billy joel

 I  would have to say that William martin Joel aka billy Joel is one of the best rockers ever in rock in roll! When Billy was a child his musical experience was  when his mother forced him to learn how to play the piano. He started playing the piano when he was only 4 years old and he kept with it; by the age of 16 he was  a pro at it. That billy  was in three bands before he could even drive a vehicle and he never finished high school he dropped out! Then in 1970 billy Joel created this first album  and it was cold spring harbor. This album wasn't very good at all and billy was  mad about this album. After that he moved to Los Angeles and stayed under the music radar for about 2 years then he started writing again. Then he had his breakout year in 1974 when he made  the album Street life serenade and in that album Billy Joel i would have to say he wrote his best song ever. That song was called piano man and that song made the top 20 hits. Another  Very good album that billy Joel made was The stranger and this album was his best because 4 of his songs in this made the billboard and all of them where in the top 25. In 1999 his sales of his songs made in to a 100 million dollars! Also that year the best thing happened to Billy Joel he was inducted in to the hall of fame of rock and roll and to top it all off That his idol Ray Charles inducted him! Some of billy Joel's songs are baby grand, Laura, this is the time, She;s right on time and Just the way you are. Billy Joel had his up and down in his life but that doesn't matter because he will go down as a great rock and roll artist in history!
