Lyrics:
Hey girl, I want you to know
I'm gonna miss you so much if you go
And hey girl, I tell you no lie
Something deep inside of me's going to die
If you say so long, if this is goodbye
#BillyJoel #HeyGirl #OfficialVideo
THIS VERSION OF THIS SONG
FROM BILLY JOEL
WAS MADE TO PERFECTION
Yes it is
Absolutely beautiful
His Best I Think, Enjoy Listening To This One Daily!
Lordy, this is the absolute best, soulful rendition of this song I've ever heard! Love it@
Good, It's My Favorite of Billy Joel!
I was working in this warehouse and this coworker and I was talking about old school R n B, soul, etc. and I asked him if he ever heard Billy Joel version of Hey Girl, he had not, I said when you get home tonight check it out and play it loud enough. Next day when I saw him he said, I listened 40 times 40 times! Loved it.
Billy Joel knocked this song out of the park ❤
Billy was really feeling this song!
And that, kids, is how real music is made.
no crazy costume,no fireworks,no big stage,no big screen only some musicians and a song ,the best thing on earth
Indeed
Yeah, it got ridiculous in the 90s with all the fluff &:stuff. Real singers don't need all that.
Really good fucking musicians.
You forgot to say no autotune and no Taylor swift. These comments are s dime a dozen. We know what is and what was.
@@JustTurned61 taylor swift,do you one song of her ,she is just hot air
This version gives me the chills, true masterpiece
Billy Joel truly expresses the lyrics.
Me too
❤ Billy Joels version of this song ❤️ 2024 still listening
Me too!
Us too!
Me too! I play it all the time
Me too. Fabulous
me too in 2025
Just a beautiful rendition of an old song by a very talented singer.. MY OPINION
Carole King wrote this song about 60 years ago and nobody has ever performed it as well as Billy.... it's as if he takes his time with it and puts all of his heart and soul into the song...wow, what a rendition! his backup singer and the band are awesome too ... I never get tired of hearing this, it is stuck in my head..

Try this version of Hey Girl by Will Downing. Then try the live version by Michael McDonald.
Well, I love Billy's rendition -- but I feel the initial release by Freddie Scott is still #1.... and charted Top 10 in 1963.
Well, I mostly agree. It’s fantastic, but Freddie Scott’s 1963?? version was also amazing .
Carol King is the GOAT did not know she wrote this
I'm glad you mentioned that.
I originally thought I heard this was a Leonard Cohen song.
This is the best version of Hey Girl EVER PERIOD.
Totally agree with you !!!
Damn right!!!
Brings me to tears every time.
And I’m out shopping!!!
yes yrs ago i know BJ live show was awesome. very good! pianist.
👍❤
The original version by Freddie Scott was the one I fell in love with in 1963.
THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST OF BILLY JOEL. HE SINGS THIS SONG WITH SO MUCH FEELING AND JUST AND JUST THE WAY HE MOVES YOU CAN TELL HE IS REALLY INTO THIS SONG
I totally agree 🎼I recall the original version (I am old) and I think Billy had put this song on a whole NEW level 🎵🎼🎶❤️
This song is very sexy and favolous😍
I can't just listen to this l once. I play it over and over until I just literally have to make myself stop but I really don't want to. Billy Joel sings this with such passion it feels like he is singing directly to a specific person. Sensational!
@@PattyWatts-m9j
He was singing with his wife in mind she had left him.
This cover proves that Billie is a serious vocalist. He can really sing !!!!
Well said!!! 🙂
I love this song . As much as I love Billy Joe
From a 72 year old female, the best rendition ever!!!
Hi all. My name is John Martelli Freddie Scotts partner. Freddie was the first to record this song and had the biggest hit with it, Since then it has been recorded by nearly a hundred different artists. Although Freddie did a superb job vocally the recordings at that time and especially on this cut were really primitive and sub par compared to todays standards. Just Saying Its heartbreaking to me that there is not much mention of Freddie on this thread. It is very clear to me that Mr Joel took much time to study Freddies style and came very close to Freddie on his interpretation. No one else came close to capturing Freddies unique style. Billy Joel crushed it. Freddie was honored that Billy covered it and loved his version. Rest in Peace my best friend Freddie Scott
🙏🙏🙏💜💜💜
Thanks for producing this fabulous soulful song. It's an earworm that I can tolerate for a while. Love it.
GREAT song!
@atminteractive John, your version IS ALSO fabulous! ruclips.net/video/HpDUTtAqBcI/видео.html
Thank you John Martelli!💯
Excellent rendition of Freddie Scott's "Hey Girl". Billy Joel nailed it, along with his back up singers and musicians!
This is the best version of "Hey Girl" that I have ever heard. AMAZING performance! Thank you Billy Joel.
Written by the legendary songwriting team of Gerry Goffin and Carole King.
I agree ..
The natural emotional quality from Freddie Scott cannot be matched by this polished up job by b joel...you all need to sit down , unwind, and enjoy the trueness of Freddie Scott's ' hey girl' along with the immaculate tenderness of the female voices who backed him up!!
TOTALLY AGREE
@@evanpayson9692Freddie had The Cookies as his back up vocals.
Listening to this song only makes me think we have missed by Billy Joel recording more music, plus more covers. I would do anything for a Billy Joel cover album!
Amen! He gives them all the respect and honors them and then makes them his own. An artist's artist! And what a band.
@@BobbyMurrayBluesGuitarWell said. 👏👏
It’s the best version I’ve heard yet
Try Live by request from A & E 2002. My fav version.
No fanfare and disruptive video production. Pure raw talent with every voice and instrument. Perfection.
Is there any limit to this man's the talent
Every time I hear this, I am blown away by Billy's passion. This is one of his greatest vocal performances. My soul feels every word. Best cover performed by one of the musical geniuses of our time.
+KathleenZzz Soul is the operative word. This is a chilling rendition of a classic. Remove "one of" before his, and I fully agree.
Gives me chills every time I watch it!
Could not have said this any better than you Kathleen!!!
Even his movements during this recording. Soulful, looks like he was caught in the moment. Love, love this version.
Oh my goodness!! Magic!! I can’t stop listening!!
The best cover ever. I was never a huge fan of Billy Joel but this song blows me away every single time I play it. Never gets old.
Exactly
Try Michael McDonald.
Billy joel is literally the best
Me too! I knew this song from Donny Osmond and loved it sooo much. The original never got near donny's version for me. But i was blown away when i heard this only a year or two ago. This has surpassed my fav song of my teen idol.
@Robert Sorry but Michael McDonald's is awful.
I know this is a cover. But Billy is making it his own ❤
Often the cover of a song is better than the original. This is a great example.
Yes it is I honestly love Billy Joel ❤
Definitely his best moment. Just love it!
Wow...this song is perfect...vocals, sax, piano and Billy"s rendition is spectacular from the heart.I could listen to him sing this all day, every day!!!!
I fo listen to thus sing Every day, it brings me Joy!!
his version really highlights his great voice but still prefer George Benson's version by a nose.
Me too, and I do.
I love listening the girls voice in the background. She deserves a lot of credit for the song also.The people in the background never gets the credit to make someone else's sound better.
100% agree. She is stunning.
@@jennymacallan9071 Ditto, she's very good with vocals and expression, she adds
What is her name?
Billy Joel’s greatest vocal rendition…ever. Backed by a team of superb musicians, Joel delivers a performance that is soulful, powerful and one that conveys the heartfelt agony of a man in the throes of a gut-wrenching breakup. Doesn’t get any better than this.
Was he in a break up? We love you @BillyJoel.. This is awesome!
No one sings this song like the legendary Michael McDonald
@@bryangarten oh my. You may not ever see this. THIS song brings me comfort that is immeasurable.
I lost my Darling cat in January. ... And I have replayed this hundreds of times remembering the feeling of her sweet self crawling into my body as the euthanasia drugs took her awar from me. Heart. Breaking.
It really does speak to you doesnt it?
Leave a Tender Moment Alone is Billy's best vocal, followed closely by An Innocent Man, The Night Is Still Young, This Night and When in Rome in no particular order.
This might be a cover but Billy makes it his own
To me his all time BEST! never knew why he didnt release it back in the 80s, lm sure it would have been a smash hit No #1 for sure!!
Original by Freddie Scott
He did this when Christy Brinkley left him. He was thinking of her when singing
Just discovered this version by Billy Joel and it's so beautiful.
Sing it Billy!🎶
This is Billy absolutely killing it . Such a great soulful vocal performance. The fact that he has the great Felix Cavaliere on B3 , who has one of the greatest voices ever, had to inspire Billy also . A masterpiece for sure !!!
Absolutely correct about Felix Cavaliere!!!
Felix Cavaliere from the Young Rascals! 👏🏻
I thought that was him
Billy Joel has so much soul and is equal to the original! Wow!
Billy, never singing more from the heart than this magnificent piece of music and Felix Cavaliere offering a superb touch on the Hammond! One can never tire of this type of presentation. Some of the best I’ve had the privilege to hear!
Thank you. I thought that was Felix.
@@lizmcdanielooo You are very welcome. If you are a Rascals fan, you may want to check out Stevie Van Zandt’s theatrical production of “Once Upon A Dream”. It offers a retrospective of the band with original members. 😊
Only Billy Joel could take a 50 year old song and make it soulful. And sound so brand new, got to love this man !😍
It was only 25 years old when he recorded this, but your sentiment is still spot on!
Love love this song...Billy joel...wonderful job...❤❤❤👏👏
100 percent agree!!!
My God, that means I was 18, oh well, loved it then and still do!
Sounds so good from one of the greatest performers bar none
I love this rendition much much more than Donny Osmond's. Billy Joel has hit the nail on the head with this song. He is superb and I just love listening to him over and over again.
What an AMAZING performance!! He sang it better than the original singer, in my opinion. This song has been forgotten for ages, no one ever sings it anymore. Beautiful memories of my youth. Thank you for sharing….
Billy Joel at his best !
This version of an old classic is incredible....one of Billy's best EVER 🎶🎶❤️
Who did originsl version of this song?
Unfortunately Billy was no longer having hits on the charts when this came out in 97. He sings the hell out of this one and if he would have released it back in the 80s this would have been a top 10 smash. They just don't make records like this in today's world.
I can't begin to describe how much I love this song. Such perfect vocals. The day I first heard it, I put it on repeat. I haven't heard it in a while but it popped up on a radio station last week. Here I am on repeat again. Yesterday I woke up with it in my head. What a great way to wake up!
I agree. I have been singing it to Carrie Underwood
I agree this is fantastic!!!
Billy Joel just proved how much he is an outstanding entertainer
This is to me, Billy Joel’s greatest song. He was meant to sing r n b, not be stuck behind a sad piano. He is so soulful! What a great voice for this music!
yep...his best
This rendition of Hey Girl us absolutely fantastic!!💖💖💖
It’s a cover, but still one of my favorite Billy Joel songs
Whilst I wouldn’t go so far as to say that it is his *best* vocal/performance/song, it’s definitely wonderful. For one thing I will absolutely agree with you on is how he doesn’t lose anything in his performing by not sitting behind the piano. There are so many artists that are so used to performing behind an instrument, that when they are not in that setting while performing, they seem as uncomfortable as a fish out of water(Elton John, Paul Simon, Bruce Springsteen come to mind). And that’s harder than it sounds. And I never really took note of it until someone else said it to me years ago. But once I started looking for it, you can see it all over the place with these kinds of artists. So the fact that Billy Joel doesn’t do that speaks to just how incredible of a performer he is.
Yes, he is a great singer, but his piano is not sad!
Few songs bring on the chills like this one. I can’t believe it was the first time I heard it today. Can’t stop listening to him.
I have to agree this is one of Billy's greatest vocals.
Billy, the musicians, the back up singer - oh my. ❤️💙💜
Who is the back up singer ? Whoever, she is wonderful.
@@roncannell4665
Look at young guy on bass he keeps looking at her especially near end when bringing it home
I think Billy Joel’s version is better than the original!!
There is such passion, God such a delicious man .
Me too!
I agree and like him when he’s tapping keys.
Na, Freddie's voice is much more suited to the song and he shows more expression. This song is for a black soul singer, sorry I don't make the rules
I still think that Billy does a good job with it. Is it as good as the original. Probably not.
I never heard him sound better. Great voice, song choice and musicianship.
Stumbled on this looking for the original version. This is absolutely amazing!
I can't stop listening to this!!! It is the most amazing rendition of this song ever, and with Billy Joel giving it his everything - I'm having the biggest major "Voice Crush" over and over again!!!
It just does not get any better than this. No gimmicks, just musicians and their instruments and a great performance.
Awesome! I can't stop watching this!
Agreed - Perfect
Exactly simple just beautiful with a 60 s vibe
cant beat billys cover of tis great song
this sorry
1997 was the year for Hanson, the Spice Girls and the Backstreet Boys, so I guess America didn't have any desire for one of Billy Joel's best recordings. Yes, this was a single, but nobody knew about it.
He just doing him which is automatically a Masterpiece
I keep coming back. Probably the best version of" Hey Girl" I have heard.
I agree, absolutely.
Here in 2017, and back again in 2018.
Michele McDonald has a good one
Absolutely!
this is SUPERB !!!!! Perfect on many levels !!
Here in April 2020 and it still gives me chills!
Billy joel is my very favorite singer of all time ❤
I love this song!! Thank you for your rendition, Mr. Joel. Have a safe and enjoyable tour.
2:15 in the morning; should be going to bed, but CAN NOT STOP listening to this, now the 8th time! Perfect blend of lyrics, lead singer and backup music. Billy at his incomparable BEST!!
this is probably the best EVER from Billy Joel. Even better than the original by Freddie Scott.
Covered this in 1997?! And I just heard it on Sirius XM for the first time today. OBSESSED!!! Best cover of this song.
Billy knocks it out of the park with this old Freddie Scott AM radio gem. Whether it be his own or a remake, one of Billy's finest recorded moments.
Killing it!!! 💜
Thank you Billy Joel for perfection🥰
@@tuggiethepatriotpup3071this song touches my heart the way he sings it .
So fantastic!
Him and the Righteous Brothers do this song well
Billy Joel AND the band are excellent.👍👍👍👍
Who doesn't have a crush memory of the girl they felt this way about during early teen years? So on the mark, lyrics and delivery are perfect. Great cover!!!
Just love his rendition!! Never saw it before today
Love, love, love it ❤❤❤
What a beautiful rendition of Hey Girl !!!!!! Wow
Dedicated to my beautiful spirited jasmine,which passed away on April 2, 2020. Missing you so much love.
BLUE EYED SOUL !
Best version of this song I've ever heard! It is sung with so much passion!
The absolute best version of this!!! I just love his voice on this beauty!! Loving this today 5/14/22 ♥️♥️
I love it too!
Billy Joel very underrated soulful.
No one underrates Billy Joel...c'mon.
What a great version by Billy!
and hey Girl I tell You no lie Something deep inside of me is going to die if you say So long if You say Goodbye ........one of the most beautifully penned songs ever , my all time favorite .....Thank You
Freddie Scott would've approved of this cover. Put it down Billy, put it down!!!
Buzz Davis and this is another song written straight out of New York City's Brill building Sound by the great Carole King and her husband Barry Goffin before they split for California in the late sixties
Still gives me chills
That saxophone player is in most of Billy's records. He's so good looking
He has been in Billy's studio and tour band since 1982 and his name is Mark Rivera.
He must be around 70 years old now and was probably around mid-40s here. He also plays guitar, harmonica and piano too and has a decent singer voice and there are videos of him on RUclips covering Billy Joel's New York State of Mind, This is the Time and A Whiter Shade of Pale by Procol Harum.
One of the most beautiful versions of this song.
Dang Billy! Freddie would be proud of you. This is one of my favorites and you did it well.👏🏽👏🏽
M E M O R I E S!!
beautiful song love Billy joel
billy joel's best performance!!!!
One of the rare times when a cover is so much better than the original...Billy sings this with so much feeling....sooo beautiful ~~~
Only Billy amazing
Love Billy's cover, but Freddy Scott blows it out of the water, who sang this classic originally, check it out.
Billy's cover is amazing, but Freddy Scott's original is still better, imho
June and Rosa ~ I Haft To Fully Agree with yous on this GReat cover ...
His rendition brings me to tears! My goodness. .so much feeling in his rendition..l listen to this over and over
I'm an old man. How come they don't have songs like this anymore?
Billy Just tore that up! Best rendition of any song I ever heard!!
Best arrangement, too, by far. Love the orchestration.
Best song u rock billy luv u.
Billy YOU need to sit YOURSELF down. 💓💓💓💓💓 The Best Version ...EVER
Omg. His version is soulful
Top shelf
The very best version of this song anywhere anytime anyplace ❤hands down
Billy Joel is so talented.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
One of his BEST recordings EVER! Perfection. Just saw him in concert Sat night. I think many of his band are still with him. Wonderful,
Love this song. Beautiful orchestra, beautiful lyrics
I never really cared for Billy much, but he totally blew it away with song. Should have made it to the top of charts.
I love this so much, and the fact that Felix from the Rascals is playing piano. SO awesome
Stephanie Paolinelli Felix is playing the organ and behind the sax player you can see the piano player. You can't see him at first, but then the camera finally hits him.
I knew I recognized Felix from somewhere!
@Stephanie Paolinelli
And... singing the background vocals is Lalah Hathaway, one of the daughters of famed Soul singer, Donny Hathaway.
This version is so moving, I’ve shed more than a ton of tears to it.
Story has it, that he was singing about the fact that he would be missing getting to see his daughter because of his pending divorce (at that time), but hey, it means what it means for each of us.
@BluesDaddy- the song was about 33 or 34 years old, so you guys can split it!
Truly, a gem!
And Felix? I spotted him instantly!
@@sonnylipton2463 Young Rascals..."Groovin'"
@@celsiusmusic1204 Really?
Awesome Very Powerful.
superb on ALL levels !!!! I am now 56 and this is THE SHIT !!! AWESOME !! + Felix on the B3 too ! Billy's most SOULFUL performance I've ever heard !! A++
Billy shows his awesome talent with this beautiful song! Love his voice. Love the chords!
To bad there is not any music like this any more. Sadly I think its lost forever I cant really relate to new music.
Paul Harvey. Play it again Sam.
Paul Harvey opportunity
Well, don't worry about new music. Listen to what you have always loved. All of us from the '60's and '70's need to stop complaining about how shitty the new music is. Guess what , it's not written for us , it's written for our kids and grandkids. I've been discovering and rediscovering artists from my generation.
It's out there is just not main steam anymore. You just have to search hard. If I could recommend someone it would be John Mayor. Or maybe some of Sam smith's stuff.
Daryl hall is another gem, that fits in this era.
I love his version. I could listen to this over and over. Watching him sing it is even better! Love you Billy!
WOW!
God, I really wish I could sing like this!
Hi fellow birthday boy. (May 9 th) Blly I just love to WATCH you sing this song. You do it with such feeling. I wonder what/who was on your mind ? Jesus is Love
D Gods grace saved my Marriage this year.
