Billy Joel
An Innocent Man
(Columbia)
Release Date: 01/01/1983 12:00

His Christie Brinkley State of Mind album (he had recently begun dating the supermodel), this collection of barefaced salutes to Otis Redding, Frankie Valli and “Stand by Me” was unabashedly corny in its re–creation of ’50s pop and ’60s R&B. Even if he threw his good fortune in our faces with “Christie Lee,” there was no denying the exuberance and joy in what he called his “valentine” to his second (but not last) wife.

Download: “Uptown Girl,” “Easy Money”
