William Rory Gallagher (2 March 1948 – 14 June 1995) was an Irish blues and rock multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and producer. Born in Ballyshannon, County Donegal, and brought up in Cork, Gallagher recorded solo albums throughout the 1970s and 1980s, after forming the band Taste during the late 1960s. His albums have sold over 30 million copies worldwide.
Gallagher received a liver transplant in 1995, but died of complications later that year in London at the age of 47.

Despite writing and producing 33 top 40 songs and being the third best-selling solo artist in the U.S., Billy Joel never lost touch with who he was. I believe the secret to all this success is the fact that Billy Joel is someone we ALL can relate to, regardless of age.
