Como ocurriera (y ocurre) con numerosos artistas, #BillyJoel decidió homenajear a los ídolos de su adolescencia con un disco. El resultado sería #AnInnocentMan, publicado el 8 de agosto de 1983. Pero no estamos hablando de versiones de quienes lo supieron influir como hizo, por ejemplo, John Lennon en Rock and Roll; sino que se tratan de los géneros (básicamente doo wop y el sonido Motown tan popular en los primeros 60`) que sonaban durante su juventud y los interpreta con composiciones propias y referencias a quienes son honrados.
