I had heard a lot of Billy Joel songs, "Piano Man", "It's Still Rock And Roll To Me", "Just The Way You Are" and a few more so I knew about him. Upon research I gained more respect for the man, from humble beginnings and a few upheavals he remains one of the best singer songwriters of all time. In 1983 I heard "Tell Her About It" and the mega hit "Uptown Girl" and for the first time I bought a Billy Joel album. In 1983 I was open to all genres of music so when I had "An Innocent Man" I pretty much played it to death and bought his Greatest Hits Vol 1 and 2 set soon after to hear more of the man. The album had Soul, Motown and 50s and 60s tributes all over it, catchy songs and emotive ballads that made Billy an 80s global star.
