Bright colored pinwheels go 'round in my head.
Recently, I have been listening to a lot of Billy Joel, in particular his albums with Phil Ramone ("The Stranger," "52nd Street," and "Glass Houses"). I knew that Phil Ramone produced Karen's solo work in NYC in 1979, but what I didn't know was just how many musicians overlapped between Karen's solo recordings and Billy Joel's studio recordings. Some examples include Russell Javors on guitar, Doug Stegmeyer on bass, and Liberty DeVitto on drums.
Does anyone know if there was a connection between Karen and Billy Joel apart from Phil Ramone? Or did Phil Ramone just convince Billy Joel's band to help out? Would be interesting in knowing if there's more to this story than meets the eye.
