THE SONG:
She's Always a Woman is a song by Billy Joel from his 1977 album, The Stranger. The single peaked at No. 17 in the U.S. in Oct. 1978, and at No. 53 in the UK in 1986, when it was released as a double A-side with Just The Way You Are. Joel wrote the song for his then-wife, Elizabeth Weber. Weber, a businesswoman, became his manager and was partially responsible for his ensuing financial success. However, she also had a reputation as a cold and ruthless woman—characteristics necessary in the music industry, which was dominated by men. Joel has said that he was influenced by Gordon Lightfoot and his mellow acoustic guitar ballads. He stated in an interview that he was attempting to replicate the fingerpicking common in folk music. He accomplishes this by playing arpeggiated triads with the right hand. Joel and Weber divorced in 1982 after nine years of marriage. Joel eventually nixed the song from his repertoire, but not because the memories were too painful. It was because he realized he no longer felt the passion for his ex-wife that he had felt when composing the song. He later said he realized it was time to stop when he found himself fantasizing about his dinner while performing She’s Always a Woman live. Link to OfficialVideo
