Just when you think the new "Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon" can't get any better, Billy Joel comes on as a musical guest. Take it a step further, and you've got Fallon and Joel performing a duet together, making for the best 4 minutes of TV that I've seen in I don't even know how long.
Last night on "Tonight Show," Fallon got Joel in his chair and then confessed to the legendary singer and songwriter, "You're one of my all time favorites, and even just to talk to you, I get a little nervous." Fallon then added, "But to sing with you is the craziest." And then, using an iPad app that loops vocals together, the two created pure magic on stage with their mostly a cappella performance of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight".
Of course, Fallon manages to hold his own next to the living legend (Really though, what can't he do??) and Joel performs flawlessly as we would all expect. The YouTube video has since gone viral and if you still haven't seen it, I suggest you watch it immediately. You seriously have not lived until you've seen this duet (I'm not exaggerating). It is more than words can even begin to describe. This kind of talent is rare, watch it twice.
This is a great post! Short, sweet and to the point. Goes with the theme of your blog very well. I love that you included the video. Awesome job!
