and probably his most emotionally moving song once you know the background of it... I'd be honored if some Billy Joel fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of his classic compositions ALLENTOWN and VIENNA on my channel in tribute to the master. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Thanks and peace.

"I can always find my cuban skies, in Rosalinda's eyes." What a brilliant quote. He refers to the 1940's for this. When the war began, many were wanting to flee Europe, having their dream destination as the United States. To get there they needed to come through Cuba. The Cuban skies in this quote represents freedom, so every time he looks into his mums eyes, he sees freedom, because when the fleers reached Cuba, they saw freedom.

Great comment- I've loved this song for many years but hadn't ever put the meaning together. It's a shame since my mother was named Rose, was born in Cuba after her parents left Eastern Europe in the early 20th century. they all came to the United States in the 1940s.

Rosalinda's Eyes" I play nights in the Spanish part of town I've got music in my hands The work is hard to find But that don't get me down Rosalinda understands Crazy Latin dancing solo down in Herald Square Oh Havana I've been searching for you everywhere And though I'll never be there I know what I would see there I can always find my Cuban skies In Rosalinda's eyes When she smiles she gives everything to me When she's all alone she cries And I'd do anything to take away her tears Because they're Rosalinda's eyes Senorita don't be lonely, I will soon be there Oh Havana I've been searching for you everywhere I've got a chance to make it It's time for me to take it I'll return before the fire dies In Rosalinda's eyes All alone in a Puerto Rican band Union wages, wedding clothes Hardly anyone has seen how good I am But Rosalinda says she knows Crazy Latin dancing solo down in Herald Square Oh Havana I've been searching for you everywhere And though I'll never be there I know what I would see there I can always find my Cuban skies In Rosalinda's eyes

I just thought of this song for the first time in years, and when my sister gave me this album for my birthday, as a teenager, I liked this song very much. When she gave it to me, it was opened, and I asked her why is it open, and she said that she listened to it to make sure it wasn't scratched, That was actually a good idea. I still have this album. Btw, it's Rosalinda's Eyes not Rosalind's Eyes!

Rest In Peace to my sister Beverly who introduced me to Billy Joel as small kids in NC Atlantic City NJ. There was no black radio there in the early 70’s and it opened my musical pallet up to the extreme. I enjoyed this album ever since she got it in the mail for a penny with Columbia’s Clearing House. 11 albums for a penny. 🤣 I enjoyed him, Barry Manilow, The Bee Gees, Manfred Mann, Starlight Vocal Band, Chicago, 10cc, Boston, Pablo Cruise, Atlanta Rhythm Section, Steely Dan, England Dan and John Ford Cooley, Blue Oyster Cult and all the blue eyed soul you could think of. What a life. Thank you Beverly!! Thanks for Billy Joel. 🖤

I'm so disappointed it took me until my 55th year on the planet to hear this song for the first time. Now I'm 56 and I've heard it a thousand times. What swagger and confidence as a songwriter! I can just tell Billy knew he was nailing it, was on a killer roll, whatever. These chord changes are so amazing, when the intro arpeggios go into the verses I collapse. Almost too cool and beautiful.

This is one of my Billy´s favorite tracks. I have always wondered why he has not played this song live since 1979. One of his most underrated tracks. When he does those gigs in MSG and masterclasses nobody ever asks him to play this song or either ask his stories about writing song, I know it is about his mother but still would be interesting to hear something else. I have been listening his Siriusxm channel lately a lot but still nothing about this track but I would recommend to listen the channel it is pure gold for your ears.

So when I was a kid, my father and I bonded over music and buying albums together at the record store. I was nine years old or so when this Billy Joel album was released. I listened inside upside down, every which way to every song and this one always stuck with me. Just because it wasn’t a hit like the other songs. So yes I’m with you. It’s romantic this song.

As far as I've heard in the last 50 years, Joel is still the best songwriter around to appeal to the widest audience. I couldn't believe what his ex-wives and others did to him. Regardless you are and will be a legend, I hope you know that after your Kennedy center honors!!
