Piano Man

"Piano Man" is the first single released by Billy Joel. It was released on November 2, 1973, and has been on several albums. Billy Joel's first major hit and his signature song, the song peaked at #25 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in April 1974

"Piano Man" is a fictionalized retelling of Joel's experience as a piano-lounge singer for six months in 1972

When originally issued as a single, the song was deemed too long by Columbia Records executives

(5 minutes and 38 seconds), so two verses were cut in half and spliced together for the release as a 45, clocking in at 4 minutes and 33 seconds
