  • The Bridge is Billy Joel's 10th studio album released by Columbia Records in 1986 and it was produced by Phil Ramone. This album had several successful singles, including "A Matter of Trust" (peaking at #10), "Modern Woman" (from the Ruthless People soundtrack, peaking at #10), and "This Is the Time" (peaking at #18). Joel began work on the album in 1985 and it would become The Bridge in early 1986. Ray Charles, one of Joel's heroes, sang a duet with Joel on the song "Baby Grand" and Steve Winwood played Hammond organ on the song "Getting Closer. " The final song recorded for the album was "Code Of Silence. " Cyndi Lauper appears on that song, contributing backing vocals. She is also credited as co-lyricist for the song. Though it broke into the Top Ten, The Bridge was not a success in relation to some of Joel's other albums, but it yielded the hit "A Matter Of Trust. " In a departure from his "piano man" persona, Joel is shown in its video as playing a Les Paul-autographed Gibson guitar. In the song "Big Man on Mulberry Street" Joel describes what his childhood street hang life was like. He shows the emotions behind being the big man on Mulberry Street, supposedly the place where he grew up. The ballad "This Is the Time" also charted, and has been a favorite on the prom circuit ever since. "Modern Woman" was also released as a single and was quite successful, but Joel has since said in interviews he does not care for the song, and subsequently it has been left off most of his compilation sets (the exception appears to be My Lives and The Ultimate Collection). The Bridge was Billy's last album to carry the "Family Productions" logo.
