@70score8: Billy Joel Piano Man 1973 📍(Old Grey Whistle Test) It’s 9 o’clock on a Saturday “Piano Man” is a song written and performed by American singer-songwriter Billy Joel. First released as a single in the US on November 2, 1973, it was included on Joel’s 1973 album Piano Man. The song is sung from the point of view of a piano player at a bar, describing the patrons. “Piano Man” is based on Joel’s real-life experiences as a lounge musician in Los Angeles from 1972 to 1973, which he had decided to pursue in an effort to escape his contracted New York City–based record company at the time, Family Productions, following the poor commercial performance of his debut album, Cold Spring Harbor (1971). #billyjoel #pianoman #saturday #1970smusic #popmusic #70smusic #1970s #poprock #ladeeda ##singalong #memories #ogwt #70s #folkpop Posted @withregram • @missmissyphilly
