New York State of Mind, Taylor Hicks!

Taylor Hicks covers Billy Joel’s “New York State of Mind”

One of my favorite songs that Billy Joel wrote and recorded is “New York State of Mind.” I am proud of my city and my state and this song says it all. This is one of the best videos I found of Billy Joel singing this song. My friend, Richie Cannata, plays the sax in this video.

At a fundraising event for Hannah Homes in Leeds AL on May 10, 2008, Taylor covered this song. At the time, it was a veiled hint that Taylor was about to star as the Teen Angel in the Broadway revival of Grease. I went to heaven during this song!
