    52nd Street in 1978, the album that this song comes from was the first ever commercial mass-produced CD.
    And Billy's best vocals in my view all come from the same An Innocent Man album a few years later in 1983, those being the title track An Innocent Man, Leave a Tender Moment Alone and This Night.

    What I love about Billy Joel is his eclectic nature
    He can be soulful, romantic, intensly rockin', or irreverent, depending on what mood you're looking for
    Add to that, he's not only a singer/songwriter, but a full fledged composer, often writing the music for multiple instruments and arrangements
    2 of my favorites fall into the irreverent category with The Entertainer, and New York 2019 (I've seen the lights go out on Broadway)

    Had this song on a 45 rpm record. Almost wore it out in high school.

    Watch Angry Young Man, but a live version. Amazing piano work. Also My Life is an excellent song

    Saw Billy in concert in December. The only concert I have ever been to where I wanted to turn around and go back and see/hear him again! Absolutely brilliant
