About Playlist
The Piano Man Billy Joe was born in 1949, in the Bronx, NY, and learned to play the instrument at a very young age. With his second album, Piano Man (Columbia, 1973), Joel achieved commercial success (and his nickname), thanks to the eponymous title track—based on his own experiences— that tells the stories of a bar musician. Billy Joel's songs tell stories. Of love, money, work problems, war and political discord.
Considered one of the best singer-songwriters of his time, Joel has won numerous awards (including five Grammys from 23 nominations). With the exception of his album of classical compositions Fantasies & Delusions released in 2001, Billy Joel has not released any new material since 1993 and continues to tour with his '70s and '80s hits, which we highlight in this playlist.
