Long Island Music & Entertainment Hall of Fame Inductee, Liberty DeVitto, played drums on every Billy Joel album from 1976-1993, including the albums Turnstiles, The Stranger, 52nd Street, Glass Houses, and An Innocent Man. He is also prominently featured in the documentary Billy Joel: A Matter of Trust - The Bridge to Russia.
DeVitto said, "Long Island was a huge part of our success. All of the guys hung out and had fun together. In fact, the one thing that we could always relate to was that we all grew up on Long Island."
Through the years, he has worked with a variety of artists including Karen Carpenter, Meatloaf, Carly Simon and Stevie Nicks.
For the last several years, he has been part of the popular rock group the Slim Kings.
In 2014, Liberty was inducted into the Long Island Music Hall of Fame along with fellow Billy Joel band members Russell Javors, Doug Stegmeyer and Richie Cannata.
After their induction, DeVitto, Javors and Cannata announced that they were reuniting and performing together as a group named the Lords of 52nd Street.
This interviewed aired previously on Tom Needham's The Sounds of Film.
