Billy Joel A to Z

Miami 2017 (Seen the Lights Go Out on Broadway)

Season 13, Ep. 1

Finally! We made it to an absolute, no one can argue, Billy Joel Classic. Miami 2017 is the eighth and final song off Billy Joel's fourth studio album released May 19, 1976 entitled Turnstiles. Written as a response to President Gerald Ford telling New York City to "Drop Dead", this enduring classic is even more relevant today. He was thinking of making it into a movie but they already had Escape from New York - which is way awesome. 😅
