Description: Billy Joel leans against a brick wall in Brooklyn’s Sunset Park on the cover of *52nd Street*, horn case at his feet, looking less like a pop superstar and more like a working‑class jazz cat between gigs. The title nods to Manhattan’s famed jazz corridor, but the image roots Joel firmly in the blue‑collar borough where he grew up, symbolizing how his sophisticated late‑’70s sound still sprang from street‑level New York grit. Standing on this spot in Brooklyn, you can almost hear the brassy edge of “Big Shot” or “My Life” echoing off the bricks and fire escapes. It’s one of the stops in the MusicRoadTrip.com App.
