In Celebration of the Human Voice - The Essential Musical Instrument

Billy Joel

Born: 1949. Living in: United States

Joel recorded many popular hit songs and albums from 1973 (beginning with the single "Piano Man") to his retirement from recording pop music in 1993. He is one of the very few rock or even pop artists to have Top 10 hits in the '70s, '80s, and '90s. A six-time Grammy Award winner, he has sold in excess of 100 million records worldwide and is the sixth best selling artist in the United States, according to the RIAA. Joel's induction into the Songwriter's Hall of Fame (Class of 1992), the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (Class of 1999), and the Long Island Music Hall of Fame (Class of 2006) has further solidified his status as one of America's leading music icons. He has continued to tour occasionally (sometimes with Elton John) in addition to writing and recording classical music.

Billy Joel : To Make You Feel My Love

Bob Dylan's songs often tell a story, and in this case, the story is told in a deeply melodic and affecting manner. There's nothing that I wouldn't do will likely hit a personal nerve for many of your listeners who have a loved one of their own.
