Ronnie and the E St Band show how you can take a whiny song and turn it into a full blown anthem. Doesn't make me like Billy Joel any better.
ReplyDeleteDidn't know that song actually got an official release. I have a white label DJ version which I was told was the only version that came out.
Great minds think alike! The ONLY two songs by Mr. Joel I can stand.

ReplyDeleteI've got a picture sleeve copy of the Ronnie Spector 45 (with the E St. Band), so it was released.
No complaints about "All for Leyna", but if I'm going to hear one song off _Glass Houses_ it's "Sleeping With the Television On" .
