D11. The Piano Men - Five Greats

Since bursting on the scene in the 1970’s, the great song writer and artist Billy Joel has been known as the “Piano Man”, and the song of that name from his first album has been his signature song ever since.  Not to be overlooked, there have been a number of other great songwriters and artists whose principal instrument has been the piano – notably Elton John, Barry Manilow, Jackson Browne, and Ray Charles.  This course will feature many of the great musical compositions and performances of these wonderful talents who have enriched our lives so much with their music.  One artist will be featured each week throughout this 5-week course.
