    Daft Punk sampled this song from Billy Joel's "The Stranger" in their song "High Fidelity." -- This won Grammy Awards for Song of the Year and Record of the Year at the 1979 ceremony. It was a breakthrough for Joel, whose biggest hit to this point was "Piano Man," which reached #25 in the US Joel told USA Today July 9, 2008: "I was absolutely surprised it won a Grammy. It wasn't even rock 'n' roll, it was like a standard with a little bit of R&B in it. It reminded me of an old Stevie Wonder recording." -- Joel's longtime drummer Liberty DeVitto considers his work on this track his greatest contribution to a Billy Joel song. In an interview, DeVitto said: "Me and [producer] Phil Ramone came up with that kind of crazy rhythm that started out as a samba beat, like a bossa nova with a brush and a stick." Phil Woods played the alto saxophone for this song.
