π‘·π’Šπ’‚π’π’ 𝑴𝒂𝒏 was a song Billy Joel wrote about his time playing a Los Angeles piano bar called The Executive Room. Unable to use his better known name, he perfomed under the pseudonym 'Bill Martin'. All of the characters depicted in the song were based on real people he met. Billy was in LA hiding out from his New York-based record label who had stuffed up the release of his debut album, Cold Spring Harbor. A production error with the vinyl made the songs play too fast and made Billy sound like a chipmonk! Unfortunately neither the piano bar or the building on Wilshire Boulevard in which it was located exists today, it was knocked down to make way for a shopping mall. #pianoman#billyjoel#piano#coveroriginal sound

π‘ͺπ’“π’π’„π’π’…π’Šπ’π’† π‘Ήπ’π’„π’Œ was inspired by Elton John's discovery of Aussie band Daddy Cool and their hit single 'Eagle Rock' - yep, it's true 😲 Elton heard the song while on tour in Australia in 1972. He bought a copy of the single and both he and Bernie were inspired to write a song about an animal dance 🐊 The song they came up with took a nostalgic look at early rock 'n' roll, pop culture, dating and youthful independence of the 70s. #eltonjohn #crocodilerock #piano #cover

𝑰 𝑱𝒖𝒔𝒕 π‘ͺ𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒅 𝑻𝒐 π‘Ίπ’‚π’š 𝑰 𝑳𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒀𝒐𝒖 is Stevie Wonder's best-selling single to date, from the soundtrack to the 1984 film 'The Woman In Red'. The album features songs performed by both Stevie and Dionne Warwick, who was the 'song coordinator' on the film and suggested Stevie to the producers. The song is simply about surprising your love with an unexpected telephone call. Stevie created the entire track himself, playing every instrument, producing it and of course performing the vocals. #steviewonder #ijustcalledtosayiloveyou #piano #cover
