"The Longest Time" is from Joel's 1983 album "An Innocent Man," which was a salute to the different styles of music that he had always enjoyed while growing up. For instance, "Uptown Girl" is a homage to Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. The album's title song is a tribute to Ben E. King, who once sang with the Drifters, and Joel sings it in King's style. As for "The Longest Time," it's an a capella homage to the doo woppers of the 1950s.
