"She's Always a Woman", "She's Got a Way", and "For the Longest Time" are three of my favorites.

[@juliewhite7469]

Excellent suggestions ❤😊

[@pattyice78]

I agree for the longest time

[@RuthBair-ht1fj]

Great suggestions

[@aceblades8679]

She’s got a way is one of my favorite.

[@venchee4906]

I second "She's Got a Way". That's the one.

[@amishgirl1000]

My favourite Billy Joel song. One of the most beautiful love songs ever.

[@moomoo991]

Same here it's such a beautiful song

[@gotham61]

The Old Grey Whistle Test was a weekly TV music show during the 70s and 80s on the BBC in the UK. Unlike most other shows of the era, the bands and artists always performed live, with no lip syncing. The sax player here is Richie Cannata.

[@sallyphillips9175]

In the U.S., we had "The Midnight Special," which was pretty much the same.

[@andymageen5308]

Great video from a great show, TOGWT, was hosted by DJ Bob Harris and always featured live music of the time. For many UK residents this show was our first exposure to top American talent, like Billy Joel or Bruce Springsteen, but mainly the show was a steady diet of British Prog Rock of the Era and there are some amazing performances that were captured back when musicians could reproduce the record on stage as well as the studio ✌️

[@ddgardner5671]

The great Phil Woods is the sax player on the studio recording.

[@andreaschmall5560]

I doubt that Blly Joel EVER used lip syncing throughout his entire career.

[@auldfouter8661]

It was on fairly late on Thursday evenings and an epic , pick of the year show , every Hogmanay.

[@lisaj6728]

“Always a Woman”, “Downeaster Alexa”, “Say Goodbye to Hollywood”…and this one, are some of my favorite Billy Joel songs.

[@sabrinapittsley2304]

[@rharvey2124]

BIG STUFF IS A GREAT SONG. Great Joel song.

[@O_Towne_Bear]

@@rharvey2124 They did it

[@Zane1962]

This is a prime example of why artists were so much better than today's artists. They had to be just as good live as recorded, if not even better!

[@minxiv7]

Love Downeaster Alexa!

[@SpiderMcGee]

The Stranger album is a masterpiece. Can't go wrong with any song from there.

[@Johnny_Socko]

My dad played that album nonstop for the entire summer after it came out, so it is a massive part of my childhood, and remains one of my favorite albums by anyone of any genre.

[@matthewfield4029]

This was the song my wife and I had our first dance to at our wedding, 18 years ago. It was also my late grandfather's favorite song. My wife and I now live in what was his house. Thank you for reacting to this wonderful song that is so significant to my family.

[@OzGecko]

My wife and I had this as our first dance too, 36 years ago 😊 Still hold the sentiment close to our hearts too.

[@LA80sMike]

Same here!! 20 years married and still going…talk about a perfect song..

[@gaylecooley3630]

We did too!

[@pauljt29]

And we did. Just over 6 years ago. Amazingly beautiful song😊

[@RickeyWilkersonVoices]

"Honesty" "She's Got A Way" and "You May Be Right" are three of my favorites from Mr.Joel's hit filled catalog!

[@juliewhite7469]

❤😊❤

[@hollyluyah]

Honesty will always be one of my favorites 🤩

[@RickeyWilkersonVoices]

@@hollyluyah Mine too!

[@JuanGarnicaVera]

Up town girl is a must...

[@minxiv7]

“You May Be Right” is another amazing Billy Joel classic!

[@thomashorton5715]

You have to do Billy Joel’s New York State of mind, the old gray whistle test

[@kelly9876]

yes, the live version is so good!!

[@carolientjejosefientje1684]

Great choice, but how about The Entertainer? Love that song live too

[@justmoose6534]

This song was huge. Won grammy awards in 1979 for record of the year and song of the year.

[@Uruguay23]

Bellísima y dulce canción! La amo! Maravillosos recuerdos de mi año 1978! Me encanta Billy Joel!

[@emmy6956]

I think you guys would love his song, "Lullaby" 😊 Written for his daughter and just beautiful. And "Longest Time" is a MUST!! It's an acapella that he sings all the vocals for.

[@t.lee.p9182]

I think they did a reaction to that song ❤awww, isn't that such a sweet song

[@kazzablues]

I second The Longest Time!

[@PhysicalMediaPreventsWea-bx1zm]

My suggestion is Goodnight Saigon, Billy's stirring and powerful tribute to soldiers who fought in Vietnam

[@RobertoSantana61]

Probably the most emotionally charged song ever. Says more in 4 minutes than a 2 hour war movie or documentary.

[@jdw5678]

A great song, almost epic, but tough to listen to, especially if you know the story of what often happened to soldiers in 'Nam.

[@JasonBreitkopf]

“Just the Way You Are” won the 1977 Grammys for Best Song and Best Record.

[@kerrytrager4957]

I absolutely love Billy Joel’s song “A Matter of Trust”

[@ernestheron2008]

my favorite BJ song is matter of trust along with honesty and just the way you are..brilliant!

[@deniseg812]

The Entertainer has some great lyrics

[@lt6134]

Just saw him live in Phoenix last month. He still can sing all of his songs and sound exactly the same. He did this song too. So many hits!

[@RobertSmith-iw2kb]

Enough with the reaction police😅

[@jamesmorrison7692]

A great, #1 hit for Billy in 1977, off one of his best albums The Stranger. It’s truly a great song, and still holds up today. Thanks for the trip down memory lane! Great job you two!

[@lwh7301]

Did not hit #1.

[@Eric4471066]

This song peaked at the #3 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart during the spring of 1978. The song was Billy Joel's biggest hit song in the late 1970s until It's Still Rock & Roll To Me went to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the early spring of 1980. A beautiful song indeed!!!

[@AngelaGoodwin-fh6fw]

"Innocent Man" is also a very moving song.

[@EricRoseBahamas]

One of my favourite popular Billy Joel songs. You may love "SUMMER, HIGHLAND FALLS". Waving from The Bahamas 🇧🇸

[@joelliebler5690]

Summer Highland Fall is very special!

[@SK-lk3iu]

Yes, fantastic piano work on that one!

[@boomeister2]

Billy Joel wrote "Just The Way You Are" about his first wife, Elizabeth. A pure expression of unconditional love, he gave it to her as a birthday present. He also wrote "She's Always a Woman" and "She's Got a Way" for Elizabeth as well.

[@josephscally6270]

From the same concert there is a rendition of "New York State of mind" which is just remarkable and really showcases his piano abilities. The thing about music is that it's kind of like a time capsule. I can remember the chapter of my life when this song was popular and was on the radio quite often. I love that music can do that.

[@monolithic87]

Have y'all done Billy Joel's 'The Longest Time' yet? If not, do a reaction to the official music video. I promise, you'll both love it. 😎

[@RockaRolla1971]

Agreed

[@Lynsey77]

Yep came here to recommend it too.

[@haroldwhisenhunt40]

Billy Joel is one of the best American songwriters of all time

[@timward3116]

For years, this was everyone's favorite at wedding receptions. There probably wasn't a single wedding where this wasn't the first song played at the reception. Sometimes, it was even played at the wedding ceremony itself. Truly one of the greatest love songs ever written.

[@BillGraper]

Big hit from my kindergarten year. Gotta love it!!! I'm still waiting for my favorite, "The Longest Time." It's acapella, and everything is done by Billy Joel. The bass is the only instrument.

[@mimomof2]

Only the Good Die Young is another upbeat fun one. Listening to this one has made me a little emotional today. So beautiful!

[@valderjasmins5757]

Love Billy...great song pick...I'm so excited I'm seeing him in June at Madison Square Garden for my son's birthday...my 19yo loves Billy Joel ❤️

[@JohnLGladden]

Saw him at MSG back in 2014 for his 65th bday concert. Was an awesome experience. I’m sure you’ll both love it. Enjoy!

[@linzirainbow6577]

Barry White also did justice to this fantastic song. Had it on 12" white vinyl, hopefully still do.

[@blackblake3658]

A nice cover.

[@Xiroi87]

That was an excellent version with a luxurious arrangement.

[@carolstrathern8340]

I still have the white vinyl 12 inch single too. Prefer Barry's version to Billy's though. Not taking anything away from Billy. 😊

[@seanscanlon9067]

@@carolstrathern8340 Just out of interest, did you hear Billy's version first?

[@carolstrathern8340]

[@KarlKraus1]

According to your Reactions app, you've reacted to this song already, almost exactly a year ago Anyway, I want you to react to "The Longest Time" next, a song that gets near the end of his prime It's a lovely little song that contains plenty of beautiful harmony that you'll enjoy

[@vinsanity40k]

some songs are just too good to react only once 😄

[@kathyastrom1315]

I saw hm in concert when The Longest Time album was released. The whole band gathered around in a half-circle and sang that acapella and it was just perfect!

[@juliewhite7469]

​@@kathyastrom1315cool 😎!!!

[@blitz3643]

Yeah a little odd that it didn't sound at least slightly familiar since they liked it so much.

[@frauleinmona]

@@blitz3643 Yeah. I'm surprised they didn't recognize it. LOL

[@HectorJulio-xo5bd]

In the original record version the sax solo was played by the legendary Phil Woods. It's considered one of the best structured soloes of pop music.

[@JDdiGriz]

I would love to see you guys react to Billy Joel's "Goodnight Saigon". I'm not sure how big a hit it was, but that song means a lot to so many people.

[@JoyceBrink]

A very popular song played at weddings.

[@surlechapeau]

Jay/Amber, you'll LOVE his "The Stranger", "All About Soul", "Only The Good Die Young" and "She's Always A Woman" !!!! His album "The Stranger" is in my top 5 of all-time!! edit- A double dip on today's song, you did this one on Jan 29, 2023 also. Jay, Carole King is great, but had help on lyrics by Gerry Goffin and others. Most songs are written on piano, not always by singers.

[@kevinm4022]

I totally agree. My brother bought the record when it came out and it made me a fan. Its on my list of records i need to get

[@johnmaynardable]

Carole King had quite a healthy part of her career without Gerry Goffin's assistance.

[@surlechapeau]

@@johnmaynardable true. David Palmer and Toni Stern assisted on a few of her hits too. Carole wrote many by herself.

[@myownchannel247]

Thought they already did this one, glad they saw the live version 👍

[@ronlopo6269]

Guys you still haven't tried ---- Billy Joel & Ray Charles----- MY BABY GRAND

[@jacksonfiretn]

Wow...what an awesome "live" performance with flawless vocals.

[@donnakubiski5572]

Didn't realize you hadn't reacted to this yet. One of my favorites. I don't think you've heard "She's Always A Woman" which is off the same album. Also one of my favorites and deserves a listen if you haven't.

[@tanisdevelopment]

They reacted to the studio version. They must have forgotten.

[@donnakubiski5572]

​@@tanisdevelopment You are absolutely correct. I looked it up and they reacted to it Jan. 29th of last year. I watch many reaction channels and can't remember every song that everyone has done, but you'd think they would have remembered. I guess after listening to 3 songs a day every day, they have too many songs in their head.😊 .

[@tanisdevelopment]

@@donnakubiski5572 It probably seemed familiar to them, but they may have thought they'd just heard it somewhere else.

[@elizabethwood9409]

I heard my dad sing this so many times when I was growing up. I love this song because it reminds me of him. ❤️

[@yvonnemendez3075]

Beautiful song luv how he sings this😅❤

[@allieren]

Still putting in my vote for “Downeaster Alexa.” 😊 And I just realized, I don’t think you’ve done “New York State Of Mind” yet! The version of that song from The Old Grey Whistle Test is a must

[@oldnerdreviews]

This one, "My Life," "Honesty," and "Scenes From an Italian Restaurant" are my favorite Billy Joel tunes.

[@sampa2nyc]

Billy Joel is a master at his craft and yes many of his songs are deeply introspective. "Vienna", "New York State of Mind" and "Lullaby (Goodnight My Angel)" and "And So it Goes" are some of my favorites.

[@tensiacovino4676]

Still my favorite Billy Joel song- never tire of it.

[@auralfixxation6702]

It wasn't until I got a little older did I realize, just how good he is.

[@adamparr6464]

“The Stranger” is an awesome album from start to finish!!!

[@leomagitz2321]

This is a wonderful song, and this live version is awesome!!

[@Great-Documentaries]

I have to admit, I did not foresee a day when Jay would connect the songwriting of the piano players (Elton/Bernie, Carole King and Billy Joel) like that. That's impressive. He is definitely learning. Regarding Billy Joel, he may not have wanted to change his plain wife, but he did divorce her shortly after this album and then married a supermodel, so there's that. But yeah, if you like this song you'll love Billy Joel's She's Always a Woman from this same era.

[@brendabowers5364]

For my husband and I, this was our song. Billy Joel is still such an incredible songwriter.

[@donkey3187]

Along with Piano Man, this song is probably his most well known, most iconic song.

[@RobertoSantana61]

This is actually one of the biggest hit singles ever, any genre, any era. For a totally different, blow your mind, Billy Joel song, try "Goodnight Saigon", not only different from anything he's ever done, it's in a class by itself, beyond a mere song.

[@sushig174]

Billy Joel New York State Of Mind is a must listen !!!!!!!

[@johnplaysgames3120]

JAY, I think I may have a new favorite Billy Joel song for you: "Pressure." It's an uptempo rocker like the other Billy Joel songs you like AND it has a sick 1980s synth riff that has a little of that "Sunglasses At Night" flavor, but faster and more aggressive. For real, don't sleep on "Pressure." It's a great Billy Joel track. In fact, I was so obsessed with the synth riff when I first heard it back in the day, it was one of the first things I learned to play on piano.

[@petercourtien4581]

My first album in 7th grade. I still have it!❤

[@johnmoser4672]

Delightful and so easy listening 🎶 ❤😊

[@MusicatUK]

'This Is The Time' is a beautiful yet underrated hit from Billy's 1986 album 'The Bridge.' Very highly recommended. :)

[@davidjames513]

This song would always be playing on the radio in ‘80 -81 on Friday afternoons as I drove to San Diego from El Centro to spend the weekend with my girlfriend/wife-to-be. She passed away in 2014 but this always reminds me of those good times.

[@queenbeedat8726]

New York State of Mind...one of Billy Joel's best...

His "New York State of Mind" from the Old Grey is a Classic!

[@anneking4656]

~ Love this song! I used to play it on the piano all the time in high school. I think I still have the sheet music…

[@ndlouder]

"And So It Goes" is an absolutely beautiful song. Almost anything from The Stranger, 52nd Street, Glass Houses and my favorite, The Nylon Curtain is superb.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG! That will totally scratch your itch, J, for an up-tempo Billy Joel rocker (studio version), and it has a great sax solo in it and that bass guitar line is just mind-blowing. His voice is incredible on it. It's from his iconic album The Stranger, which every song on that album is amazing. Including this one that you just reacted to.

[@lesgrice4419]

If you're wondering what on earth was The Old Grey Whistle Test ; When music moguls got the first cut of a record, they would play it to the doormen in grey suits, known colloquially as the old greys, guys who often were the doormen at at the in/out doors of places where musicians would sit and write songs. Any song they could recall and whistle, after having heard it a couple of times, was deemed to have passed the old grey whistle test and was destined to become a popular hit.

[@barbaragonzalez1331]

This is probably my favorite Billy Joel song of all time.

[@benjaminvlz]

The best live version of "Just the Way You Are," I've ever heard, is Billy's December 29, 1982 performance at Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York. Mark Rivera played the sax solo and he knocked it out of the park. Really, the whole concert is great. It's available on KZbin. It's worth checking out if you're a Billy Joel fan.

Stop and think about this for a moment (Jay & Amber), you jump in the car (some time in the late 70s) to go to work, or the mall, or where ever, turn on the radio ... and this song is playing. That's just how it was. We were so spoiled. And being born in that time you had no concept that it would go away. Great music was taken for granted. It was just THERE. All the time. For decades.

[@pjw5328]

If you want a rockin’ Billy Joel song, looking at what you haven’t reacted to yet I’d recommend “Only the Good Die Young,” “I Go To Extremes,” or my personal favorite, “Pressure.” All three will get your feet tapping for sure.
