1/2. Steve Wright presents an updated version of a 2001 series featuring American singer/songwriter Billy Joel , whose stratospheric record sales have been at odds with his consistently lacklustre pull with critics. Joel discusses in detail six of his most successful studio albums from a career that has produced the 70s and 80s hit 45s Piano Man, Just the Way You Are, She's Always a Woman, My Life, It's Still Rock 'n' Roll to Me, Tell Her about It, Uptown Girl, An Innocent Man, We Didn't Start the Fire and The River of Dreams.
This first programme looks at the LPs Piano Man (1973), Turnstiles (1976) and The Stranger (1977).
