Legends of Rock & Roll - Billy Joel

by James Hoag

Overview

Billy Joel is one of the very best performers and song writers of the past 40 years. He has published an enormous amount of work on record, CD and DVD. His music defines a generation.

Billy Joel was born in 1949 and is still active today. Influenced by people like the Beatles and Dave Brubeck, he writes music which is understood by the common man. In this tribute to his life and music, I talk about the events which defined him as a person and as a musician. I also discuss most of the music which he has produced.
