THE SONG:

"Uptown Girl" is a song written and performed by American musician Billy Joel from his ninth studio album, An Innocent Man. It was released in September 1983 as the album's second single. "Uptown Girl" peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100. It also reached number one in the United Kingdom, Joel’s only number-one hit in the UK. According to an interview with Howard Stern, Joel had originally titled the song "Uptown Girls", and it was conceived on an occasion when he was surrounded by Christie Brinkley, Whitney Houston and his then-girlfriend Elle MacPherson. According to numerous interviews with Joel, the song was initially written about his relationship with Macpherson but ended up also becoming about his soon-to-be wife, Brinkley. Both women were two of the most famous supermodels of the 1980s. Billy also said that the song was inspired by Frankie Valli's music style and the Four Seasons. Irish pop group Westlife also scored a number on UK hit with their cover of “Uptown Girl”. In December 1985, Princess Diana surprised her husband, Prince Charles, by appearing on stage with Wayne Sleep of the Royal Ballet and doing a choreographed dance to “Uptown Girl” at a charity gala in honor of Charles’ 37th birthday.
