Billy Steinberg

As one of pop music's most distinguished songwriters, Billy Steinberg has collaborated on such career-defining songs like "True Colors" (Cyndi Lauper);  "Eternal Flame" (The Bangles), "Like a Virgin" (Madonna), "I'll Stand By You" (The Pretenders) and "Falling Into You" (Celine Dion). Meet this Songwriters Hall of Fame honoree as Billy recounts his history of growing up in Palm Springs, CA, an education at Bard College, and his unsuccessful career with the band Billy Thermal where he realized that writing songs for other artists would be his destiny.
