"Baby Grand" is the third single released off Billy Joel's album The Bridge. A duet with Joel and Ray Charles, the song is a ballad to an instrument, the baby grand piano, and its beloved relationship it can possess with its players. Comparisons are made throughout the song to 'one-night stands', women, relationships, personal toil, fame, money, and love. The single peaked at #75 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and at #3 on the Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks chart.
