Phil Ramone, the legendary producer who helped create Billy Joel’s iconic sound, created the Phil Ramone Orchestra for Children to bring music to the lives of youths, especially to those in under-served areas. It was Ramone, along with Joel who coined Liberty DeVitto, Richie Cannata, Russell Javors and Doug Stegmeyer as The Lords of 52nd Street, and went into Columbia Studios to record, “The Stranger.” The album 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, alongside the Piano Man, led an international tour, and performed at famous arenas including, Wembley Stadium, Royal Albert Hall, the Sydney Opera House, Nassau Coliseum, Madison Square Garden, Carnegie Hall, Budokan, the LA Forum and many others.
