Billy Joel’s classic and popular songs
Let me introduce a song by Billy Joel, the American pianist and singer-songwriter.
Influenced by his parents, he began playing the piano and worked as a pianist in a bar during high school, but he ended up failing his credits and dropping out.
At the time, he reportedly said, “I’m not going to Columbia University—I’m going to Columbia Records, so I don’t need a high school diploma.”
It shows his determination and strength of spirit—so cool, right?
One of his great charms is his powerful yet warm singing voice.
Watching him sing while playing the piano is absolutely captivating.

Billy Joel’s classic and popular songs (51–60)
Goodnight My AngelBilly Joel
A track included on the album released in 1993, River of Dreams.
Billy Joel is known as a rock singer and a pianist.
This song is a lullaby sung quietly and beautifully along with the piano.
All About SoulBilly Joel
This song was released as the second single from the album “River of Dreams.” It features Color Me Badd as guest artists and reached No.
29 on the US singles chart and No.
32 on the UK chart.
Uptown GirlBilly Joel
Billy Joel has many hit songs, but when it comes to tracks that really get the energy up at karaoke, I’d have to go with Uptown Girl.
It’s one of his more up-tempo songs, so it’s easy to get into the groove, and aside from the falsetto parts in the middle, I think most people can sing it without much trouble.
You May Be RightBilly Joel
Titled “Glass New York” in Japanese, this song is the first track on their seventh album “Glass Houses,” released in 1980.
In its somewhat nonchalant lyrics, it repeatedly questions whether the one who’s right is the singer or their lover.
NocturneBilly Joel
If you’re looking to relax at night, why not try listening to a nocturne? A nocturne is a piano piece that evokes the tranquil mood of the night.
I especially recommend “Nocturne,” included on one of Billy Joel’s albums.
It serves as a kind of cooling-off interlude between tracks on the album.
Its piano melody is soothing and will melt away your fatigue.
If possible, listen to it together with the surrounding tracks on the album.
