An innocent Man with Billy Joel

made in 1983, but Billy don't seem to be compromising with the contemporary pop climate, just using it well. Joel still gets good focus on his soul rock with Big Apple background, here a bit closer to Motown, balancing the ballads with doo-wop instead of spaghetti country.
