What genre of music is piano man by Billy Joel?

Billy Joel is a tenor. His music is generally highly melodic and fluid and so, therefore, he avoids belting past b4, but early in Billy Joel's career, when he was in the band Attila, he can be heard belting high C's. In his River of Dreams album he can also be heard belting high D5's. This was recorded in 1994 and appears to be his highest sustainable note for several seconds in real head voice. (He can soar above D5 in falsetto and vocal mix.) Currently, if you type into google the title of the following video, "Billy Joel and Jimmy Fallon Form 2-Man Doo-Wop Group Using iPad App", at the time of 3:23 into the video, Billy in 2014 is still singing top A with grace and ease... So Billy Joel has a lyric tenor. Beyond how high a note one can sing, to define a voice classification, one must also look at the singer's tessitura, the singer's most comfortable range. Billy Joel's tessitura on songs like Uptown Girl repeatedly hits A4, and he sounds quite comfortable up around G4 and A4. Yes, baritones can also hit A4's, but they do not stay in the high vocal fach for very long; they sing lower and belt once in a while. Billy Joel, as tenors do, stays in the high range with ease and with lyricism. That said, he does have some nice crooning lows too. But all in all, Billy Joel is definitely a tenor.
