Joey & The Sting Rays featuring Joey on vocals and keyboard for the song "Piano man" originally done by Billy Joel.

(FYI)
"Piano Man" is a fictionalized retelling of real people Joel met during his days as a piano-lounge singer in Los Angeles at the Executive Lounge after the failure of his first album, Cold Spring Harbor.Joel's own personal feelings about this failure are expressed in the failed dreams of the characters in his song. At the time, Joel was trying to get out of a bad deal with the record company Family Productions, so, according to Joel, he was "hiding out" at the bar, performing under the name Bill Martin while Columbia Records tried to get him out of the deal.
