Profile:
Billy Joel was born on May 9, 1949 in the Bronx and shortly after that moved to the Levittown section of Hicksville, Long Island, New York.
He started playing piano at the age of 4.

1964, inspired by the Beatles, he joined his first own band "The Echoes", which became "The Lost Souls" in 1965 and "The Emerald Lords" in 1966. In 1967 he joined "The Hassles". After they had recorded 2 LPs, which were not successful, Billy Joel and Jon Small, the drummer of the Hassles, formed the psychedelic duo "Attila".
They released one LP without success, too.

In 1971 Billy Joel started his solo career with the LP "Cold Spring Harbour"and finally, he became famous in 1973 with his song "Piano Man".
From this point his success went on and on.

In 1993 he released his last pop album "River Of Dreams" Hereafter he only released some singles occasionally and a classical piano album in 2001.

Review by somewhereindetroit Aug 25, 2009
Billy Joel is quite simply one of the most boring, overrated, overplayed musical performers of the last 100 years. Despite being a tremendously successful singer songwriter in commercial terms, the music of Billy Joel needs to be left in the past and man kind must start walking away from music such as Bill Joel that deserves to be buried in the sands of time. The most tolerable Billy Joel is the early Billy Joel, and the less singing and more commercial, the better.
