Poem of Kindness, a masterpiece of 70's soft rock.
This single, known as "Just the Way You Are," is one of Billy Joel's masterpieces and a defining song of his career. Its jazzy arrangement and inclusive lyrics have touched the hearts of many
The hit single "Just The Way You Are" from the album "The Stranger" (1977) is a timeless ballad that expresses a wish for a lover to "stay the same" with simple words and beautiful chord progressions. David Sanborn's saxophone solo adds an urban and sophisticated flavor to this song. The flip side, "Get It Right The First Time," is a little more up-tempo, with groovy electric piano and Joel's unique rhythmic sense. This album shows his maturity as a singer-songwriter, and proves why he is not just a hit maker, but is loved across genres.
