You should check out the official video where he starts out his young self and gradually gets older. I live in Tennessee now, but I’m originally from New York where Billie is from and he was a household name. He’s one of my favorite artist ever and I love this song so much.
'Tell her about it' and ' Uptown girl' were chart hits in the UK A few years ago - that's about all I can remember about Billy but I'm not a big music listener - this one does grow with a second hearing .
He's had way more than those 2 songs in the UK. Just the Way You Are, My life, The longest time, She's always a woman, An Innocent Man, We Didn't Start the Fire .............
I'm Australian and I lived in the UK for many years. Billy was huge in Australia (similar to the US) but not as big in the UK. Still pretty popular though.
Billy Joel charter here in the UK in the mid-1970s with songs like Just the Way You Are, Movin' Out (Anthony's Song) and She's Always a Woman from The Stranger album in 1977 and My Life in 1978 from 52nd Street, the first commercial, mass-produced CD album. Then he did not really chart again until 1980 with All for Leyna and It's Still Rock and Roll to Me from Glass Houses. He really took off here though from 1983 with his An Innocent Man album that charted five top 40 singles, including Uptown Girl as his only UK #1. From then on he did not chart to any significant number very often except for We Didn't Start the Fire in 1989, The River of Dreams and All About Soul in 1993 and in between, a cover of Elvis Presley's All Shook Up in 1992 from the soundtrack to the film Honeymoon in Vegas. I think especially as he and his fanbase aged, his albums would sell better than his singles with older fans tending to have more disposable income. So buying the more expensive album meant that they got all of the future released singles anyway, whereas younger fans with less disposable income or casual fans who might only be aware of or just have liked certain individual songs, were more inclined to buy the singles.
Piano Man da giovane "live" era un portento incredibile ... Anche se molti critici per moda o per incompetenza preferivano altri .... LUI è l'unico artista che ha solo gioielli nel suo repertorio ... Di ogni genere ( compresa musica classica ) .... Altri magari erano più belli o più effeminati o di moda .... Lui ha sempre fatto MUSICA
