The Bridge ist das zehnte Studioalbum des US-amerikanischen Musikers Billy Joel.

Inhaltsverzeichnis

Entstehung

Joel nahm die Arbeiten an dem Album im Jahr 1985 auf und beendigte diese bereits Anfang 1986. Auf dem Album sind verschiedene Gastmusiker zu hören, beispielsweise Jazz-Legende Ray Charles, der sein Klavierspiel und Gesang zuBaby Grandbeisteuerte, oder Steve Winwood, der die Hammond-Orgel inGetting Closerbediente. Das letzte Stück, das fürThe Bridgeaufgenommen wurde, warCode Of Silence“, ein Titel den Joel zusammen mit der Sängerin Cyndi Lauper verfasst hatte. Lauper ist im Song zudem als Backgroundsängerin zu hören.

Im Musikvideo zur HitsingleA Matter Of Trustentfernte sich Joel von seinem Image alsPiano Man“, da er im Clip eine handsignierte Gibson Les Paul spielte statt wie gewohnt am Klavier zu sitzen. Im SongBig Man on Mulberry Streetsetzt sich der Musiker zudem mit seiner Kindheit auf den Straßen der Orte, an denen er und seine Familie lebten, auseinander.

Veröffentlichung

ObwohlThe Bridgeeinen Platz in den Top 10 der US-amerikanischen Album-Charts erreichen konnte, konnte die Platte nicht an den Erfolg ihrer Vorgänger anknüpfen. Die Single-AuskopplungenA Matter of TrustundModern Womanbelegten jeweils den zehnten Platz der Billboard-Charts, zudem erschien die BalladeThis Is the Timeals Single und erreichte immerhin den 18. Platz der Single-Charts.
