Elton John has had 8 songs hit #1 in the U.S. how many number one hits has elton john had worldwide?
A tempo in a piano are the numbers that are one on top of the other. 4 over 4 means you play in four/four time which is the basest beat there is, bum ... bum ... bum ... bum. 6 over 8 means you play in 6/8 time, which is bum ... bubum ... bum ... bubum. There are more but those are the basest and the hardest.
He is alright, although it has been rumored that he has recently started drinking excessively again [possibly due to his recent divorce].
Michael Jackson wrote this song as a disclaimer of a child. A woman named Billie Jean had reported to media that her child was Michael Jackson's child, probably just for attention. Of course, this wasn't true, and they finally did DNA testings to prove this (the kid ended up not being MJ's) and Michael wrote a song about it to claim that Billie Jean's accusation was false. In the song, it says "Billie Jean is not my lover, she's just the girl who claims that I am the one. But the kid is not my son." and I think that is pretty self explanatory.
The first song Billie Joe sang was "Look for Love" which he recorded when he was 5 yrs old. Since then he has sang all of the songs for Green Day (with the exception of their two instrumental songs "Espionage" and "Last Ride In". "Dominated Love Slave", "All By Myself" [the song after F.O.D.], and "Rock & Roll Girlfriend" [in the song "Homecoming"] were sung by Tre Cool. "Nobody Likes You" [also from the song "Homecoming"] was sung by Mike Dirnt). Billie Joe also sang all the songs for the band Foxboro Hottubs, Pinhead Gunpowder, The Network, and was also featured in a Rancid song with Tim Armstrong (no relation aside from being good friends). How many songs is that all together? A lot.

He is the only singer in this song. The high voice you may have heard was Billy Joel using his falsetto.
Billy Joel recorded the song "Just the Way You Are" in 1977 on his album, The Stranger. It was his first US Top 10 and UK Top 20 single which reached number 3 in the US and it was also his first gold single.
The two met in a Dutch hotel in Amsterdam in the mid-1970's.
Hi The answer to this question is 'Pray'. I am one of the 'origianl' Take That fans from when they shot to fame the first time. They were brill then but they are amazing now. Vicky
Yes. Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley were married. They had one daughter, Alexa Ray. After their divorce in 1994, Joel stopped writing rock music, as was foreshadowed at the end of his song Christie Lee which he wrote before their wedding:
They say that Joe became a wino
They say he only drinks alone
They say he stumbles like a blind man
They say he sold his saxophone.
Even the band must face the music
That's what the moral is to me
The only time you hit the high notes
Is when you play for Christie Lee
Pink long socks.
Garth Brooks covered one of Billy's songs and took it to number one on the country charts, something Joel has not achieved himself. However, that was just a cover, and Joel has not written songs for other artists.
I was watching on tv what would happen with an asteroid strike in any part of the world. One segment of the program centered on how the fire in Peshtigo may have happened. Because of fires that were going on at he same time, the great
chicago fire a meteor may have exploded in the sky causing fires in several states at the same time.
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.
You may be referring to Billy Joel, who had a huge hit with that song; in fact, he won a Grammy for it, in 1978. But more recently, you may be referring to a hit by Bruno Mars from 2010 with the same title, but an entirely different song.
Billy Joel has one sister, she is older, her name is Judith, or Judy.
Actually it's we didn't start the fire and it's a song billy Joel wrote.
I found this on someone's blog/review of one of the Madison Square Garden shows...A surprise to me was the absence of Liberty DeVitto who, according to someone sitting in our section, had a falling out with Joel over a book Liberty's writing that apparently goes into a little too much detail about Billy's days of drinking and drugs. My section-mate claims that Liberty wasn't even invited to Billy's latest wedding. As the man says, "melodrama's so much fun..."

Find dry kindling and arrange it into a thick bed that is sturdy so it does not fall over when lit. Using a long match or piece or wood to light the fire to avoid getting burned. To ensure optimal burning, small bellows can be used to infuse oxygen into the pit.
