That guy is a successful musician now. He wrote Maroon 5’s ‘Memories’.

Hard to believe it’s been 10 years since this incredible event happened. Mad respect to Billy Joel for graciously letting Michael Pollack accompany him on the piano and seeing talent in him. Michael is an insanely great piano player, much like Billy himself, and I’m glad this performance led to him becoming a professional songwriter.

Even today, after all these decades, Billy's voice is still 100% rock solid.

"Guy's got chops" Coming from Billy Joel, these are the highest words of praise.. Great moment.

All I saw was in Billy’s eyes thinking...”man , that’s a great song I wrote and this kid is nailing it”......

There are few times in your life where you have to go "all in" and hope that you're up to the challenge. This was one of those times for that young man - and a classy move by Billy to let him play.

I like how Billy Joel just says "Okay ".

This is what happens when a musical savant meets a savant. This song is extremely difficult to play properly. It's as technical as a modern day piece comes. Big jazz chords out of a Billy Joel music book. The kid plays more than whats printed on Joel's sheet music. If you play...you can tell in the first 2 seconds, this kid couples the chords with improvision. This video is an exceptional example of nothing short of pure musical talent. Literally Incredible!

It's so important for established artists to recognize and give opportunity to the next generation. I just absolutely adore Billy Joel for this opportunity he granted -- the graciousness and lack of ego in letting some complete stranger come up on stage at YOUR concert and deliver an absolutely wonderful rendition of one of your most beloved songs -- that takes a special person. It's inspiring, and it's wonderful.

What a class act by Billy Joel. Many artists are not willing to do something like this. It makes the ones who are willing to do so even more relatable.

"You are gonna do fine", Billy Joel said. He sure did. After this video went viral he signed a deal with warner chapell music and has since written songs for Maroon 5, Bieber, Celine Dion, and Miley Cyrus amongst others. In february 2020 he got his first Top 40 radio #1 with Maroon 5 and the song "Memories".

That was nice and it was a nice surprise that this Michael Pollock had amazing chops to make it sound as good as it did. That is not ordinary piano playing by any means.
