2231 Billy Joel - She's Always a Woman

From: The Stranger; Year: 1977; Genre: Soft Rock/Pop

For most of the morning I've felt like listening to some Billy Joel. I was actually surprised to see that I haven't picked this track at some point in the last six years.
Both my Mom and Dad have been big fans of his music, so this is another case where I literally grew up listening to his music. They had some of his albums, but I don't believe The Stranger was among them, instead my Dad recorded the hits off of the radio onto an 8-Track recorder, (which I actually have inherited). It's funny, but I can still hear this song fade into Sausalito Summer Nights by Diesel, which was the next song he recorded.
Anyway, this is a rather pretty piece that is basically his voice and piano; recorded with minimal accompaniment.

Hear She's Always a Woman on YouTube.
