Billy Joel

William Martin Joel (born May 9, 1949 in The Bronx, New York), better known as Billy Joel, is a globally-recognized pianist, singer and songwriter. He produced pop music hits from 1973 (beginning with the single "Piano Man") to his retirement from the genre in 1993. He has continued to tour occasionally (usually with Elton John) in addition to writing and recording classical music.

Master Classes

Like his appearance on James Lipton's "Inside the Actor's Studio," Billy Joel has been passing on his hard-learned experience with the music industry and as an artist to a new generation. Some of these have been recorded and are available, such as the fourth CD in his Box Set. He is reportedly a very funny speaker and the class is as entertaining as a Billy Joel concert.
