  5. I added a few #doowop #music to my playlist, including Billy Joel's The Longest Time and I have to say...this thing is a rich gift

    I mean, obvs everyone loves it (I remember freezing in my tracks the very first time I heard it on the radio in the 80s). But also consider the fact that he could have made a lot less song and still had an enduring classic.

    It's got *5* verses and 2 bridges in not 3, not 4 but *6* part harmony.

    (On top of the brilliant lines like "I'll take my chances, I forgot how nice romance is" and of course singing it all himself.)
