs like this..
Kojak Keep dancing!
Kojak curitiba, Brasil, The best song
Good for you man. You are a lucky man to have a woman love you for forty years.
Has to be one of the best love songs ever, right? I mean, right?! Of course it is. It's perfect.
Apart from the line "I don't need clever conversation"
@@joannel5407 . . . well, now that you mention it. Yes. (My world is shattered.)
@@joannel5407 you are missing the point. He is saying he doesn't want to debate or compete with her, just wants to talk in a comfortable way. "Clever" doesn't mean smart, it means cunning, like a competition.
🎉🎉🎉SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SONG🎉🎉🎉
Great vocals . Far better than a majority of today’s so called vocalists .
71 year old just got goosebumps and teary eyed with this beautiful song. Thank you for sharing old memories of a wonderful era
xx
This song really brings back the memories of a simpler time when life was way less complicated.
I'm 74 and I totally agree
I remember as a 10 year old, in the winter of 1977, when I first heard this. It was a revelation to me...that music could move me in an inexplicable way. To this day...this track...moves me like no other ever has. Reminds me of a lost childhood, and my emotions for the little girl who sat across from me, in 5th grade. Her name was Beth...and I can still feel that same emotion for her...all these years later.
There are those special songs that affect us and take us back to when we first heard it...memories...nostalgia...happy times...
If you are still rich enough to live in NY or if you got a ride or whatever, go see this man, if you got to max your CC do it it’s a once in a lifetime that will NEVER happen again PERFECTION rarely happens, so you’ve been told or warned, carry on
I’m behalf of everyone, everywhere on earth… Thank you for this beautiful song, Billie. ❤
never got old..
@@BillyJoel-mv1qf Mr BJ, your songs will survive for the next decade that is why i got ur songs in my bigolive singing list

Billy Joel is an amazing composer. One of the best ever.

@@lucianomanerba8634 ciao dalla Svizzera ! Bella musica certo, tipo Christopher Cross 😉
@@enki6578 Sì, ma lui mi piace di piu. I lenti degli anni 70'...👋👋👋
Can't agree more
Yes I agree
When a live version tops the studio version you’ve got a real legend
This music is an hymn!!!! Congratulations!!!!
To me this is the best decade for music. It was more melodic, calm, easy to understand & lastly the music represented real life at that time. Thanks for the music!!!
Usually, to me, the live versions of songs aren't as good as the studio ones. But, this is quite an exception. Great voice to a beautiful, memorable pop song.
i hear ya.
I love live recordings because they capture a magic that the studio can't touch.
Agreed💪
gdg1963 Billy Joel has such perfect musicality and pitch that he does do really well live!
I totally agree, when it's live they usually add or take away something, just sing it like you recorded, please!! This was beautiful!!
A beautiful song with meaning. Nothing today compares with the music of this era.
You got that right Steve!!
It's because songs aren't built the same way. Songs used to be performed a hundred times in front of audiences before they were recorded.
@@Jay-ft3xh no one to Depend on
So much good music out there now, check out Pluto projector by Rex orange country. Great modern love song
Silvester my idol..billy the balladeer jazz!
To the person that reads this, I ask the Lord to bless them and their family, to cure them of every sickness and pain, to fill their emptiness with love joy and peace, to rebuke the enemy from their lives. " ASK JESUS TO COME INTO YOUR HEART AND SAVE YOU, AND TO FORGIVE YOU OF YOUR SINS, FOR WE GIVE THANKS AND GLORY TO THE LORD. IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS CHRIST AMEN!
I saw Billy Joel live with my then boyfriend/love of my life when I was 18. This song made me cry then and it still makes me cry 40 years later. ❤
Sang this to my cat in his last hours. I will forever love him the way he was.
That is so sweet 😞😌
Bless
Thanks so much i really appreciate , if you dont mind let me get to know a true fan better . You can write your phone number to me in my mail so i can text you and get to know you better

Was born in 1982 n boy do I love this song!
My wedding song too 1996 my husband loves Billy Joel
Love to play ur songs,, still d best 😍
@@billyjoel640 may our lord bless ur family,, and thank you for the music
Sang this song to my girlfriend at karaoke, got a standing ovation, and we’ve been married 22 years.
Magnifique témoignage 👍
Beautiful song, sung and played by a master musician. Thanks Billy
Billy Joel thats a real musician, all his songs are a true treasure
Back to the good old days. This song really touches my heart and soul.
YES I KNOW ITS A CLASSIC AND WILL BE HEARD FOREVER.
Me too!
The same feeling.
Hello how are you doing
Listen to this song outdoors during a summer sunset. 😊
This is absolutely one of the greatest songs ever recorded……beautiful & my favorite oldie…….but music of this caliber NEVER gets old…….a classic for sure❤️❤️
Hey there how are you doing today ?
Oh, that voice. Every single note right on pitch. This is one of my all-time favorite songs.
Hello Julie basco,
Is nice meeting you here.
How're you doing?
Amazing how perfect his pitch is…
No other voice quit like his and Phill Wood on the tenner sax ain't bad either.
This is called real music, the legend BJ.
I had a legendary BJ last night
@@RandomAhhhMemes it better have been to the legend BJ
Saw his concert in Baltimore the other night! He's still got it; I couldn't even be mad about the songs he didn't sing (concert would have been all night)!
Billy Joel has a terrific voice. Superb song writer, vocalist & performer. His performances speak volumes.
Thank you so much BJ
When my wife is putting some music on for us to enjoy I always ask her for BJ. Sadly, she has moved on from what we used to enjoy, and I rarely get the BJ that I ask for
It might be hard to believe and many wouldn't agree but I think billy is underrated big time. In my opinion if you listen to the song my life its very like the beatles and just as good hes up there with elton freddie and the beatles
U need to listen to more beatles songs!i like b.joel but can guarantee you he would tell u the beatles are on another level to everyone else!listen to there OLDER stuff.
estou ouvindo hoje 2024 amo demais
No autotune no vocoder no special effects just pure beautiful skill in writing and performing - thank-you
💚
Todo un clásico
Billy Joel can blend rock n roll with jazz. Brilliant
I'd be honored if some old-school Billy Joel fans would check out my acoustic piano & vocal performances of VIENNA and ALLENTOWN on my YT channel in tribute to the master of 20th century music. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Thanks and peace.
hi.honey....member this one....
Hello Thanks for your comment and supports, your comments and constant support has brought me this far. Keep Supporting ❤️
Please send me a mail,bj3810743@gmail.com
This will always be such a beautiful song. Everytime I hear it, I cry. It brings so many emotions.
Amazing and just as amazing is the skill of the BBC sound engineers.
I am soo happy that I grew up in the 70's and 80's!. We had good music. I am now grateful for the internet for all we have to do is click a button and get to see the singers and hear the songs without having to go turn on our radio record players, ( I still have mine) flip through albums to listen!! Or the cassette players!!
I grew up in 50's and their has always been good music !!! I feel in love with my Mothers " Platters " album & took it when I left home :) But I loved Billy Joel & so many from 60's, 70's, 80's !!! Always be open to older music.
I had the privilege of seeing him live in Sydney, Australi on my 60th Birthday, that was 14 years ago.
Seeing your commentary, I realize that it is not only in my country that we have a decadence in music. Yes, national music is not worth listening to anymore
we still have that music, now we just go to youtube. easier. Also we have new music which is also good.
Oingo boingo walks into the room and ruins your few seconds of 80's pride
My gosh, the 70s music is so gorgeous
tell that to the other ten people that don't know that.
Takes me back to 1977
Songs today don't pull your heart strings like this song does 💞
I had forgotten what a wonderfully clear and melodious voice that Billy Joel had as a young man. I still love hearing him (no matter what his age). He's wonderful.
Yeah, it's like Elton John. That guy's got a really strong voice, like Billy. People talk about their songwriting ability because we value songwriters and they're both prolific. But both have really strong voices too.
Hello how are you doing,its nice meeting you here
Is this really you, BJ?!
@@SEW_B yes it really me . i know you must be surprised to receive a message from me right
Thank you, Billy, for this personal reply! And, YES, I am most certainly surprised! I hope you are well, happy, and creating more wonderful music!
Thank you beautiful Lord for giving so much love in your melodies, we love you and we will never forget you.
His voice, piano playing, lyrics and kudos to the sax player. Pure talent. ❤
Played this song on the day i married the love of my life ❤
Best song writer ever. Always consistant and never disappoints. Keep going Billy cause you rock😊
He's got the best hair ever. I'm not sure about the song, though. It's nice, but doesn't really blow me away. Peace!!!!!!
I'm 50 years old this love song will never die this song bringing back memories of my child hood
By far the best version of this song.. The strong New York accent really is evident in this version which makes me love this song even more.
Wish all men had these lyrics in their heart in todays world.
Man , he wrote so many good songs !
That sax solo is so fantastic. I love how Billy just plays from the back right corner.
One of THE Best Songwriters EVER. Classic Legend: Billy Joel.
This is the pearl ever of the seventies and eighties! The original Billy Joel`s song!
What's a pure magic...
This music is just a peace of magic that can give your day fantastic way..
I'm 43 and i cant imagine my day without this song..
There will never ever be another like Billy Joel. Hes freaking , amazingly talented. He's go spectacular skills
Is nobody gonna recognize how handsome Billy is in this video???
You mean young? :-)

Lots of unspoken passion is found in the best relationships. Brother / sister Mother/daughters; Husbands/wives. How real, how gorgeous the song!
Principios de los 80s los amo
This song comes off what has to be one of the most perfect albums of all time. There wasn't a bad song on The Stranger, and it includes Vienna, Moving Out, and the song that has to be his greatest of all time: Scenes from an Italian Restaurant. Amazing.
You're not the only one baby. My son is 15 and he is the same way. They call him weird too for that and mature conversations. That speaks really well about you.
Billy Joel's music is priceless !
The best tune to rebuild two broken souls in the middle of a rainy lonely street.
That's beautiful, Giovanni
@@jlewis9043 thank you so much. Regard from the bottom of my heart
I still remember this song from my teenage days. One of the greatest songs ever written.
E simpatic cum cântă ! Se vede că trăiește versurile !
Un poet adevărat !
Bravo , Billy !
Possibly the greatest or at least one of the 10 greatest songs ever. I dont care if it only peaked @ #3 on US billboard hot 100. It's right up there with the best of the best.
同感てす。素敵です、
Excellent. One of my favorite songs from the 70's. What an era to have been a child /teen, with all of that great music. There will never be another era like the 70's. PERIOD.
I met and married my wife when this song was out, very good 👍
This song never gets old just a great song in any era thank you Billy Joel !!!
This song brings a tear to my eye as I recall the great times I had as a young man and as a Billy Joel fan. Thanks to Billy for enriching our lives with his great music and talent.
Back when musicians were musicians and Live music was actually performed Live. You didn't become famous for 5 minutes because you sang somebody else's song on a cheesy Game Show. Amazing Talent, no lip synching, nothing pre-recorded, just pure TALENT.

And a sob story background
I'm only 30 but I feel that deep in my soul I was just saying music now a days cant touch the older stuff
There is actually more of this than there has ever been, you just have to look for it.
There are a few but certainly not "a lot". Nobody had to look for it back in the day, in order to make it in music you actually required Talent. Today there are many talented artists who are not famous, but there are many more "famous" artists who are not talented.
亡き弟が大好きだったビリージョエル😭いつ聴いても泣けてくる😭❤
Bless your Brothers Soul 🙏🙏🙏
oh the emotion in these words, they dont do music like this anymore.
