A further three songs were released from the album: "The Longest Time", "Leave A Tender Moment Alone", and "Keeping the Faith".
This album is Joel's tribute to the music of his childhood. Joel considers this a "singer's album," and pays homage to a number of different musical styles, including: * "Tell Her About It" - An homage to Motown * "Uptown Girl" - An homage to Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons * "The Longest Time" - An homage to the doo-wop style made popular in the mid-1950's. This song required 14 background vocal tracks, each of which were done by Joel and pieced together in production. * "This Night" - Uses Beethoven's Pathetique Sonata as the basis for the chorus.
