Lords of 52nd Street - Legends of the Billy Joel band featuring saxophonist Richie Cannata, drummer Liberty Divetto and guitarist Russell Javors. In 1975 when Billy Joel was looking for a new band, these musicians were selected by Billy Joel and Phil Ramone to record and tour the album Turnstiles and were coined The Lords of 52nd Street. They also recorded the album The Stranger which was a commercial success, it holds a RIAA diamond certification (10x platinum), and several #1 singles including, “Only The Good Die Young” and “Just The Way You Are.” The Lords of 52nd Street helped Joel establish a popular music career and his formidable sound. Joel and The Lords of 52nd Street returned to the studio, and recorded Grammy award winning albums including, 52nd Street, Glass Houses, and The Nylon Curtain. The band recorded and toured with Joel for over a decade. They are New York’s favorite band, and they continue to perform their legendary hits still to this day.
