Billy Joel releases single "Piano Man" 1973


My man Billy Joel released the single Piano Man November 2, 1973.  It was the first single from the album of the same name, which he released November 9. It was a moderate hit hit only reaching #25 on the Billboard Hot 100.  After he released his next album The Stranger, his breakthrough album, Piano Man became one of his best-known, most-beloved songs.

In 2015, it was selected to be preserved by the Library of Congress' National Recording Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
