01:11 With over 150 million records sold worldwide Billy Joel has been a major

01:20 force in the music industry for several decades. I don't hate the song I just don't

01:25 think it's very good music. I don't think it's much of a melody. From his early

01:28 beginnings as a struggling musician in New York City to becoming one of the

01:32 best-selling artists of all time Joel's journey is one of perseverance and

01:35 passion. He has inspired countless other artists with his unique blend of rock

01:40 pop and soul music leaving a lasting impact on the industry.

01:45 The piano man attending the event was extremely legendary. Billy accompanied by

01:54 his stunning wife Alexis Roderick and their adorable daughters Della Rose and

01:58 Remi-Anne turned heads on the red carpet. Alexis looked stunning in a floor-length

02:03 gown embellished with sparkles while the little Joel is dazzled in their dressy

02:07 twinning outfits complete with glistening bodices and chic silver

02:11 necklaces and of course a dash of red on their lips. A family affair to remember

02:16 at this year's Grammys. And despite achieving widespread success and

02:20 critical acclaim throughout his career Billy Joel has always remained true to

02:24 himself and his craft. His lyrics are honest and relatable often reflecting on

02:28 love relationships and the human experience. Songs like "Piano Man" "Just

02:32 the Way You Are" and "Uptown Girl" have become timeless classics resonating with

02:37 listeners of all ages. But beyond his musical talent Billy Joel is simply just

02:41 an icon for his behavior. Let me know what you think about the Grammys this
