Billy Joel at the 91热爆
In many 91热爆 appearances, Billy talks about key compositions and hits such as Piano Man, Uptown Girl and Allentown with Zoe Ball, Jamie Cullum, Steve Wright and others.
As we celebrate his 75th birthday, Billy Joel talks about growing up in America and the influences from his surroundings and friends on his greatest touchstone songs, plus his admiration for The Beatles, The Righteous Brothers, Frankie Valli and Elton John, and his mother鈥檚 insistence that he take piano lessons at an early age.
Alongside key tracks from his multimillion selling albums Piano Man, Turnstiles, The Stranger, 52nd Street, Glass Houses, The Nylon Curtain, An Innocent Man, Storm Front and The River Of Dreams, we hear the true stories about his attendance at Woodstock and time as a cocktail pianist, his joy at seeing all ages in his audiences and what happens when he can鈥檛 remember all the lyrics to We Didn鈥檛 Start The Fire.
Billy is always great value in his chats with presenters, including Zoe Ball and the late Steve Wright, as well as musicians turned presenters Jamie Cullum and Tom Odell, Radio 1 reporter Bob Kilby and producer Malcolm Prince.
Despite mentioning that he hasn鈥檛 written or recorded a new song for decades and has no wish to do so, he surprised everyone by coming out of this self-imposed 鈥渞etirement鈥� recently to release his first new single in 17 years: a collaboration which he only promoted on radio and television in America.
