Off one of my favorite albums, Turnstiles, and always a concert favorite. Streetlife Serenade and Turnstiles are two great bookend albums that should always be played back to back. Lyrically he Joel was hitting strides in those years. His next album would be The Stranger and after that he took off. I never understood why he never gets the kind of recognition as Elton John or Springsteen, who knows, maybe its because he's such a prick. I love this song and I love this era of Billy Joel music. It s around this time in his career that he put together the musicians that would be with him till Storm Front, they all really gel here.
