Overview:

The Bridge is the tenth studio album by American singer-songwriter Billy Joel, released on July 29, 1986. It marked the final Billy Joel album produced by Phil Ramone. The Bridge yielded several successful singles, including "A Matter of Trust" , "Modern Woman" and "This Is the Time".

Joel began work on the album—on which two of his major influences (Ray Charles and Steve Winwood) made guest appearances—in 1985. Charles sang a duet with Joel on the song "Baby Grand," and Winwood played Hammond organ on the song "Getting Closer". Other notable musicians who made guest appearances on the album include jazz musicians Ron Carter and Michael Brecker, who both played on the jazzy track "Big Man on Mulberry Street."
