Lyrics:
She cuts you once, she cuts you twice
But still you believe
The wound is so fresh you can taste the blood
But you don't have strength to leave
You've been bought, you've been sold
You've been locked outside the door
But you stand there pleadin'
With your insides bleedin'
'Cause deep down you want some more
Then she says she wants forgiveness
It's such a clever masquerade
She's so good with her stiletto
You don't even see the blade

At his peak Elton John outshown Billy Joel in record sales. But Elton was supported by Bernie Taupin's brilliant but often obscure lyrics. Elton would never have achieved his level of success without Bernie, who in my opinion never received enough credit. On the other hand Billy was the complete package. Outstanding musically but oh his lyrics! What incredible stories they told!

Can we pleeeez STAHP with the "underrated" claims? The "52nd Street" album was Album Of The Year in '79, won TWO Grammys plus an AMA nom, was one of the biggest albums of the entire decade, & is still ranked as one of the 500 Greatest Albums Of ALL Time....Radio, DJs, & skating rinks across the nation played the living HELL out of this entire album back in '79-'80-'81, so there isn't ONE song on there that can be labeled as "underrated". To this very day, all cuts from album are classic rock station staples -- Go turn on your local classic rock radio station for a couple of hours & i guaran-damn-tee you will hear 2-3 tracks including "Stiletto".....And on top of all that, this supposedly "underrated" song went on to become the basis sample loop for one of the biggest & most classic hip-hop songs of the late '80s-early '90s, "Road To Riches"

This uptempo piece is about an irresistible but dangerous woman who wields emotional manipulation like a sharp blade. On “52nd Street” (1978), a jazzy send-up to Manhattan’s nightlife, Billy Joel reunited with Phil Ramone, producer of his breakthrough LP “The Stranger” in 1977. For its follow-up, Ramone encouraged Joel to shift his musical direction and experiment jazz. The album won two Grammy Awards in 1980 : Best Male Pop Vocal Performance & Album of the Year. The funky bass lines, finger snaps and cliffhanger breaks were added after Joel listened to the first playbacks and decided the song needed a visceral hook to create the right tension. Ramone wrote : “Memorable fills, phrases and breaks - such as the one on ‘Stiletto’ - are what set the best records apart. These devices are especially effective when they’re heard at the beginning of a song […].” Ramone explained how drummer Liberty DeVitto nailed the sound effect of a switchblade clicking open : “It had rained that day, so we got an umbrella and Liberty practiced opening it so the timing would be right. We begin recording … here comes the take… and SNAP! The umbrella flew right off the top of the handle. The timing - and the sound - couldn’t have been better.” 💚☂️💛

"When I was five years old, I realized there was a road at the end, I will win lots of pots of gold. Never took a break, never made a mistake took time to create 'cause there's money to make. To be a billionaire takes hard work for years, some nights I shed a tear while I said a prayer. Been through hard times, even worked part time in a Key Food store sweeping floors for dimes. I was sort of a porter taking the next man's orders breaking my back for a shack from headquarters. All my manpower for four bucks an hour, took my time and wrote rhymes in the shower. Shoes are scuffed 'cause the road gets rough but I'mma rock it 'cause my pockets ain't stuffed enough. All the freaks wouldn't speak 'cause my checks were weak, they would turn the other cheek, so I started to seek... a way to get a play, and maybe one day I'll be performing up a storm for a decent pay. No matter how it seems, I always kept the dream all the girlies screamed and suckers get creamed. Dreamed about it for five years straight... finally, I got a break to cut my first plate. The road ain't yellow and it ain't no witches My name is Kool G Rap, I'm on the Road To The Riches."

very good. love it. Congrats. Nice work. However, it could be polished better. Don't think your work is sacred the way it comes off the top of your head.

Been through hard times, even worked part time At the "Loco Lime" sweepin floors for thin dimes. ... Bidin' time and writin' rhymes... ... All the freaks wouldn't speak cuz my rhymes were weak ...

I will pay good money to sit through a LIVE 12-minute version of Stiletto. To me, it is easily worth $5,000 to have that once-in-a-lifetime experience captured in my brain forever.

The piano solo is badass. The drums are slammin' and Billy does some lovely chord vamping over those key changes and the walking bass lines. :) ----> 2:03

A fine marriage of Hammond B3 and Leslie speaker.

Will always remember this song from my sophomore year in college and dancing around inside my room...one of my favorites of his along with Root Beer Rag. Got to see him the following year (1981?) and loved when he started playing "Live and Let Die" and the crowd went crazy.
