anyone else digging Billy Joel? I do like this song, but I think he got sued over it. Someone accused him of plagarism. Never heard what the outcome was, though. One of my favorite Billy Joels songs...  | |

One of my favorite Billy Joels songs... I beleive it was dismissed before going close to court. As for the song, it was good for a time, much better LIVE in concert. But as far as the Album itself, its a dreadful album, basically caused Billy to retire.

Disagree.... The album itself, River of Dreams, was a brilliant album. It was kind of a departure from Billy's usual thing in that it was a little rockier/bluesier than people were used to from him. But it was a fresh sound and the songs on that album were pretty strong. I always thought Billy "retired" partly due to a growing love for classical music and partly from just being lazy.
The song itself is indeed a great pop single. | |
