Tonight’s playlist is “part 1”, consisting of Joel’s biggest hits up until 1982. There will soon be a “part 2” as soon as next week, so please don’t post any Billy Joel music from 1982 on in the comments section. Grazie.

This first track – his first single – didn’t chart in 1971, and isn’t quite like the version you’re used to hearing, which did chart in 1981. That track is last in tonight’s playlist.
