William Martin "Billy" Joel (born May 9, 1949) is an American pianist, singer-songwriter, and composer. Since releasing his first hit song, "Piano Man", in 1973, Joel has become the sixth-best-selling recording artist and the third-best-selling solo artist in the United States. His compilation album Greatest Hits Vol. 1 & 2 is one of the best-selling albums in the US.
Joel had Top 40 hits in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, achieving 33 Top 40 hits in the US, all of which he wrote himself. He is also a six-time Grammy Award winner who has been nominated for 23 Grammy Awards. He has sold more than 150 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling artists of all time.
Joel was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame (1992), the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (1999), and the Long Island Music Hall of Fame (2006). In 2001, Joel received the Johnny Mercer Award from the Songwriters Hall of Fame. In 2013, Joel received the Kennedy Center Honors, the nation's highest honor for influencing American culture through the arts. With the exception of the 2007 songs "All My Life" and "Christmas in Fallujah", Joel stopped writing and releasing pop/rock material after 1993's River of Dreams. However, he continues to tour, and he plays songs from all eras of his solo career in his concerts.
An Innocent Man is the ninth studio album by American singer-songwriter Billy Joel, released on August 8, 1983. The concept album is a tribute to the American popular music of Joel's teenage years with Joel paying homage to a number of different popular American musical styles from the late 1950s and early 1960s, most notably doo-wop and soul music (see each track listed below for specific homages). The album cover artwork was taken on the front steps of 142 Mercer Street, just north of the intersection of Mercer and Prince Street in the SoHo neighborhood in New York City.
The album featured three Billboard Top 10 hit singles: "Tell Her About It", which reached #1, "Uptown Girl", which peaked at #3 and "An Innocent Man", which peaked at #10. Four other singles were released from the album: "The Longest Time" (number 14), "Leave a Tender Moment Alone" (number 27), "Keeping the Faith" (number 18) and "This Night" (US B-Side of "Leave a Tender Moment Alone"). "Tell Her About It" and "Uptown Girl" garnered international success—"Uptown Girl" reached #1 in the UK, Australia and New Zealand. An Innocent Man remained on the U.S. Pop album chart for 111 weeks, becoming Joel's longest charting studio album behind The Stranger. For over a year, the album remained on the charts in the UK, Japan, and Australia.
"An Innocent Man" is a 1983 song performed by Billy Joel and the third single from his album An Innocent Man.
The song, whose musical style is an homage to Ben E. King and The Drifters, reached #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, the third consecutive top 10 single from the album. It also spent one week at #1 on the Billboard adult contemporary chart.
Joel was quoted in a 1997 interview describing the high notes he sang during the song: "I had a suspicion that was going to be the last time I was going to be able to hit those notes, so why not go out in a blaze of glory? That was the end of Billy's high note."
No music video was made for this song.
An Innocent Man, is a 1989 crime thriller film directed by Peter Yates, and starring Tom Selleck. The film follows James Rainwood, an airline mechanic sent to prison when framed by crooked police officers.
James "Jimmie" Rainwood (Tom Selleck) is an ordinary and model citizen: happily married to his beautiful wife Kate (Laila Robins), has a modest home in Long Beach, California, works as an American Airlines engineer, drives a classic Pontiac Trans Am and pays his bills.
Detectives Mike Parnell (David Rasche) and Danny Scalise (Richard Young) are cops specializing in drug busts but corrupt by framing people and retaining parts of what should be declared evidence so that they can use it for their own recreational drug use and selling to dealers.
One day Parnell takes a large hit of cocaine and becomes unable to concentrate properly about the address for the next drug bust expecting to find drugs. But instead they break into the wrong house as Jimmie walks out of the bathroom with a handheld hair dryer in hand, Parnell shoots thinking it's a weapon. Rainwood becomes unconscious from being shot in the shoulder. Realising that they could both be tested for taking drugs and charged they decide to cover up their mistake so they plant drugs in the house and place a firearm in the hand of Rainwood's unconscious body and they frame him as a drug dealer. Things look bad, Jimmie is pegged as a user having a prior record of marijuana possession while in college and his only defense is his word against two decorated cops. He claims the two cops framed him but no evidence proves the men are corrupt. He gets a 6-year prison sentence. Internal Affairs detective, John Fitzgerald (Badja Djola) takes a mild personal interest in the situation although he can not do anything since everything is hearsay.

Innocent Man is the third album released by British R&B musician Mark Morrison, and released in the UK as a limited edition DVD release. It is the second full-length album release, and follow up to "Return of the Mack" in 1996. In 1997 Mark Morrison released an EP entitled Only God Can Judge Me on Warner Bros.
Overall the album was received very well by critics, but it failed to chart. It was also noted favourably by critics that Mark had improved on his singing-abilities and also managed to create a solid album, despite the many setbacks and problems he had undergone between the release of the album.
"Innocent Man (Misunderstood)" is a song by American hip hop recording artist Cassidy. It was officially released on December 22, 2007 and serves as the second single from his third studio album, B.A.R.S. The Barry Adrian Reese Story (2007). The song, which was produced by Cassidy's longtime mentor and frequent collaborator Swizz Beatz, features vocals from English R&B singer Mark Morrison, sampling his song "Innocent Man".
In an interview with FMQB Radio, Cassidy gave insight on the song:

Some people stay far away from the doorIf there's a chance of it opening up
They hear a voice in the hall outsideAnd hope that it just passes by
Some people live with the fear of a touchAnd the anger of having been a fool
They will not listen to anyoneSo nobody tells them a lie
I know you're only protecting yourselfI know you're thinking of somebody else
Someone who hurt youBut I'm not aboveMaking up for the love
You've been denying you could ever feelI'm not above doing anything
To restore your faith if I canSome people see through the eyes of the old
Before they ever get a look at the youngI'm only willing to hear you cry
Because I am an innocent manI am an innocent manOh yes I am
Some people say they will never believeAnother promise they hear in the dark
Because they only remember too wellThey heard somebody tell them before
Some people sleep all alone every nightInstead of taking a lover to bed
Some people find that it's easier to hateThan to wait anymore
I know you don't want to hear what I sayI know you're gonna keep turning away
But I've been there and if I can surviveI can keep you alive
I'm not above going through it againI've not above being cool for a while
If you're cruel to me I'll understandSome people run from a possible fight
Some people figure they can never winAnd although this is a fight I can lose
The accused is an innocent manI am an innocent manOh yes I amAn innocent man
You know you only hurt yourself out of spite
I guess you'd rather be a martyr tonightThat's your decisionBut I'm not below
Anybody I knowIf there's a chance of resurrecting a love
I'm not above going back to the startTo find out where the heartache began
Some people hope for a miracle cureSome people just accept the world as it is
But I'm not willing to lay down and dieBecause I am an innocent man
