@@WakaWaka2468 basic to play and basic to compose are two very different things. Don’t convince yourself that being able to play a composers music puts you on their level. You may be able to play these songs. We call can. Being able to understand why a composer selected their notes, voicings, substititions, etc. is entirely different.

‘Jungleland’ is absolutely one of the greatest songs ever written. Perhaps the best in Springsteen’s entire catalogue. Glad to hear Charlie giving it some props here!

Totally agree. Jungleland is the song I want to hear for the last 9 minutes 38 seconds or so of my life. Such a beautiful song. Massive kudos to Charlie.

One of the best interviews of Charlie Puth, asking actual questions beyond his perfect pitch. Well done Howard

Eugh. So true. All the other interviews feel like the equivalence of someone asking a colour blind person what colours things are.

There’s nothing more peaceful than watching Charlie play the piano

James Taylor, Elton John, Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen and Neil Young = Musical Prophets

I really appreciate that Charlie is such a true lover of music

Dude has mad talent.

When you realize how much of a genius Howard is for allowing Charlie to display his genius

Can you imagine a tour where he just does this? Can this be a thing please??

You can just tell how much Charlie loves and is in love with music. I love watching him. All of these interview clips are amazing.

WOW What a memory to just recall these songs out of the blue.. Incredible.

I want an album of these songs, he's incredibly talented. Truely one in a million talent.

His recall is absolutely AMAZING!!!!! For me - less of the vocal tremolo. Incredible music technician, analyst and song writer. Easy all-time top ten. Thank you for sharing!

Yep, Charlie admits he is not a great singer but his strength has always been sheer musicianship and songwriting.

The audio mix is ridiculously good

Charlie's interviews are always masterclass

Lmao Howard sitting there knowing he’s just playing and testing his knowledge of music 😂 thank you for letting him show off we love it!!👐🏼

I just decided the other day that Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me was probably my favorite Elton John song. Love his choices here as a huge Springsteen and Billy Joel fan as well.

I could watch this guy all day! Amazing vocabulary of music in that brain!

Endless talent!! I could listen to Charlie playing that piano and jamming all day 🤩

When my kids are in control of the dial and a Charlie Puth song comes on the radio, I always notice the transition. I feel like they should precede his songs with an announcement: "we interrupt the mindless drivel that dominates modern pop to bring you a tune by someone who can actually write songs." I am not at all surprised to learn that Puth has been influenced by these other great songwriters. Musically he is in a different tier from most of the other songwriters getting airplay these days.

Knowledgeable, skilled and talented in all his genres. Cool, calm and collected in his chosen music

I could listen to Charlie play different songs for hours!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

I loved this interview. Totally cool for musicians

I can watch Charlie for hours! So talented and full of knowledge.

Listening to Charlie discuss music and lyrics and seeing how lit up he is…is sheer joy for him and for us. And when he learns something new, the penny drops and keeps spinning…🇳🇿🇳🇿🐑🐑NZ

Ok, Charlie I'm gonna give your albums a listen since you're in tune with classic music from the 70's and 80's...music that existed before you were born. I've always liked some of your songs but I will give your whole albums a listen starting with your debut. You're amazing on the piano.

Charlie reminded me of some of my best songs when i was young and he played the piano so well,thanx a lot.

His playing is beautiful..

Freedom '94 has some amazing piano parts. George always found the best musicians. He was an amazing writer too. Hand to Mouth, Praying for Time, Father Figure...etc. As for Elton, "Funeral for a Friend" is his Bohemian Rhapsody his symphonic masterpiece. Incredibly powerful licks. Ok with Jungleland for Springsteen. And you could pick several from Billy, but mostly in his younger days. Most artists produce their best stuff early in their careers because they are songs they have worked on for years. .

I first became a kinda charlie fan, and then George michael (mega)fan, and when Charlie mentioned George, I was so excited. I honestly didn't know George had inspired Charlie

Fascinating. I love hearing Charlie break a song down to sections/parts...brilliant.

So good. I’m by no means a Charlie Puth fan, don’t know his music at all, but man he’s got some chops.

Hearing Charlie play Billy Joel songs makes my heart burst with all the feels. If he ever covered Billy Joel album or songs I would die of happiness. I am in my 30s, but I grew up with a dad who adored Billy Joel‘s music (my dad has played piano and guitar as a hobby since he was 15, and I grew up hearing him sing and play All About Soul, Angry Young Man and Summer, Highland Falls on the piano at home many evenings). My parents actually used to get into little tips about how often my dad was playing the piano and my mom needed his help with my three siblings and me 🤣. I know Charlie‘s entire discography, and Billy Joel’s like the back of my hand (I don’t have many peers my age who know and love Billy Joel‘s music aside from Piano Man or We Didn’t Start the Fire. Just saw Charlie in DC at the Warner Theater on 10/30, and he is so unbelievably talented. The combination of Charlie and Billy Joel would just blow my mind emotionally. The first song I ever learned the words to and sang out loud aside from a nursery rhyme was “I Go To Extremes” from a carseat at age 3. Charlie, you’re awesome! And Howard for connecting with and supporting such great artists over the years.

Charlie went to Berklee but even without that he is one of the best artists of our time.

I wish he’d do a piano cover album- that’d be amazing

OMG this is the most emotional I've ever been listening to charlie and I know all his songs

Charlie is so talented. This should have a million views

This is very captivating. He could do a live tour like this

no artist can relate. he's unique. what a genius.

This great and awesome! From greatest from older musicians. This a great homage and well deserved justice to all this musician! Coming from very smart young master, of his craft, Charlie this amazing, you deserve the success you are achieving!!!

That piece......Jungleland!!!.I tear up everytime!!

He breathes music, it's amazing! Could have watched this video for 2 hours!

A young man with an old soul. And he picked my favorite JT song and gave the shout out to Joni. He could have been born in the 60s.

The taste 🤌 And obviously really talented as well

Amazing how much I agree with Charlie

Gonna need one of these every week

Charlie has a great recall for music history. Didn’t know that about George. Genius

Howard is a phenomenal interviewer. He can get anyone to open up, and here, in the spirit of Larry King, he says so little to give the guest the space to shine. Larry King always said the problem with interviewers is their own egos. They talk too much. Howard has really honed this skill as he matured. He has brought so much dimension to guests that are often seen as one dimensional. This is an example. Harry Styles another. But there are soooo many others.

Charlie will have a career in music, front or behind, as long as he continues to breathe.

He needs to do a cover album of the songs on this clip.

My favorite? All Billy joel catalogue .... Piano Man ha tutti gioielli nel suo repertorio... 👏🎹

I love this

What a talent ❤️❤️

Musical genius 👏👏👏

Absoulutely brilliant artist. And he is so adorable. OMG.

The best Billy Joel song to me is, New York State of Mind and Scenes from an Italian Restaurant, Leace a Tender Moment Alone. Elton John to me is, Yellow Brick Road, Bennie and the Jets, Sacrifice. They both have amazing songs, but the pianos in these make the songs something unique. George Michael/Wham! Everything She Wants, Father Figure, Freedom.

2:01 love this chords coming home!

Geez this dude is crazy talented. A true artist.

Amazing.

I'd pay for CP doing a cover album.

And that's why you are succesful and so talented. Your musical knowlege, influences and reverence comes from the goats through generations which very few does it today
