Great Songs (underrated and long-forgotten category)

Not yet

I was going to mention "I've loved these days" before, but figured most people know Billy's stuff.

"C'Etait Toi (You Were The One)" is also grand.

 

Don't forget "Easy Money." An enjoyable deep cut from "An Innocent Man."

And I know it was a single so it probably doesn't qualify here, but "Keeping The Faith" is my favorite Joel song ever.

 

Two good ones off "An Innocent Man." I'll add "Leave A Tender Moment Alone." Since I also like Stevie Wonder, I can be a bit of a sucker for good harmonica.

 

Am pretty sure Toots Thielemans played harmonica on both you listed.

 

Yes, he did. Never said Stevie Wonder did it, just said that harmonica can help complement the timbre of some music.

But Stevie did play for Sting's "Brand New Day" and James Taylor's "Little More Time With You." The latter is truly outstanding.

 

Stevie also played on Elton John's "I Guess That's Why They Call it the Blues."

 

Oh, I wasn't correcting you, Sam. I was just making an observation.

And I do agree with the rest of what you said.

 

I've always thought that if there was a personal anthem for me in life, this song was it.

 

Amen brother.
