Information AboutThe Stranger (album) |
''The Stranger'' is the fifth studio album by Billy Joel , released in 1977 (see 1977 In Music ). While his four previous albums were moderately successful, this was his breakthrough album, peaking at #2 on the U.S. album charts. It remains Joel's best-selling non-compilation album to date. Singles released from the album include "Just The Way You Are," the acoustic ballad "She's Always A Woman," the mildly controversial "Only The Good Die Young," and "Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)," which was later used as the theme song of the Broadway Musical based on Billy Joel's songs. This album overtook Simon And Garfunkel 's Bridge Over Troubled Water album to become the best-selling album on the Columbia Records imprint at the time. It was also the last Billy Joel album to carry the "Family Productions" logo, satisfying the terms of his 1974 contract buyout.
