Being a famous vocalist or to have a big recording contract in the music industry, it requires a lot of talent and effort and a bit of luck in connecting with the right people. There are a some television programs playing that show how many talented musicians and singers that exist and have yet to make it such as American Idol or the X Factor in Britain. Some of the huge stars who have been around for years are talented vocalists in addition to accomplished pianists like Elton John, Billy Joel and Alicia Keyes. Several times they are seen seated on piano bench cushions or a piano bench cushion tickling the ivories while belting out a great tune. This article will talk about these stars in greater detail.
Elton John has been making music his entire life and became very popular in the 1970's as the eccentric musican that sat at the piano wearing crazy outfits, huge sunglasses and producing hit after hit from his British label. His talent even earned him to the title of Knight from the Queen and often is called Sir Elton today. His extensive work in charities particularly the Aids foundation has raised millions of dollars and this charitable part of him led him to become close with the late Princess Diana. He was asked to sing at her funeral and personalized his old favorite song of “A Candle in the Wind” just for her. He continues to perform and fundraise for his charities and will go down in history as one of the greatest musicians of our time.
The American equivalent in talent and success is Billy Joel. He is a native New Yorker whose career also took off in the 1970's producing many top hits to rise him to the top. Just like Elton John, he is typically seen singing his great songs while sitting and playing on the piano. In fact one of his most popular tunes is named Piano Man. He is one of the most recognized singers of our generation and continues to be in the headlines for his professional life as well as his personal life including his once marriage to supermodel, Christie Brinkley.

A newer but just as talented singer and pianist is Alicia Keyes. She hit the music scene just several years ago when Oprah introduced a young classically trained pianist with a soulful voice that made her sound more mature for her years. She was soon signed by a top record label after that exposure and has gone on to make spectacular music and plays the piano for many of her songs with her talent. She will probably be the Elton John or The Billy Joel for the younger generation.
Many people that are more mature complain about the lack of talent that is making it in the music industry today but no one will dispute the talent of these talented musicians. Their vocals and piano skills are amazing and will be remembered long after they are gone.
