Billy Joel Covers Paul McCartney’s ‘Maybe I’m Amazed’ [Video]

Billy Joel is one of the many artists featured on the upcoming Paul McCartney tribute album, “The Art of McCartney.” The Long Island rocker performs a cover of  “Maybe I’m Amazed,” from Paul’s 1970 solo debut “McCartney” and the track is now online.

Using the 1976 live version from "Wings Over America" as his guide, Billy gives it a raw, emotive touch that is reminiscent of Joel's early albums.

The “Piano Man” also recorded a cover McCartney’s Bond theme “Live and Let Die,” which caused Billy to pop a piano string while recording. "Paul stepped up to the plate and knocked it out of the park," Joel says of the track. "I love the song; it's kind of a whacked song. We used to do it at sound check; matter of fact we still do it at sound check. It's just fun to play because it's so over-the-top."

The Art of McCartney, which features Bob Dylan ("Things We Said Today"), Brian Wilson ("Wanderlust"),Barry Gibb ("When I'm 64"), B.B. King ("On the Way"), Chrissie Hynde ("Let It Be"), Smokey Robinson ("So Bad"), Heart ("Letting Go") and many more, drops November 18th.
