"It's not gonna be very good if I don't wanna do it. It's not gonna be _real_ " Sums up *_exactly_* why I've always been drawn to his music. No fronts. Ever. Be honest or go home. Priceless.
He often brings out guests at his concerts, but other than his backing band he's pretty light on collabs. Code of Silence with Cindi, Baby Grand with Ray Charles, and Christmas in Falluja with Cass Dillon
I was thinking he collaborated with Ray Charles on “Baby Grand”. I do think Billy wrote it all and brought it before Ray already finished so maybe that’s why he didn’t mention Ray Charles here
Code of Silence was a really great song, too. I'm not a huge fane of The Bridge, but it had it's moments, and that one was one of them. "This Is The Time" and "Baby Grand" were really great.
Howard didn't even allow Billy to plug his new vinyl box set !!??? It came out on November 5th and this interview is happening 1 week before!! NOTHING mind boggling!
That track with Ray Charles is great. It's "Baby Grand." "Code of Silence" is also on the album "The Bridge." In this interview, Billy is talking about collaborating on the writing of a song. Ray Charles didn't co-write. Cyndi Lauper did. Love both of these songs. That whole album is great. :)
As a huge fan of Billy Joel, I’m disappointed he didn’t answer the question hahah. He partially answered it. I guess he didn’t want to offend anybody with his answer hahah.
COLLABORATING?!! How about why he hasn't recorded or at least released anything in a quarter of a century?! Why does this not register with anyone?! (Not include his classical l.p. release a couple of decades ago.)
I love listening to Billy Joel talk. He's always refreshingly honest and direct, and just an interesting guy.

@billyjoel2578go to hell
Co-writer credits with Lauper and Beethoven.
Billy really said, "Only Legends on my publishing".
Respect. ✌🏾🤟🏾
“The only other person I gave credit to was Ludwig van Beethoven. I didn’t pay him, but I gave him credit.” 😂😂😂
@Billy Joel absolutely
Code of Silence is a superb song and the entire Bridge album is vastly underrated.
Exactly 💯
It seems more and more that Billy Joel is just comfortable with himself. That's a lovely place for a human to get to.
Aaaahh, the freedom of not having to do stuff - priceless👍.
Much respect to Billy's long great career.
Billiy's cindy lauper impression, OMG🤣 spot on!!😂🤣😂
Billy looks great! Such a gift to music. God bless Billy!
His impression of Cyndi 🤣
😆🤣 it actually sounded pretty accurate
BJ's impression.👌
I love it..."woids" Ya, she would say that.
Fantastic 👌🤣🤣
@@ufafgd incredible
His Cyndi Lauper impression is brilliant 🤣
His Lauper impression teetered close to a Bugs Bunny impression.
Lol so true
"Code of silence" is a beautiful song. One of my faves.
Wow! A Howard Stern interview I actually enjoyed.
Yet, I saw him come out during the encores at a Paul McCartney concert at Yankee stadium. They did "I saw her standing there". It was just insane!
Opposite situation at Shea Stadium, but same song
He often brings out guests at his concerts, but other than his backing band he's pretty light on collabs. Code of Silence with Cindi, Baby Grand with Ray Charles, and Christmas in Falluja with Cass Dillon
@@Danfunnyman1234 Steve Winwood played the organ on Getting Closer.
@@Danfunnyman1234and Tenth Ave Freeze-Out with Bruce Springsteen.
Code of Silence is a fxcking great song and Cyndi Lauper rocks and raises with sweetness and power
Code of Silence is a jam! Shoulda been a single!
I was thinking he collaborated with Ray Charles on “Baby Grand”. I do think Billy wrote it all and brought it before Ray already finished so maybe that’s why he didn’t mention Ray Charles here
Billy wrote it on his own having Ray Charles in mind to sing it.
I don't know about "collaborations" but I enjoyed him playing with Garth Brooks live. Great show.
That impression was perfect.
Two long islanders
POIFECT
His Paul McCartney songs on the McCartney tribute album were THE BEST.
It's cool how the only real Collab was completely organic and he still naturally resisted. Dudes attitude is so metal.
Beethoven and Lauper. Two of the greats.
Because Billy is a genius and collaboration would be diluting his pure genius music.
What if he collaborated with another genius though?
Billy looks great. 👍
He does look better than when I used to see him wandering around NYC back in 2011
Also love that “the only other musician I gave credit too, I didn’t pay em, but Ludwig von Beethoven 😂😂
Looking awesome, Billy!
That's a great collaboration.Code of silence is excellent
That's a pretty good Cindy Lauper impersonation.
BJ had proven that he's a good mimic singer
This is the first time John Oates was mentioned on the show without being part of a Gary goof
Code of Silence was a really great song, too. I'm not a huge fane of The Bridge, but it had it's moments, and that one was one of them. "This Is The Time" and "Baby Grand" were really great.
Welcome to the “In A Sense” show!
Well he did participate in the most famous collaboration ever with We are the World.
Genius. Saw him twice ! Once in Philly and once in Chapel hill
omg that Cyndi Lauper impression is hysterical! lololol
Would love to see Billy get back to the music, a real legend.
Well, he still plays and sings. Just hasn’t written any songs for a long time.
@@davebartholome2924 Not for the longest time.
@@MuzixMaker Ba-dum-bum.
@@MuzixMaker Nice! 😀
Billy does a pretty spot-on Cindy Lauper impersonation.
Cyndi lauper is amazing !
Billy has less crow's feet than me at age 51.
He doesn't have a full-time job.
Can you tell he’s botoxed to the max?
Love his Cyndi Lauper impression, that's gold.
i ❤️
❤️ Billy Joel ❤️ 💪🎹💞💞💞
Code of Silence is a gr8 song!!!
Cyndi kills it!
Bill's Lauper is exceptional.
Love you Billy Joel
He also collaborated with Ray Charles on Baby Grand, but Ray Charles didn’t write the music
Rumor has it Beethoven is still pissed at Billy Joel about not getting a share of the royalties for "This Night."
Billy Joel and Cyndi Lauper. The king and the queen.
Liking Billy Joel wearing a tractor supply hat
Totally can see billy down there at tractor supply buying something 😅what a great person and Legendary musician!
He does a funny Cyndi Lauper impression Lol 😂
Wait a second! Doesn't he remember that awesome collaboration with Ray Charles on the song My Baby Grand???
He didn't write Baby Grand with Ray Charles though, they only performed and recorded it together.
Great song, great performance.
Hey now!!! Howard this was a great interview on Sirius xm.
My all time favorite. I love the Joelster!
Agreed - listening to him speak and tell a story is equally as entertaining as listening to his music.
Howard didn't even allow Billy to plug his new vinyl box set !!??? It came out on November 5th and this interview is happening 1 week before!! NOTHING mind boggling!
I went to his concert all alone @ 18
Now he has a new song with Freddy Wexler
Hey Billy, did you completely forget about your amazing collaboration with Ray Charles on your album called "The Bridge" ???
That track with Ray Charles is great. It's "Baby Grand." "Code of Silence" is also on the album "The Bridge." In this interview, Billy is talking about collaborating on the writing of a song. Ray Charles didn't co-write. Cyndi Lauper did. Love both of these songs. That whole album is great. :)
He's talking about writing credit. Ray didn't help write Baby Grand.
We are the World 🤙🏻
I hear Sly Stallone everytime I hear Billy Joel Talk
Billy really committing to the 3/4 shot here👃
A project with Joel and McCartney and Elton would be something to behold.
I get it. He would be forcing it. It wouldn't come from a genuine spark.
I always see him in better call saul a genius!
He wrote the hook to “Uptown” by Bun B, the one Drake sung.
"Code of Silence" is a decent song. Pretty good. :)
I remember "This Night" is a Joel/Beethoven composition. Here's Beethoven's original ruclips.net/video/DuxexZWvDbI/видео.html
As a huge fan of Billy Joel, I’m disappointed he didn’t answer the question hahah. He partially answered it. I guess he didn’t want to offend anybody with his answer hahah.
Absolutely love Billy Joel but hasn’t he not put out any music in25 years?
Christmas in Falluja and All My Life were both in 2007, and he had a classical score in 2001
Great stuff! :)
Billy Joel is rocking the twitch streamer position here
Maybe Cyndi Lauper's a super great dentist now because she experienced trying to pull song out of reluctant collaborator
When listening to this on radio, I thought it was “Ronney” they way he sounded….weird !!!
Yes. All he needed was to inject Ronnie's anger into the voice.
Don’t forget We are the World
He's forgetting about his collaboration with the late, great, LEGENDARY Ray Charles.
Steve Grillo is Billy Joel's son.
*_"I DIDN'T PAY HIM!!"_* 😆
Baby Grand
He DID collaborate with Ray Charles
Billy does a great impression of an old jewish woman...nails it! ❤️️👍
「ナイロンカーテン」から「イノセントマン」でいろいろと本当のことを言わせてもらいました。自分は何も悪くはないです。
What about Ray Charles and Baby Grand? Was that written by Billy and just sung by both of them?
Exactly. Just Joel writing that as opposed to Code Of Silence, which is a rare co-write of his
Didn't he collab with Ray Charles on Baby Grand?
Play the song ,throw out some woids....Brilliant ..
Baby Grand didn't count?
He had weird songs " heart attack ack ack ack"
Does he look different to anyone else? Maybe it's the camera angle - not sure. Even sounds different to me.
COLLABORATING?!! How about why he hasn't recorded or at least released anything in a quarter of a century?! Why does this not register with anyone?! (Not include his classical l.p. release a couple of decades ago.)
What if a writer came up to Billy with a song to get his stamp of approval? Would he do it?
His face looks tight. 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
Up Tawn Girl, My Life, etc
John Lennon was a fan and vice-versa,,,,,,,he was tempted to visit him in Cold Spring Harbour..........
He did a duet with Ray Charles. Wasn’t that technically a collaboration?
Yes but that was on Joel's own tune called Baby Grand
Billy wrote it, but he did a duet with Ray Charles.
He should have paid Beethoven :(
I think it was Jerry Lewis that helped Billy with his song, lol!
Billy Joel on the Howard stern Podcast....
I wonder where Stern broadcasts from.
1) Millennium Tower apt ( 2 floors)
2) Hampton's mansion
3) Florida mansion 🤷
What happened to his voice
Smoking and getting older
he really doesn't sound much different from an interview from '77
He sounds the same.
Long Island always comes out when you talk
@@blacksabbath4252 he does not smoke anymore.
Why does he look better now that he's older?
What about Cass Dillon?
Did he not do a song with Ray Charles, Baby Grand?
Um, Ray Charles??
