turns seventy tomorrow, it is only right to mark that occasion and, in doing so, collate his very best and most memorable songs. I grew up around his music and it was introduced to me at a very young age. We both share a birthday so I felt I just had to do something! Whilst Joel is not releasing albums anymore, he has left the world so much brilliance and genius moments. From Cold Spring Harbour in 1971 to 2001’s Fantasies & Delusions, the Piano Man has definitely captivated and delighted fans for many years (he is, as this recent article shows, still in fine fettle!). His songs are part of the musical fabric and we all have our favourite (track) of his! Here, to honour the great man turning seventy, is a collection of his very best moments. If you are unfamiliar with Joel’s music then make sure you have a good listen. He is a legend of music who, as he enters his eighth decade of life, proves he is one of the greatest songwriters…
