My friends got married in '01 and this was their wedding song. The lasting power was amazing.

Billy Joel is one of the greatest song writers of all time. I was born in 1973 so I was raised on his music and a lot of other greats.

I love that song!!

Just pure, untainted, beautiful words to say to someone...couples, husband's, wives, need to come back to this...not like today where some call their supposed loved one bitches etc. You seem like a beautiful couple..never call each other outside of your names..love you guys..💞✌

Billy Joel. Truly the BEST. He is just as good live, if not better. I would recommend the live version of "New York State of Mind" at The Old Grey Whistle Test for pure BLUES and sax. I love your reactions. So thoughtful and insightful.

Yes! His piano playing on New York State of Mind at the OGWT is superb.

A beautiful, romantic love song from Billy Joel! The sax is always sexy!

One of today's few geniuses in music in recent memory...

Some of my favorite Billy Joel songs: She's Always A Woman The Longest Time Uptown Girl My Life Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)

"River Of Dreams".......is a beautiful, upbeat, 100% Gospel song!!!......complete with gospel singers on the track........He doesn't just humm like a Gospel singer!!

He is smooth that is what I think you were meaning

This is one of my favorite Billy Joel songs so 🔥🔥🔥

He's got a wide range of song styles, tempos, themes, attitudes and so on. I recommend River of Dreams (with official video), Matter of Trust (official video - - a lot of fun), We Didn't Start the Fire (video), Big Shot (official video or live), Goodnight Saigon (video or live), Pressure (original recording is best). That's a pretty good start.

You should hear him sing “she’s got a way”

If you want to see some insane piano skills check out PRELUDE/ANGRY YOUNG MAN by Billy Joel. It’s 🔥.

Love his music. Check out River Of Dreams.

"Say Goodbye to Hollywood" ( Live at Sparks) 1981 is another awesome Billy Joel hit that's more upbeat.

Honesty is another banger by Billy Joel worth reacting to!

Scenes From An Italian Restaurant and Anthony’s Song

“She’s Always A Woman To Me” was always one of my favourites, and “Innocent Man” ❤️

5:34 hey lassie ,is that a wee tear you are trying to discreetly wipe away? 😜😂 Beautiful tune troops ❤️

Written by Billy Joel. Produced by the late Phil Ramone. Billy Joel has the upper range 😃. Sax solo. 😃 The lush orchestration (strings and/or synthesizer) starts with I'm Not in Love written by Eric Stewart and Graham Gouldman in 1975. That song led to this song in 1977 (45 years ago 🎂). This song led to Waiting for a Girl Like You 👧, written by Lou Gramm and Mick Jones, produced by Mick Jones and Mutt Lange in 1981, which led to Drive written by the late Ric Ocasek, produced by him , the rest of The Cars and Mutt Lange. RIP Phil Ramone and Ric Ocasek. 4 great 👍 songs . 2 of them produced by Mutt Lange. All of them are still played often in radio 📻 around the world 🌎. I suggest that you react to the others on this list of influences. Suggested next Billy Joel video 📹 Honestly. Good 👍 video 📹 reaction 😆

React to Billy Joel smash loud rock guitar hit song A MATTER OF TRUST

Love his music

Played at a lot of Weddings!

My all-time favorite Billy Joel song. One of the best love songs written IMO.

TRY billyJoel's "Pressure" & "Good Night Saigon " by BillyJoel Actually the KeenedyHonors to Billy Joel where "Goodnight Saigon " was covered & performed for Kennedy Honor Billy Joel.

Billy Joel - "Honesty".

It's reality of a relationship

Fantastic lyrics 👏❤

Peace

The man is a legend.

Another great & fun song by Billy Joel...Still Rock-N-Roll to Me!

hey shes back. i love you...!!! Love you both. Love from Samoa

You MUST react to Billy Joel's She's Got A Way"

i love this freaking song!@

A Matter of Trust is my favorite Billy Joel song

This is from one of those super iconic albums: Born to Run, Bridge over troubled Water come to mind. Maybe only a couple B-sides [old 45 rpm joke] out on the song list. I was at a Joel concert like 1978 doing the whole album, and in a regional theatre that would present travel company Broadway shows. A really nice, acoustical quality, so the sound was marvelous. We got lucky, the album had just started to break out, so like on the ground floor of its success and the whole "oh wow" thing for album, it's that good... We were there as much because of "Piano Man"

I think you'd enjoy his song "Only the Good Die Young"

❤❤

memorial day is coming up Monday! his song "Goodnight Saigon" will play for ever in my mind! please consider doing a video tribute to this!

Please please react to Joel's LONGEST TIME & INNOCENT MAN. You'll love them!

"Big Shot" & "Pressure".......both have a SICK, aggressive, rock/funk beats that I think will SURPRISE u.....(& you'll luv them)

React to Innocent Man by Billy Joel.

This song was the official demo song for like every electric keyboard growing up. You would press demo and hear this on the organ. So fun.

His best song is Pressure And We didn't start the fire

Great review as always. I recommend New York State of Mind, live version. It's my fav Billy Joel.

You should check out the live version of Scenes from a Italian Restaurant. Fantastic performance.

You want blues, try "New York state of mind".

What I have found is a good singer doesn't have to be "loud" to be great. It's all in their style and how they make the song their own. Gordon Lightfoot is an awesome singer too and he's never loud. Check out Gordon's "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald".

Billy Joel is the George Gershwin of his generation. One of the few that really knew his music theory and jazz chords/progressions and how to use them, even in his rock songs, and still write excellent themes, and lyrics, never getting bogged down by just one style of music. An all around expert talent. Something extremely lacking in corporate controlled computer controlled music of today, with a few exceptions like Norah Jones, Adelle...i recommend listening to Lullaby [Goodnight My Angel]...in light of the recent school shooting in Texas, it may break your heart.

' i don't want clever conversation ' always cracks me up, who takes that as a compliment?

I think y'all would dig The Stranger by Billy Joel. It's the self titled track off the album. It's legit.

Mm! This version hits even more than the studio version.

Need to do Billy's "NY State of Mind" live.....it's FIRE!!!

You need to react to his song Until the Night from his album 52nd Street. I promise you won't be disappointed.

Not nearly enough reacts to “Goodbye Saigon”. There is a great live version on KZread, but the studio version is great too.

Been waiting for you to react to this one. Love, love, love, love, love this song! You should check out Barry White's version.

You need to check out "New York State of Mind" live. It is early in his career and the vibe is so smooth. Really worth checking out.

👋🏻♥️

We Didn't Start the Fire...The video NOT the live version

"don't change the color of your hair", it's unbelievable how many girls today, or boys for that matter, have their hair dyed in so many unnatural colors trying to change what they are, people have learned to not be happy or accept who they are and find the God given happiness in it and ty to change everything about themselves, what a lesson this song is to the people of this day and time. Love each other for who they are, not what they look like.

Do Immortal Technique "Civil War"

I love Billy's music. One of my favorite musician/songwriter/singers ever. If you want to see/hear a real smooth and powerful performance, he has a famous song called "New York State of Mind" (being from New York himself). He did a performance of this song in tribute to 9/11 and the NYFD. kzread.info/dash/bejne/i6Cs2Y-nd5i8h6w.html

React to Dougie b - brotherly love

React to Kenzo balla - ready to blitz

Y’all have to react to Den beatbox Twisted Fate

So there was a joke made about the idea that he wrote this song when he was dating Christie Brinkley; "I want you just the way you are"...she was a super model, one of the most attractive/sexy women in this era, so was he really making much of a sacrifice in accepting her just the way she was?? (lol). Cheers guys, hope you're well.

Actually, Billy Joel didn't know Christie Brinkley when he wrote this song. The song was released in 1977 and Joel and Brinkley first met in 1983. He actually wrote the song for his first wife (and business manager) Elizabeth Weber.

Did anyone mention Captain Jack?

Chris, Love your comments. Speak up more and louder.

He wrote this song for his wife, and she immediately divorced him months later. She also, claiming it was a song for her, took the music rights to this song and she claimed all the royalties. Great song, bad time for Billy.

That is not true. He wrote the song for her in 1977. They divorced in 1982. But the rest is true, she was a b!tch.

Pensate che questo gioiello è una delle meno belle di Joel

This is just about the emptiest reaction ever.

Billy wrote this for his wife. He divorced shortly after 🤷‍♂️

Churchy ??? I don't think so.

Sad that you don't understand the meaning of this song! Perhaps I'm an old romantic

Guy, you have no feel - give the mike to your gal, and get real !!!

Doubt it's churchy because Billy Joel is Jewish

Now cmon' brah you know yo' ass fell asleep in church if you think the song resembles anything close to gospel humming included.

Seriously could the girl reactor look any less interested? If youre bored then dont listen to the music. Otherwise show a little life other than looking like youd rather be doing anything else.

The studio version is excellent 2!!!
