比利·乔1949年5月9日出生于纽约的希克斯维尔。4岁就开始接受钢琴训练，虽然7 岁时父亲的弃家，使他和母亲二人陷于困境，但比利·乔从未放弃对音乐的浓厚兴趣。

1968 年比利·乔就以一名自弹自唱的民谣歌手形象出现在歌坛上，多年不得志的日子并没有使比利·乔失掉音乐创作的信心，反而使他愈挫愈勇，坚守自己独树一帜的创作风格，终于在Bee Gees把迪斯科带向疯狂的时期，比利·乔竟以一张名为《The Stranger》的专辑异军突起， 并不受当时潮流的影响而获得了空前的成功，在当年格兰梅大奖中比利·乔以一首《Just The Way You Are》连获“最佳唱片”与“最佳歌曲”两项最高荣誉。

紧接着格兰梅奖中比利·乔又以一张《52nd Streed》的优异表现获得了两个大奖，专辑打头阵推出的一首单曲《My Life》，告诉人们，不要怕别人对你的看法，应履行你自己的人生。

80 年代初， 比利·乔推出摇滚专辑《Glass Honses》受到音乐学术界的好评，并使得他夺得了23届葛莱美“最佳摇滚男歌手”奖。随后他再接再厉推出了一张复古式的摇滚大作《An Lunoceent Man》，其中《Up Town Girl》、《The Longest Time》等5首单曲进入了单曲排行榜，歌迷为之疯狂。比利·乔可以说是五、六十年代摇滚乐所繁衍的后代，加之他坚持自己的风格而不随波逐流，并保持虚心的态度，所以在歌坛不断取胜。

Victor was born
The spring of 44
and never saw
His father anymore
The child of sacrifice
child of war
Another son who never had
A father after Leningrad
Went off to school
and learned to serve his state
follow the rules
and drank his vodka straight
the only way to live
was drown the hate
the russian life was very sad
and such was life in Leningrad

I was born in 49
A cold war kid in the McCarthy times
Stop \'em at the 38th parallel
blast those yellow reds to hell
cold war kids were hard to kill
under their desks in an air raid drill
haven\'t they heard we won the war
what do they keep on fighting for?

Victor was sent
to some red army town
served out his time
became a circus clown
the greastst happiness
he\'d ever found
was making russian children glad
when children lived in Leningrad.

The children lived in Levittown
hid in the shelters underground
Til the soviets turned their ships around
torn the cuban missiles down
and in that bright October sun
we knew our childhood days were done
I watched my friends go off to war
What do they keep on fighting for?

So my child and I came to this place
to meet him , eye to eye and face to face
He made my daughter laugh
Then we embraced
We never knew what friends we had
Until we came to Leningrad.

   我看过一部不怎么出名的电影《13 going on 30》，在自己收集的一大堆伪高清的电影里就这部是标准的720P，赫赫。电影高潮部分就是主人公失意那块给了这首歌《vienna》，Billy Joel，然后才接触这个80年代流行于美国的歌手。在诸如楼主这样的发烧友面前我就不入流啦，哈哈。
  这首歌没在精选里面。在他1977年《The Stranger》里的，酷狗可以找到，听听吧。
   Leningrad和lullaby挺好听的。
  我峨嵋的，老乡。
