He's also on of the few whose voice has not Deteriorated by much in his old age. He still sounds Great. Can't say the same for others.

This song was playing regularly on the radio exactly when my parents were getting a divorce. I was 3.5, so it was an unsettling period for me. My mom really loves Billy Joel and she dubbed this one “our song”. I’ve loved it ever since.

@@CousinCosta Except for the last bit of harmonizing I think it comes off pretty good. The band does a heroic job of filling in for Billy's triple- or quadruple-tracked harmonies on the record. Everyone does more than "get a song out of it"! Cheers lady and gents!
"everything else was taken"... love it. (on the record, EVERY voice is Billy...)

one of the many reasons why cloning is necessary, we need three more Billy Joels so we can have a truly proper live version of Longest Time. or a time machine, either is much appreciated

I heard this song as a child in the mid 80's. I remember being captivated by the sound / harmony. It is the song that pushed me towards music. Highschool band, my own band, and later writing music note by note, measure by measure. It's on odd thing to some. But this song alone became my personal inspiration to explore music and become quite fascinated with sound (laughter, voices, impressions, etc.) So... Thanks for that. =]

Doesn't do it often I think because he had knee and hip replacements, and this song invites a lot of moving around. Check out the 1984 vid of him doing this live in concert. Youth, hair, finger snaps, lots of movement! Getting old sucks the wang. But it beats the alternative right? Fortunately his voice.. and his love for what he does, has never failed him! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z9SCY8eczq6ph2w.html
