Billy Joel

In March 1984, Billy Joel was riding high on the success of his multi-platinum album 'An Innocent Man,' which had been released the previous year. This period marked a significant turning point in his career, as he embraced a more pop-oriented sound that resonated with a broader audience. The live recording of 'Don't Ask Me Why' at the Wembley concert showcases not only his vocal prowess but also his knack for storytelling through music. Interestingly, during this time, Joel was also experimenting with different musical styles, blending elements of rock, jazz, and doo-wop, which is evident in his dynamic performances. Notably, this concert would later symbolize his global appeal, as 'An Innocent Man' solidified his status as one of the leading figures in pop music during the 1980s.
