On this date in 1980 Billy Joel topped the album chart with “Glass Houses”. The album sold over 7 million copies and featured his first ever #1 hit “It’s Still Rock and Roll to Me”, along with “You May Be Right”, “Don’t Ask Me Why” and today’s Forgotten 45, “Sometimes a Fantasy”.

The song was the final single from the album and reached #36 on the charts. Billy still sell outs large arenas all over the world but mostly these days at his home in New York’s Madison Square Garden.

Check out the video to “Sometimes a Fantasy” today’s Forgotten 45 at 3:45.
