[Spoken: Billy Joel & Bradshaw Leigh]
52nd Street was a very confident album
I didn't wanna repeat The Stranger
I was tryna think, "What's the theme of this album?"
"What is this album? Where are we?"
The studio where we recorded was right on 52nd Street
52nd Street was a very famous street at one time
In the '40s and '50s, it was called Swing Street
At that time, many jazz musicians had a club on 52nd Street
