Celebrating Grammy awards and the RECORD of the year, and the SONG of 1978 - Billy Joel's 'Just the Way You Are' - a pop standard.

Johnny Mathis and Deniece Williams recorded a version for Johnny's 'You Light Up My Life' LP, and Barry White featured the track on his 1978 album 'The Man'. His version was an R&B hit in America, and a big pop hit in Britain #12 (ironically it was a bigger success than Joel's which reached #19). 

It is such a beautiful song it warrants more tributes - and these performers do it great justice. Enjoy!
