Check out this recent live performance of the Billy Joel classic "Just The Way You Are" sung by former J Records' recording artist Emily King. According to wikipedia, she is now a free agent and still performing! Emily came on the scene in 2007 with her East Side Story debut album. She wrote most of the material and also worked with legendary songwriter/producer Chucky Thompson on the album. However, it was released in the year of Alicia Keys. It wasn't going to work especially with the two of them on the same label. But it's good to see her still kickin' ass...

Also take a listen to two of my favorite tracks from Emily's debut album! "Colorblind" should have been the 1st single! :)

This one below is called "Never Be Lonely" and it's one of my favorite songs to come along in a long time! I have to OD here (lol) with the lyrics so you can understand how serious this song is...

Here I sit and wonder of a life that was
But some how that's gon away
This morning I woke to find my love had gone
For reasons he did not say
Funny how things are never what they seem
But oooooh can we go back to where we used to be?

Oh, if I could have yesterday
I'd make it so you never go away
And I would never be lonely
I'd give anything to hold you once again
I prayed that you could love me until the end
And I would never be lonely

Once we shared out world and anything I'd give
Simply to see you smile
This man was the center of my happiness
If only for a short while
Funny how things can change so easily
But oooooh can we go back to where we used be?

Oh, if I could have yesterday
I'd make it so you never go away
And I would never be lonely
I'd give anything to hold you once again
I prayed that you could love me until the end
And I would never be lonely

There was a time when I thought that love could never, never change
There was time when you'd hold me close
You'd take away my pain
Well how those days
What happen to forever?

Oh, if I could have yesterday
I'd make it so you never go away
And I would never be lonely
I'd give anything to hold you once again
I prayed that you could love me until the end
And I would never be lonely
