1985 - Billy Joel - Greatest Hits - Volume I & Volume II.

40 Years Ago - 1985 Billy Joel released Greatest Hits - Volume I & Volume II.

The album includes hits from 1973 to 1985 in chronological order.

It also included two previously unreleased tracks that were released as singles.

"You're Only Human (Second Wind)" The song deals with teenage depression and suicide and Joel donated all royalties to the National Committee for Youth Suicide Prevention.

During the song, Joel audibly chuckles after briefly hesitating and stuttering during one of the verses. At the prompting of Paul Simon and Christie Brinkley, who were listening in the studio, he left it in the finished recording as it seemed to illustrate the song's point about celebrating personal fallibility.

It made #9, #2 AC, and #26 Mainstream Rock.

"The Night Is Still Young" peaked at #34, #13 AC.
