Document 3: Billy Joel Band: The Billy Joel Band is the band that backs singer-songwriter and pianist Billy Joel on both studio and live recordings. The band stabilized around 1975 but underwent several lineup changes in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Joel's touring band as a whole did not begin playing on his records until he recorded the album "Turnstiles" in 1976. This line-up included Richie Cannata on saxophones and organ, Liberty DeVitto on drums, Russell Javors on guitar, and Doug Stegmeyer on bass.
Document 4: She's Always a Woman: The song was released in 1977, following several other hits from The Stranger including ``Just the Way You Are '',`` Movin 'Out (Anthony's Song)'' and ``Only the Good Die Young ''. Musically, Joel has said that he was influenced by Gordon Lightfoot and his mellow acoustic guitar ballads. It is a love song that Joel wrote for his then wife, Elizabeth Weber. Elizabeth had taken over management of Joel's career, and was able to put his financial affairs in order after Joel had signed some bad deals and contracts. She was a tough and savvy negotiator who could`` wound with her eyes'' or ``steal like a thief '', but would`` never give in''. Because of her tough - as - nails negotiating style, many business adversaries thought she was ``unfeminine, ''but to Joel, she was always a woman. The two eventually divorced in 1982.

The song peaked at #34 on the US charts, a Top 40 hit for Joel that year. The song is a cynical and somewhat satirical look at the fleeting fame of a musician and fickle public tastes ("Today I am your champion / I may have won your hearts / But I know the game / You'll forget my name / And I won't be here / in another year / if I don't stay on the charts"); this theme would be examined in the later song "It's Still Rock and Roll to Me".
