Send us Fan MailThis week we look at The Stranger, Billy Joel’s 1978 tour de force. Teaming up with producer Phil Ramone for his fifth LP The Stranger, Billy Joel finally found the critical and commercial success that had eluded him previously.

Containing such Joel standards as "Just the Way You Are", "Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)", "Only the Good Die Young", and "She's Always a Woman"; as well as fan favorites "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant" and "Vienna,” The Stranger would eventually sell over 10 million copies on its way to becoming Columbia's bestselling release of all time.Visit us at www.tappingvinyl.com.
