The “Piano Man” Billy Joel became a successful recording artist back in the 1970s — and he has continued enjoying an impressive music career ever since. The now 70 year old’s numerous hit songs include “Just the Way You Are,” “Vienna,” “Only the Good Die Young,” “She’s Always a Woman,” and “Scenes form an Italian Restaurant” (reportedly his favorite). Joel has sold more than 150 million records worldwide.
Quote: “I think music in itself is healing. It’s an explosive expression of humanity. It’s something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we’re from, everyone loves music.” | “If you make music for the human needs you have within yourself, then you do it for all humans who need the same things. You enrich humanity with the profound expression of these feelings.”
