The talent runs DEEP in that family…Billy of course, is incredibly talented. But his dad played, his mother sang, his brother plays and conducts, his daughter Alexa is a singer-songwriter and plays piano beautifully, and his two younger daughters (Della and Remy) are into music now too.

I was thinking the same. Wow! And Billy's father was gone most of his life from the time he was a young boy.
@Jamestele1 Жыл бұрын
What a family. The roots are so musical. Billy's father was a brilliant business man, an incredibly great pianist; his younger brother is very famous if Europe as a classical pianist, and his beautiful daughter plays amazing piano, writes great music and sings really well. If I were a young single, man. Alexa Ray Joel would be my dream lady.

Wow! As a lifelong Billy Joel fan, NY'er and haven't seen him perform countless times I'm truly tearing up with emotions at this historic performance. I just saw Billy at MSG and at one point he looked at the monitor and said, "Holy s**t! I look just like my old man!" It has so much more meaning to me now.

I hope their talent mended damaged relationships. Billy had to be hurt from his father leaving, but I think he understood that his dad was wrecked from the Nazi's, having his business stolen and given to a German family, etc. I know he has spoke of his dad a lot in recent years.

Wow, wonderful! And how cool is it for his father to play that well and to share that experience with his talented son! Question: I'm wondering about any other available Q&A shows on KZfaq, showing him in the states during that time? I have the autographed Kurzweil Mark 150 grand piano sitting in the room here that he played when he was at Franklin & Marshall College, in Lancaster, PA. I'd be ecstatic to find a clip showing him playing that!

Billy had someone look for his dad in the 70s and they reunited. He has said many times that his dad sent checks to his mom when he was younger, so not total abandonment. His dad went through a lot and may have had his own issues to deal with. Wearing an american uniform and being sent back to Germany as a combat soldier in WWII to shoot at the people you grew up with, marching through Nuremberg rounding up Germans and then Dachau would definitely change a person. If Billy can forgive him who am I to judge.
