Billy Joel & Boyz II Men - The Longest Time (Live At Citizens Bank Park - August 2, 2014)

Billy Joel is joined on stage by Boyz II Men for a performance of "The Longest Time" at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia on August 2, 2014.

[@owenpelesh]

I've wathced this approximately 107 times but it's always time for one more. Boyz II Men is one of the most underrated groups of all time. Billy's lyrics paired with their vocal prowess and finesse in front of a Philly audience...this clip deserves more clout then it gets

[@Doowopfanuk3]

lol im on about 20 but i can see why-remember this from a very long time ago

[@rowenhusky]

Underrated? Boyz II Men was one of the biggest groups in history. They sold like 60 million albums!

[@jayescobedo8365]

the mix of the soulful singing of Boyz to men and Billies old school rock voice is freaking amazing

[@ADIDASects]

It's one of the best confluences of singing ability and songwriting I've ever seen. One thing that makes Billy a generational talent in songwriting is that he can write based on inspirations. He was inspired to write in the do-wop style which is, obviously, not what a lounge piano player specializes in. But he is just that good. And Boyz II Men obviously acknowledge overarching songwriting ability (they covered "Yesterday" as the last track on II). So yes, this is magical and wonderful.

[@decacards5250]

Billy is just the coolest guy....ever.

[@WoodJack99]

Yes he is!

[@fanaticaldueling6337]

@Travis Nunnally Agreed, was going through a weird Elton hype during this period for some reason

[@CorynthianLeather]

"Lets see if we can do this one" - everyone absolutely procedes to NAIL it ❤

[@davidvbobb7785]

I didn't even know this existed. Now I know and my life just changed. Thank you.

[@Lisa_is_an_evil_snail]

Boyz II Men is only 3 guys and somehow sounds like a whole choir. They’re amazing! They absolutely elevated those background vocals to their highest degree

[@tymartin2293]

Facts! I wish they had Mike aka Bass with them. Billy and B2M are legends

[@DanielMonsivais-te9fl]

I wouldn't go THAT far ..

[@OptmiusPrime114]

You can't go wrong with Billy Joel and Boyz II Men!

[@colinmcphan]

So agree. Great artists!!!

My fav Billy Joel song. So glad my favorite R&B group was a part of it. Loved it.

[@tanyamarie2312]

Patricia D they made this song even more magical. LOVED them!

[@astubbornmick9656]

This was great. Billy really had a period in the early 80s where he paid homage to the 50s soul/rock/rhythm and blues. What better group (one that really always paid homage to their Philly roots) to accompany him?

[@AGo-ub8ln]

JUST LISTEN TO THOSE HARMONIES

[@michaelscalia1437]

Thing of beauty

[@kbc163]

I honestly wish artists would do these live collaborations more often. This was so fun. 👍

[@IRON5]

I agree but it's too many ego's involved now...

[@keithderosa7393]

If this doesn't bring a smile to your face then I don't know what will. Fantastic

[@HorrorBoi84]

The song was great on its own, but Boys II Men putting their flair into it makes it one of a kind!

[@doubledragon2074]

I can't believe this it's a dream come true. I am from 83 and I loved boyz II men growin up on my walkman and to have them alongside with Billy Joel ... well it's amazing.

[@calensterling4757]

When they started it was even better than I expected. Literally magic.

[@corycooldangerous]

I love that Billy needs a teleprompter haha too many hits to remember all the lyrics

[@Lesterlock99]

how about the fact he's written 100s of songs.

[@cconnelly1]

Maybe B2Men needed it...!

[@stevecass]

He admitted he didn't sing this a bunch.

[@35milesoflead]

Better to have the teleprompter than let down a few thousand fans with a sub-par performance ruined by forgetting a phrase. Jon Bon Jovi has used one for years and he is not the only one.

[@kylestarrstudent9134]

Also mind you, the last two stanzas of the song are confusing as hell if you’re performing them, and Billy Joel has even gotten them tongue twisted before lol

[@toyungu]

I did not know this existed until today and it makes me very happy!

[@KatSut1978]

They sounded fantastic together! Boyz II Men did Billy Joel right. Respect to all of them. ❤

[@NonContentMakerZ3]

Can't believe not moore people have watched this clip. Billy Joel is the most talented artist of the 20th and 21th century.

[@sethrumsey4861]

Why cant I like this a second time?!?!

[@kristinj3339]

How am I just seeing this? 👀 hello 👋 I cried 😢 thank you for what is truly a gift, Billy.

[@MrElectricwave]

Damn it! The best version ever.

[@LL-fd7xn]

I love this!!!!!!!! I remember my dad would play Billy Joel's records back in 80s. And as well loving Boyz II Men during the 90s! Sigh! Both never lost their touch!

[@user-vh3fk4nl7i]

Billy Joel is always Billy Joel. All the history up to now can be seen beyond his back, romance can be seen, emotions, principles and ideas, and the changing times, all of which can be seen together, and his own history can be seen. I think that is the strength of the shared song, and it is a very important and precious treasure that everyone can connect to one warmth and love. Here is a new look at the Longest Time shared with us.

[@joshuabyron4893]

A perfect pairing on a wonderful song in one of the great American cities. Wish I was there.

[@k_h_nobody]

Magnificent performance

[@eamonngaynor5762]

This is perfection but what can you expect from Billy Joel and boys to men are briliant

[@molly9230]

Two of the artists who I came of age to...Billy Joel and Boyz II Men. I graduated school in 1994, and Storm Front, River Of Dreams and Cooleyhighharmony were three albums that I played a lot back then...good times. Going to see Billy play in Vegas next month and NYC in October and he is ALWAYS awesome live. 👍👍👍

[@35milesoflead]

River of Dreams is almost a perfect song.

[@northerncrisp]

I wonder who the two people are that DIDN'T like this? They must live under rocks.

[@jeannineasselin2804]

One of my favorite from Billy Joel . Pure genius this a capella song ! Boys 11 Men added a new colour to it. So harmonious!

[@golfboy891]

Wow...Boyz II Men. They still ooze talent. Remember back when performers actually possessed that? :)

[@tyrannicalthesaurus4672]

The fuck are you going on about? If you think performers today arent talented it's because you're not willing to go past the very surface level of music. You completely ignore performers like Kendrick Lamar, Aesop Rock, MC Ride, Daveed Diggs, Danny Brown, etc.

[@afuzzycreature8387]

@@tyrannicalthesaurus4672 there are some that coast on technological talent but there's others that only seem that way but actually have legit vocal talent (lady gaga) but its harder to figure which is which these days and its easy to think that people are riding on looks or a cultural fit rather than vocal and musical execution

[@IanBenedict]

There's still plenty of incredibly talented musicians in the independent music scene. Many would rather take advantage of small record labels or record their music on their own so they don't have to sign away their creative life to some corporate clusterfuck. You just have to look harder b/c they're not gonna be on the radio

[@johnwebster5740]

Music now is more based on what you can play in a club lol.

[@Notorious_BJC]

This is something I never knew I needed until I saw it and now am so happy it exists.

[@JanuWaray]

I was smiling - my heart was smiling while listening to this version from start to finish. Billy Joel + Boyz II Men is simply an incredible combination of excellent voices! What a treat!!!

[@starbeautysix3967]

Love this song. Boys to men still can harmonize so good. This is classic miss real music like this greeze what happened to good music I want this back pleaseeee

[@bonifacioandres6312]

Auto Tune happened😂

[@WidarsHall]

There's still great non-autotuned music, it's just not as popular and aggressively marketed as the shite, so you have to dig a bit. But it's there.

[@stephaniecleckley6678]

WidarsHall it’s there when I play the music from the 60’s 70’s 80’s 90’s and early 2000’s generation. That’s how I keep it out there by taking it wayyyyyy back girl!!!!!

[@aaronmueller5542]

It shouldn't even matter, but holy smokes, this song is amazing in this key.

that's true, but I'm pretty sure he knew he was the GOAT in the 80s. He's the 4th best selling artist in the United States to this day, after Garth Brooks, Elvis, and Michael Jackson.
