Billy Joel

In the seventies Billy Joel revived interest in rock and roll led by the piano instead of the guitar, inspired by the likes of Little Richard and Fats Domino. As such music had not been seen in many years, he was greatly successful. His style was different, he fit in with the fifties revival, and it was nostalgic for the older generations. He was accompanied by glam rocker Elton John, also greatly successful. Joel went on to provide the song Why Should I Worry for the Disney Film Oliver and Company. Unfortunately he was not inducted his first year of eligibility. His hit The Longest Time was done in a unique acapella style.
