Virtually unknown, this performance would expose him to a large national viewing audience for the very first time. Billy Joel performed the songs “The Ballad Of Billy The Kid” and “Piano Man”. Although brief, this remarkable performance would significantly help kick-start a monumentally successful career that has spanned several decades.
