Billy Joel: The Songwriters

Billy Joel penned immortal narratives of underdogs (the world-weary “Piano Man”, the everyday guy courting an “Uptown Girl”) and objets d’amour (“She’s Got a Way”). But beyond his own classic renditions, his eminently adaptable tunes have been interpreted by a broad range of icons, like Barry White (an R&B-soaked take on “Just the Way You Are”), Barbra Streisand (a soaring duet with Joel on “New York State of Mind”) and many others.
