Long Island's piano man. 'The Stranger' (1977), '52nd Street,' 'Glass Houses,' 'An Innocent Man,' 'The Nightfly'-adjacent 'River of Dreams' — the Hicksville-to-Hamptons bard whose catalog is permanently woven into American FM radio. The Madison Square Garden monthly residency that started in 2014 ran for a decade and didn't show any sign of slowing until he chose to wind it down. Six Grammys, the whole bridge-and-tunnel mythology, and one of the great American songwriter catalogs of the 20th century.
