"You May Be Right" is a single written and performed by rock singer Billy Joel from his 1980 album Glass Houses. The song reached #7 on the US charts and #6 in Canada. It failed to chart, however, in the UK. This is unlike his preceding and succeeding singles "All for Leyna" (UK #40) and "It's Still Rock and Roll to Me" (UK #14). The Japanese single features "Close to the Borderline" as a B-side.
For all the "Yes Man" of our world, you may be wrong!!!
Peace and love to all peoples!!!

One of my favourite Billy joel songs . i don't think i have ever heard a cover of it before, This is really great you turned into a rockabilly style version, and its so much fun to hear. very good enjoyed this , going to play again
Great cover and not regularly done but you have done a outstanding job of this
Tim
very cool to see the great Rene on the juke box list... now I can grab downloads for the road...
I realize it's likely sacrilege for me to say this but if I never heard another Billy Joel song ever it would in no way negatively impact my life... I just never got his vibe, honestly... having said that you did one heck of a job on this!
A cool cover of this song Rene! Your acoustic versions works very well. My former cover band, in the eighties, had this song on our gig list and it always went over well. Your vocal and playing are excellent!

Hi Trist,
One of my fav as well.
Quite challenging song, and I keep making mistakes on the lyrics, as they just keep coming at you fast.
Love your wonderful comments.
Thank you.

...good thing you're in your own personal juke box, Rene
Good song ...I didn't know Billy Joel well...the only song I knew was "The longest Time"...I don't think there was a cover of this song (not easy) on SC
...I tried it too hard for me
Maybe Pipe could do it ;)
Well done! You get such a good sound in that room. What is your mic and gear setup for recording? It can't possibly just be you singing into your phone or laptop mic.
When I was much younger – starting in my late teens and continuing to my early 20s – I had a years-long crush on a girl/woman who was this wholesome Catholic virgin. And she also loved Billy Joel. I loved to point out the "bad boy" aspects of Billy Joel lyrics, particularly this song and "Only the Good Die Young."
Love your interpretation.
BTW: I accessed this from your jukebox. Thanks for uploading MP3s!
I miss those videos (I'll have to search YT for them because I enjoy them so much).
Excellent cover!

Love the version you have done.
I love the way you hold on to those notes.
I liked the original of this but this version is so good.
Glad to see your getting the mp3 on now ,its so much better for us.
Im a fan.
Alright, in the jukebox!! and one of my favorite Billy Joel songs. Well done with this cover, I enjoy hearing you play it.
"Don't Take any shit from anyone!" -Billy Joel
"Rock on" -Hook

Hi Jean,
Huge compliments coming from you, my friend!!!
You are absolutely right, I had a hard challenge with this song, and persistence and a lot of luck, got me to this version.
Thank you, as always, Jean!!!
Stay well!

Hi Ted,
Thanks for the wonderful feedback.
I love your Billy Joel story, and particularly love your "crush" story as well.
I have to agree with you, I am getting very good sound from my music room, combined with my current recording set=up.
The sound is also being generating with all the acoustic instruments inside the room.
Here is my set-up:
2 mics; Shure SM-58 (guitar), and Ear Trumpet Labs "Edwina" (vocals)
INTO - Yamaha MG10FX Mixer (I am using room reverb #6)
INTO - UAD Volt 2/76 Audio Interface (love the built-in compressor and vintage mic preamp)
INTO - IMAC, I am using Quick Time Player recording a movie
Thanks for asking.
Rene

Not familiar with the original, but really enjoyed this cover, great playing and singing!
Listened to this on your youtube. Nice job. You are killing me with your song/artist choices - everything I love. In fact I had just been to see a Billy Joel Tribute band a couple days before I saw your video, so I was in a "Billy Joel state of mind" and ready to appreciate your version!
