Yeah, about 95% of the time. In concert, and very very occasionally on his Greatest Hits albums, he'll do covers of other peoples' songs. But he's a singer-songwriter through and through, and he writes his own material.

Billy was originally planning on being a musical composer and writer. He never wanted to be on stage singing. He just wanted to write songs for others to sing. Eventually, with a lot of encouragement, he made his way to the stage. The rest as you say is history. Definitely check out the documentaries about his life. He was married to Christie Brinkley. They brought music to the Soviet Union before the iron curtain came down. They still love him over there for the time he spent there.

Billy Joel is an AMAZING singer, song-writer and musician.

Another great song of his along those lines (and my personal favorite love song of his) is "And So It Goes". Please check it out! I just found your page last night and I've been cruising through your Billy Joel reactions especially (and catching a few others along the way too) and I've already subscribed.

In an endless sea of noisy "guitar heroes," for decades now, Billy Joel and Elton John have brought both genius and class to songwriting and resurrected the piano itself as an instrument of extremes status and importance once again, not as just an instrument of accompaniment. Truly gifted musicians who really know their music theory beyond the typical 3 or 4 "wonder chords," and prolific songwriters. The difference between them is Elton didn't always write his own lyrics, that was Bernie Taupin [sp]. Billy wrote both the music and the lyrics. But both are equally talented and classy. If you want a good cry, listen to Billy Joel's "Lullaby (Goodnight My Angel)," a song to his daughter.
