My man Billy Joel won two Grammy awards for Just the Way You Are, a track from his fifth studio album, The Stranger, at the awards show on February 15, 1979. It was his first gold single in the U.S. and it topped Billboard's Easy Listening Chart for all of January 1978.
It won for Record of the Year and Song of the Year for 1979.
According to wikipedia, Billy didn't like the song even though he wrote it and didn't want to include it on the album, but Linda Ronstadt and Phoebe Snow convinced him to include it.
We're all glad they did!
