The Old Grey Whistle Test was a British television music show that ran over here in the 70s and 80s. According to presenter and DJ Bob Harris, the programme derived its name from a Tin Pan Alley phrase from years before. When they got the first pressing of a record, they would play it to people they referred to as the old greys, such as doormen in grey suits. Any song the doormen could remember and whistle having heard it just once or twice, had passed the old grey whistle test.
Back then they were real musicians. They all played their own instruments. Today all you hear is digital backing tracks and maybe you'll see someone playing a guitar. You mentioned the emotion he puts into his playing and his personality. Unfortunately that is rarely seen today.
Hello fellow Asian kid who was forced to learn classical piano 🥺👋👋 Thing is, Billy also was trained on classical piano, but he grew up in the era of Elvis and the Beatles, so the inclination to rock out was inevitable. I hope you react to more of his songs and performances, especially from the '70s and '80s. The Live From Long Island version of Scenes from an Italian Restaurant is a particular favorite!
True Billy was trained on piano at a very young age his father was a big piano player that when Billy was very young took off to his original country I believe somewhere close to Russia and his mother kept him in piano

I enjoy most of Billy Joel's work, but I especially like the cuts that show off his instrumental talents.

Joel is the greatest at creating the right atmosphere!!

Nothing beats good sax.
I love saxy time!
When the sax or piano ventures away from the expected- that, in my estimation, is jazz.
A perfect performance, any minor flaws are a part of that.
honesty by billy
If you like the way he plays like they did in the old saloons, you should react to his song called “The Ballad of Billy the Kid”. You’ll love it!

If you like his “saloon style” of playing, give his song “The Ballad of Billy the Kid” a try!
Smoking is cool, stealing is the coolest.
R.i.p billy Joel hes a great performer in music he's got style ❤❤❤
What are you talking about? He's still with us!
???
Seriously.
But also smoke if you want to because you’re an adult
Hopefully you don't smoke because as an adult you should know it that it can lead to hairy palms. Or at least that's what the internet told me.
@@ReactToTheWorld lol
@@ReactToTheWorld I don’t smoke, but somehow I still still have Harry Palms. Can’t explain it.
