Unlike most composers, Billy Joels lyrics told stories and not silly word salads.

EXACTLY, I consider him a modern day troubadour.

Innocent Man, Piano Man, Uptown Girl, Lullaby, We Didn’t Start the Fire……

His is a rare talent.

His is a rare talent.

There's a good reason he was awarded the Gershwin Prize. His songs will no doubt become part of the Great American Songbook.
