Billy Joel-52nd Street

This came out in 1978,the follow up to his hugely successful album The Stranger. One of my apartment mates had that one on cassette as well as this one and they both were played quite often. I liked both of them,perhaps this one a little more.”Big Shot” the first song is the most rocking song on the record and one of my favorites by him. “My Life” is another one I got sick of hearing especially after it became the theme of a TV show. The album has a couple of Jazzy songs “Zanzibar” and “Rosalinda’s Eyes” and a couple of soul inspired songs “Half A Mile Away” and “Until The Night”. The album won a Grammy for Album of the Year.This is a used one I bought for a couple of dollars a couple of years ago. The cover and record are in good shape.
