Billy JoelYou have reached my tribute page to the one and only Billy Joel.Long Island's answer to Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel fashioned his image as a hometown boy turned superstar over the course of 25 years of hard work.
Beginning as a quintessential confessional singer/songwriter, Billy Joel has gone on to render consistently well-crafted pop. Classically trained, he combines rock attitude with musicianly professionalism. Whether taking the form of rock & roll, new wave, hard-edged dance fare, Sixties nostalgia, or political statement, his songs are marked by a melodicism derived ultimately from Tin Pan Alley and Paul McCartney. His forte is the romantic ballad epitomized by his signature tune, "Just the Way You Are."
