Here's a popular one with the kids:

Sorry, not sure how to do the imbedding thing.

Other notable mentions with some amount of piano playing:

Carole King - "Now It's Too Late Baby" (piano playing interspersed throughout song)

Aretha Franklin - Her version of "Say a Little Prayer" where you can hear her playing the piano in the song's intro. Also "Never Loved A Man" she gets into her piano playing.

Roberta Flack - "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" and her version of "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow." She accompanies herself throughout these songs.

Lionel Richie - Songs like "Three times a Lady", "Easy Like Sunday Morning" come to mind. I think you can hear him playing the piano a lot in the ballad songs he did while he was still with the Commodores and when he went solo.

Marvin Gaye - On his "What's going on" album you can hear him playing throughout the album. Also in the song "Trouble Man" you can hear him playing the piano throughout the song.

Oooh, I forgot about Carole King! Which is silly because I have the score book that goes with the album Tapestry, the arrangements are great, piano w/ vocals. I love the bass notes in the music, and her voice in the melody. I should play one of those, maybe this summer. I noticed that SheetMusic Plus sells the Regina Spektor songbook, and it includes the Genius Next Door. I would like to look at the arrangement though, which SMP doesn't make possible yet.

Yessss... I actually am learning the song " The Call" I really dig Bruce Hornsby , CC asnd Marc Cohn - "Walking in Memphis". WHICH I PLAN TO LEARN NEXT

Great song! One of my all-time favorites.

a great list of people

add Ben Folds

the printed sheet music is great.

For those of you who have played some of these pieces, I'd love to know which sheet music version you used. I have been wanting to play Bruce Hornsby's The Way It Is, but I can't quite decide if the downloadable version sounds good enough to try. Any other ideas on the pieces mentioned in this thread would be appreciated!

My first post - hello everyone! I've just started playing piano and really only know pop music so have been trying to learn some easy pieces to start with - predominantly slowish songs that just have one riff repeated throughout - but not exclusively. These are the three I'm currently working on - they're pretty naff but I like them.

and here are some I would like to get onto at some point.
