One of the most simple, meaningful, and uncomplicated love songs ever written. Unconditional love. I was lucky enough to have experienced that for 50 years and to return it in kind....and even now that he has passed away, I still love him in every moment just the way he is and wouldn't change a thing. I wish everyone could have that experience. Billy says it perfectly. I love you Bob.💞
Phil Ramone and Liberty DeVitto recommended the change. DeVitto hated playing it until the rhythm was changed. Even after the change, Joel didn’t want it on the album. Ramone recruited Carole King and Phoebe Snow to convince Billy to embrace the song and agree to put it on the record. Can you imagine this song never being released?
Actually Mr. Joel predates the Disco era by several years. Disco was actually short lived, generally from '75 to about '80 (yes, there were some songs after '80 that had a disco vibe, but they were the exception. The mid '80s was the "Hair Band" era mostly). I remember in the early '80s certain radio stations were having disco record smashing events. Disco never really went away, they just call it "club" music now. It's what all the "hot" girls wearing 2 pounds of makeup and too small dresses get on the floor and wiggle to.
Just want to say how much I enjoy your channel and reactions. Your enthusiasm is infectious. Your love for what you do is obvious. I don't think I've ever watched a reaction video of yours and not smiled. As a child of the 70s and 80s, it's so much fun to see someone discover and appreciate Billy Joel the way you do. So, in short, don't go changing. Keep doing your reactions Just The Way You Are :)
Billy Joel was inducted into the Songwriters HOF in 1992, the R&R HOF in 1999, and the Long Island Music HOF in 2006. In 2013 he was recognized at the Kennedy Center Honors. Thanks for reacting, love your channel.
Saw Billy on "The Stranger" tour in like 1978, and this is how he looked and sounded. In a 2500 seat theatre that had Broadway touring companies and local opera and symphony did performances. The acoustics were top flight and we were only 20 rows back in place that had no bad seats. OMG
BILLY JOEL, I remember when it came out in France. This song, this very particular atmosphere which gives a calm and relaxed aspect to romanticism. Very beautiful song indeed. Thank you Britt
Love Billy and his legendary songs! This bossa-nova inspired beauty is one of his best. And with the incredible Richie Canata on sax? Well... it's a gem. If you haven't already, you should definitely watch (from this same concert) "New York State of Mind." Wow - what a performance. Then follow that up with his older live performance of "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant" for dessert.
On most Billy Joel songs when you hear a saxophone it's being played by Richie Cannata, who was part of his band from 1975 to 1981. On the album for this song alone it's played by Phil Woods, but since this is a live performance, I guess that's Cannata playing here, too.
The man is a fabulous entertainer, pianist and song writer. Check out "New York State of Mind" Incredible song.... try to find a live version at Yankee stadium or Madison Square Garden.
It’s more of a romantic song than it is a PDC type song. Let’s call it 75/25 romantic to PDC but that’s an awesome thing to be. I remember reading an interview with Paul Simon back in the 80’s in which he both complimented and criticized Billy at the same time. He basically said that Joel is so versatile and such a good mimic that he sometimes has trouble being himself. Billy could be Harry Chapin on one song then sound similar to Elvis. After that he may be Paul McCartney and then Ray Charles. While I see Simon’s point I think that in all these things we find Billy Joel.
It's great to see your reaction Britt. Some songs are timeless. As a teen I was watching SNL along with my mom. She wasn't a fan to say the least. Then the featured guest Billy Joel came on and sang this song. She went silent. It hit her soul like it was 1945. Great songs reach regardless their era.
I grew up with Billy Joel. At 74 he can still sell out 20,000 seat Madison Square Garden for his 100th concert in that location. Not to mention that he wrote every one of his songs on every one of his albums including 11 platinum. One or two were 10 times platinum. The premier songwriter of the 20th century.
That was a perfect induction speech 😄 I agree with you, as big of a Billy Joel fan as I am, I don't necessarily think of any of his songs as panty droppers, however he can be incredibly ROMANTIC. Just making your heart and eyelashes flutter as you heave a big sigh. Which is why it pleased me to hear you use the word "woo" since that is exactly what he's doing, the old fashioned way with words and charm. The saxophone, on the other hand, well, yes, of course that's an immediate underwear extractor. 😅 I would like to suggest Until the Night as another slow-burn romantic song (with SAX), it's his homage to the Righteous Brothers.
I got to hang out with Liberty Devito, Billy's drummer, during his 70/80s year. He said Billy would sing this to any girl he wanted to bed, and it always worked. This is the guy who was dating the two of the biggest supermodels of the 80s at the same time.
@@farfromperfek that's cool. He seems so on interviews. Cool you know him. He was a great contributor to that very talented band. Billy, Liberty, Richie, Russel and Doug were really great together. I know many other names involved, but they pulled a ton of weight. Mark has done a great job cause Ritchie was so key to it. I respect all drummers, but Liberty had a singularly unique heartbeat. Love it. Be well!
I KNEW IT!!! As soon as the end came, you were done!! Great reaction, as always! I remember learning this song when it came out. It was not the easiest of songs to learn!
It's not "you're perfect the way your mother birthed you", it's "I love you, the way you are, no matter what" unconditional love. Like your mother loves you, no conditions, no strings, no need to change anything about you because I love you. If your hair is brown, blond, pink or purple, it doesn't matter, because I love you and it's your hair. "Woman, you don't have to change anything to get my love. You've had it from the start because I love you, not your hair, not your clothes, not your makeup, just you, anyway you are." This is the way a real man loves his woman. He can't help it because he's a real man and not some overgrown boy.
Just finished binge-watching your George Carlin reactions and thought they were some of the best I'd seen. That's me subscribed. I'm not sure how I feel about Billy Joel. The album version of this song is sublime - especially when compared to the sugary Barry White cover that made the UK charts - but I didn't care for the direction his material took in the 80s. I don't know if as a straight cis male I'm qualified to comment on the PDC concept, or even if it's appropriate for me to do so, but I'll stick my neck out and recommend the Split Enz number Message To My Girl followed by Todd Rundgren's Hello It's Me.
I always enjoy your reactions to songs. Perhaps you could consider reviewing Billy Joel's "And so it goes." It has got to be the best song about someone giving their heart to another, and it was one of the 5 songs that Billy Joel considered to be the best that he had written.
I've played a bunch of different instruments in bands, including Sax. Here is the most common pecking order in the band of who gets the girl. Lead Singer Lead Guitarist Back stage security guard Pianist Sax player Drummer Rhythm Guitar Trumpet/Flute Soundman Random Roadie Bass player. 😂
my goodness - your hair/braids are epic! Gorgeous Britt. Just gorgeous!!! Billy Joel is amazing indeed. Seen him live twice. Would love a chance to see him again before he hangs it up.
Yay Billy. About time. Lol Maybe have like 2 categories? One PDC, next tier is Friendzone/Fangirl Group - that way Dolly or Shania can get ranked up there. Lol
the ORIGINAL Top 10 Mega Hit recording is the legendary version with it's unique intimate and intensely romantic vibe complimented by the stylish sexy sax playing of Phil Woods. the ORIGINAL recording is PDC material and that version was so good that even the Maestro of Love Barry White covered it......
Billy Joel is an American musical treasure, the George Gershwin of his time as far as songwriting is concerned. This came out while I was in college, great slow dance number . We used to joke "Don't Go Changing to try and please me, except please change your underwear..."
Fun fact/story: my father had docked his boat one day after fishing and billy had asked him if he wanted to join him on his boat going out the next day. My dad didnt recognise him at the time and unfortunately had to return to work the next day so he politely declined. Life has a twisted sense of humor sometimes. I wouldve said my boss can wait. It wouldve made a funny story to tell at work down the line. Again unfortunately he didnt recognise who he was at the time.
IMHO this is Billys best vocal performance and it helped end the cold war a must see so different In the summer of 1987, Billy Joel accepted the Kremlin’s invitation to the U.S.S.R. for six fully-staged rock shows in Moscow and Leningrad, fulfilling a longtime desire to perform in Russia and permanently affecting the spirit of the country ahead of the Soviet Union’s dissolution in 1991.

Go ahead and anoint him as "Uncle Billy". Billy Joel is such a great songwriter, and you really feel every song he sings. This song was everywhere for several years. Great for a movie soundtrack, too. It is, indeed, super romantical. Totally an "afternoon delight" style song.
Written by Billy Joel. I agree👍 He said it sounds similar to U'm Not in Love as popularized by 10cc, which they also produced, in 1975 because of the keyboards of Joel and tape loop which the late Phil Ramone recorded on while he produced the music 🎶. In the same city, Waiting for a Girl 👧 Like You was recorded in 1981 by Foreigner. Three years later, (40 years 🎂 ago) The Cars recorded Drive 🚗. These 2 songs had Mutt Lange as the main producer. Suggested videos 📹: 1 Billy Joel songs I Go to Extremes 2 The Cars perform Drive 🚗
If you listen to Until the Night, it may end up in your PDC club. Very underrated song and one of my favorites. Keep up the good work with your reviews.
Ok now I know we should have known each other at some point in the past...I used to play jazz with my tenor saxophone! No joke, but it is very lovely to listen to for sure so I agree with you! 😊😊
Haha, well if you just react to his hit Only the Good Die from his iconic The Stranger album, then he will probably be inducted into the PDC. But as an older dude, I would almost say the bass player should because he just rules on that thing, laugh.
I think the case can be made that Billy Joel is the greatest artist, singer, musician, songwriter of all time. I know he isn't usually included in these conversations, even though he's super popular and has had a lot of hits, but I think he should be included in those conversations.
I have been a HUGE Billy Joel fan my whole life and I feel the same way, he doesn't have that PDC vibe, perhaps because Billy's lyrics are complicated and thought provoking so his songs get me in more of a cerebral place, not a physical place. Even his songs sung about women and directly to women are more love or relationship songs, and you don't get that "I'm sexy and and I know it" vibe, he's very humble. However I'd say the closest to the Hall and Oates vibe he can be are "She's Got a Way", which can get you in your feels, and "Leave a Tender Moment Alone" (live, because he can sing it so sexy)
Billy Joel definitely needed to be in the PDC. I'm so glad he is finally in!!! Some other romantic songs from him - She's Always A Woman, Honesty, She's got a Way, and my favorite ... You're My Home (my friend sang that to his wife-to-be when he proposed to her).
I agree Britt, not panty dropping,just brilliant on a whole other level! He’s a sweet storyteller and always cuts to the heart of anything with his lyrical genius! Panty droppers for me would be more like, I’ll Make Love To You by Boys 2 Men,Sexual Healing by Marvin Gaye, Tonight’s the Night by Rod Stewart, and A Bed of Roses by Bon Jovi…
Old Gray Whistle Test was a great show. The best performance in that show was New York State of Mind. You want sax, that song will give you sax....trust me.
So I think you should definitely check out his song Lullabye (Good Night My Angel) you will probably end up singing it to your baby or at least playing it for them to sleep. Billy's best vocal track where he does the most is called "Leave A Tender Moment Alone" you should check that out as well. Honestly you should just do his entire catalog there are honestly only a handful of bad tracks throughout his entire career.
While we're on the PDC topic, I must suggest Stevie Ray Vaughan "Little Wing". Now this is totally instrumental, so I dont know if you would review it on YT, but on a scale of 1 to 10 on the PDC this is an 11!! If you get a chance please respond and let me know if you agree!
Yay! Billy Joel is definitely one of a kind!
One of the most simple, meaningful, and uncomplicated love songs ever written.
Unconditional love.

I wish everyone could have that experience.

I love you Bob.💞
He said in an interview that the way they were doing this tune wasn't really working, and someone suggested trying a bossa nova beat. Gold!
Phil Ramone and Liberty DeVitto recommended the change. DeVitto hated playing it until the rhythm was changed.
Even after the change, Joel didn’t want it on the album. Ramone recruited Carole King and Phoebe Snow to convince Billy to embrace the song and agree to put it on the record.

@@brianwaite854 I also read somewhere that Linda Ronstadt helped persuade him to release it as a single. It won the Grammy for Song of the Year.
He’s defo PDC - think Bruno in fame - too young 😂.
A proper New Yorker. 👍🏽👍
@@brianwaite854 No, I can't. The world would be lesser without it.
@@brianwaite854 Billy was lucky had Carol King and Phoebe Snow to change his mind....this song a Grammy for song of the year!!
What a great reaction! In between the silliness of Disco, the craziness of Glam and the madness of Punk we had Billy Joel. Thank God!!
Wow, thank you so much! Long live Billy the Goat!!
@@brittreacts Not sure if you realise but you did a reaction to this song about six months ago from an older Billy around 20 years ago.

Smooth, laid back, down to earth and real, yet with epic timeless lyrics and sounds !!!
Scenes at an italian resturant live from long island is Billys masterclass imo.
Everybody always says that but to me So It Goes and Goodnight Saigon are both a cut above the rest.
BILLY JOEL, I remember when it came out in France. This song, this very particular atmosphere which gives a calm and relaxed aspect to romanticism. Very beautiful song indeed. Thank you Britt
What a great song. Every man wishes he could find someone he fells this way about. Few of us actually do.

Here is a song I think
You will really enjoy it is Billy Joel and Ray Charles and the song is Baby Grand
***ALWAYS A WOMAN TO ME*** another famous hit you will love!
Haha, well if you just react to his hit Only the Good Die from his iconic The Stranger album, then he will probably be inducted into the PDC. But as an older dude, I would almost say the bass player should because he just rules on that thing, laugh.

Check out "Uptown Girl." The video stars his then wife Christie Brinkley. They have a daughter who is also a singer. Her name is Alexa Ray Joel.
That’s just good ole wholesome music!
I have been a HUGE Billy Joel fan my whole life and I feel the same way, he doesn't have that PDC vibe, perhaps because Billy's lyrics are complicated and thought provoking so his songs get me in more of a cerebral place, not a physical place. Even his songs sung about women and directly to women are more love or relationship songs, and you don't get that "I'm sexy and and I know it" vibe, he's very humble. However I'd say the closest to the Hall and Oates vibe he can be are "She's Got a Way", which can get you in your feels, and "Leave a Tender Moment Alone" (live, because he can sing it so sexy)
You're perfect too Britt! Love you just the way you are!!! aka The Complete Package !!!😁😁😁🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
We played this for my 1st wedding in 1982.
Did she just say "the air gets moist" 😊😂
Billy Joel definitely needed to be in the PDC. I'm so glad he is finally in!!! Some other romantic songs from him - She's Always A Woman, Honesty, She's got a Way, and my favorite ... You're My Home (my friend sang that to his wife-to-be when he proposed to her).
Hey Britt, your fans sing this to you here!
Billy is a special kind of talent in his own sort a club.
Billy is ok with being friend-zoned; he had his time married to a legit super model.
Barry White covered this song and his version is definitely PDC worthy.
Is anyone else hearing echoes of the 10cc classic 'I'm Not In Love'? Something about the keys and the background sounds.
I agree Britt, not panty dropping,just brilliant on a whole other level! He’s a sweet storyteller and always cuts to the heart of anything with his lyrical genius! Panty droppers for me would be more like, I’ll Make Love To You by Boys 2 Men,Sexual Healing by Marvin Gaye, Tonight’s the Night by Rod Stewart, and A Bed of Roses by Bon Jovi…
In the most nicest person in real life he's a really nice guy in real life and doesn't put big attitude or nothing he's a regular guy
Played at my wedding in 1984
The irony of this song is that it was written for his wife. Five years later he straight up dumped her for Christie Brinkley.
Britt! You came to see Billy and you left with the sax player!
You gotta react to his song with Ray Charles - Baby Grand, it’s so good
There was just something about music with saxophones back then....
It may not be PDC... but the glow of your smile should be a new category
Our wedding song!
Same here. It was a huge hit that year in 1978 in Canada.
Must try Billy Joel & Ray Charles ---- BABY GRAND
At 70 yrs old Billy brought Sax back to R&R
Check out Until The Night “ live from Long Island”. You won’t be disappointed. Billy is the GOAT for sure.
Billy Joel
A Matter Of Trust
I definitely miss the saxophone in popular music! I play (or did) trumpet, keyboard, bass and guitar, but the saxophone has the sexiest sound!
I offer up Billy's "Until The Night". A little bit of a Righteous Brothers tone with another great sax solo.
I played the saxophone solo in a highschool jazz band ❤❤❤❤❤
In this video the guy playing tenor saxophone in this song , I played alto saxophone in this song .🎷
I know it was awesome 🔥🔥🔥
Billy Joel is and always has been marvelous!! 😅
Old Gray Whistle Test was a great show. The best performance in that show was New York State of Mind. You want sax, that song will give you sax....trust me.
This is such a beautiful song! I think if you give "For The Longest Time" a listen, he'll be inducted.
SAX-A-MA-PHONE, SAX-A-MAA-PHOOONE
This was a big wedding song
So I think you should definitely check out his song Lullabye (Good Night My Angel) you will probably end up singing it to your baby or at least playing it for them to sleep. Billy's best vocal track where he does the most is called "Leave A Tender Moment Alone" you should check that out as well. Honestly you should just do his entire catalog there are honestly only a handful of bad tracks throughout his entire career.
I think the words you're looking for are, "He could sing the phonebook..."
Please do a reaction to Billy Joel's " Until the Night" It's a great love song and has a fantastic saxophone solo.
Won the Grammy for song of the year
Thanks for fixing the audio sync problem
If you haven't already, check out his new song, Turn The Lights Back On, it's new and already a classic
Thank you Brittany😮😅
While we're on the PDC topic, I must suggest Stevie Ray Vaughan "Little Wing".
Now this is totally instrumental, so I dont know if you would review it on YT, but on a scale of 1 to 10 on the PDC this is an 11!!
If you get a chance please respond and let me know if you agree!
For the best hit of sax try Christie Lee from the Innocent Man album, not quite a ballad mind you!
I love a good mess. You are awesome. That is why I come here.
the O.G.W.T one of the best tv show in the 70s and 80s.
