Billy Joel Collection - Piano Man
The Piano Man is the most recognizable song in Billy's repertoire. You can identify with this song, we’ve all been to a bar, we probably know a John at the bar, or the waitress practicing politics or that businessmen that is getting stoned. The greatest line being “they’re sharing a drink they call loneliness, but it's better than drinkin' alone. The song was based off his real work experiences playing the piano at a bar in LA.
It is now a highlight of Joel's live shows, where he usually allows the audience to sing the chorus. In 2015, the Library of Congress selected "Piano Man" for preservation in the National Recording Registry for its "cultural, historic, or artistic significance".
