Just The Way You Are by Billy Joel is a classic. It was his first top 10 hit and won the Grammy for Song of the Year. I was blessed to sing this song on Broadway every night for over three years and about a thousand performances. Here's a piano vocal cover :)

Can you guess this song in 3 chords? This actually isn't the intro - it happens later in the song! 🤔 #90s #90smusic #musicguessinggame #namethattune #michaelcavanaugh #piano ... See MoreSee Less

Faithfully by Journey, in my opinion, is one of the greatest rock ballads of all time. This song is so hard to sing. There is only one Steve Perry and he will always be one of my heroes. #journey #faithfully #StevePerry #faithfullycover #journeycover #pianocover #pianovocalcover #michaelcavanaugh ...
