52nd Street is the sixth studio album by American singer-songwriter Billy Joel, released in 1978. The follow-up to his breakthrough success album, The Stranger, Joel tried to give the album a fresh sound, hiring various jazz musicians to make it feel differentiated from his previous album efforts. It was the first of four Joel albums to top the Billboard charts, and it earned him two Grammys.

52nd Street is the sixth studio album by American singer-songwriter Billy Joel, released on October 13, 1978. It was the first of four Joel albums to top the Billboard charts and earned him two Grammys (for a total of four). Three songs reached the Top 40 in the United States, contributing to the album's success: "My Life" ( "Big Shot" ( and "Honesty" (.It was similarly well received by critics, earning the 1979 Grammy for Album of the Year. This Grammy was presented to its producer, Phil Ramone. Half a Mile Away" – 4:08. Until the Night" – 6:35.

They say it takes a lot to keep a love alive In every heart there pumps a different beat But if we shift the rhythm into overdrive Well, we could generate a lot of heat On Fifty Second Street Oh oh Fifty Second Street. We're gonna have a little show parade Before they know the second bar was played We're gonna slip it to 'em short and sweet on Fifty Second Street.

Billy Joel - 52nd Street - Album Cover Location. The album was released on October 13, 1978 by Columbia Records/CBS Inc. Cover photo by Jim Houghton. (Courtesy Columbia Records/CBS Inc. Photo by Jim Houghton. But the books did not have a photo of the wall along 52nd Street that would put Billy's 52nd Street album cover photo in perspective to its surroundings, so I set out to find a picture of the side of the building where Billy was standing all those years ago. I had other pictures of Columbia Studio A, and if you look to the right, they later added "Studio B" (which looks like another boxy shape) but none of the photos showed the "52nd Street" album cover side of the building. Here is the album cover again. So the question was - how to get a picture of this side of the.

Once The Stranger became a hit, Billy Joel quickly re-entered the studio with producer Phil Ramone to record the follow-up, 52nd Street. Instead of breaking from the sound of The Stranger, Joel chose to expand it, making it more sophisticated and somewhat jazzy
