I'm a piano player and I feel I can relate to his chord changes and song structures. I bought the vinyl "Night and Day" back in the early 80s and was hooked. "TV Age" and "Cancer" are pretty funny.

You should listen to "Live in New York". It was recorded at Joe's Pub in New York City in 2000. I've also got a double CD.

I must admit that I didn't know who the artist was for either of these songs. TexasTowelie Aug 2014 #2

Joe Jackson had a couple of hits earlier, before "Steppin' Out" Manifestor_of_Light Aug 2014 #4
