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.
