52nd Street (1978)

By Billy Joel

Piano pop with a jazz streak, cut with jazz session players Joel hired to push past his earlier records, and named for the Manhattan street where his label and his studio sat. It gave the singer-songwriter behind The Stranger his first Billboard 200 number one, three Top 40 singles (My Life, Big Shot, Honesty) and a Grammy for Album of the Year.
