Billy Joel
Born on May 9, 1949, in Hicksville, Long Island, Billy Joel dominated the pop charts in the ’70s and ’80s. Joel played in a succession of bands as a teenager in the ’60s. When Joel found his musical career floundering in 1970, after the duo he formed with a friend, Attila, failed, Joel attempted suicide and was treated for clinical depression. While his major-label debut, Piano Man, landed him on the charts in 1973, his albums The Stranger in ’77 and 52nd Street in ’78 each sold millions of copies and won multiple Grammys.Reviews
