  • Loved his retort when he said, "I told Elton John he should put out less songs." Great sense of humor and good comedic timing.

    He's got a great sense of humor. How could you not like Billy Joel?
  • @ikarooz
    He writes iconic music, does great impressions, builds motorcycles for Bruce Springsteen. My goodness. He is an international treasure.

    Saw Billy Joel and Elton John perform in concert together when Joel was having a hard time personally, financially and professionally, and Elton hooked up with him to help him get the crowds. One of the most amazing concerts I have ever seen; .two pianos on stage...Elton and Billy singing...what a night. Thought I''d died and gone to heaven. These two men are very good friends and Elton John - for all his quirks - has a heart of gold for helping other artists.

    Billy's success is in that he never thought he was superior or different to other people.
  • @mikehughes4969
    I think all of Billy's music is amazing, but Goodnight Saigon is a masterpiece that is almost completely overlooked.

    5. Vienna 4. And so it goes 3. You may be right 2. She's right on time 1. Scenes from an Italian restaurant
  • "Elton John told you you should release more albums." "And I told him he should release less albums."
  • I always loved “The Ballad Of Billy The Kid” and “Summer Highland Falls”

    One of the greatest musicians of all time!
  • I proposed to my wife in 1993 at karaoke, cementing Just the Way You Are as another of “Our Songs. I had to take a bus to Tower Records for a cassette tape of the karaoke version, because Billy Joel selections were not generally available for karaoke. I walked through the audience as I sang, got on one knee and proposed during the musical break. She actually said yes, and we were married three days later. We’ll celebrate our 29th anniversary in a few months. Beautiful song. Also, if I had a favorite, it would definitely be Close to the Borderline. Man does that song hit home.
