Best Songs Ever
Easy Piano
$19.95
Simple. Buy this collection, you will never need another, since these are the Best Songs Ever. . .! (who names these things. . . ?)
Arrangements are lower end of easy piano. For the most part, single notes in the left hand, but some chords as well. Rhythms can be tricky, so get this collection only if you (or the person you are buying for) is familiar with a lot of the songs.
As with all collections on this page, lyrics (words) are included, as well as chord symbols above the staff.
| a string of pearls a time for us (love theme) a whole new world (aladdin's theme) all i ask of you always bewitched blue skies body and soul born free call me irresponsible can you feel the love tonight can't help falling in love chariots of fire climb ev'ry mountain crazy edelweiss fly me to the moon (in other words) from a distance georgia on my mind here's that rainy day how deep is the ocean (how high is the sky) i left my heart in san francisco i write the songs i'll be seeing you imagine isn't it romantic? it might as well be spring just the way you are killing me softly with his song let it be longer love me tender lullaby of the leaves memory mona lisa mood indigo |
moon river moonglow moonlight in vermont more (ti guardero' nel cuore) my favorite things my funny valentine on the street where you live people piano man satin doll save the best for last september song some day my prince will come spanish eyes speak softly, love (love theme) stardust stormy weather (keeps rainin' all the time) tears in heaven the lady is a tramp the rainbow connection the sound of music the way we were three coins in the fountain time in a bottle top of the world unchained melody unforgettable we've only just begun what a wonderful world what kind of fool am i? when i fall in love when you wish upon a star where do i begin (love theme) yesterday you are so beautiful you are the sunshine of my life you've got a friend |

Both the Billy Joel and Elton John easy piano collections are in many respects better (in terms of arrangements) than the more advanced collections, IMHO. Strange, but true.
| and so it goes baby grand honesty i go to extremes innocent man it's still rock and roll to me just the way you are keeping the faith leave a tender moment alone the longest time movin' out my life |
new york state of mind piano man shameless she's always a woman she's got a way tell her about it uptown girl we didn't start the fire you may be right |

Easy arrangements of some classic Broadway songs. If you read bass clef OK, you will have no problem as the texture is kept fairly thin. Great collection if you are just getting into being comfortable playing (and reading) both bass and treble clefs.
| all i ask of you all the things you are and all that jazz another op'nin', another show as long as he needs me being alive bewitched big spender broadway baby cabaret camelot climb ev'ry mountain comedy tonight don't cry for me argentina don't rain on my parade falling in love with love getting to know you hello, dolly! hello, young lovers how are things in glocca morra i believe in you i can hear the bells i could have danced all night i dreamed a dream i wanna be a producer i've grown accustomed to her face if ever i would leave you if i loved you if i were a rich man the impossible dream (the quest) just in time the lady is a tramp luck be a lady |
make believe mame memory the music of the night my funny valentine my heart stood still oklahoma ol' man river on a clear day (you can see forever) on my own on the street where you live one people people will say we're in love seasons of love september song she loves me smoke gets in your eyes some enchanted evening the sound of music sunrise, sunset there's no business like show business till there was you tomorrow try to remember unexpected song what i did for love what kind of fool am i? where is love? where or when who can i turn to (when nobody needs me) you'll never walk alone younger than springtime |

Very large collection, easy arrangements suitable to someone gaining fluency playing both hands together and reading all notes on the Grand Staff. An overall quality collection without too many technical difficulties.
| a good hearted woman a little good news always on my mind any day now any time behind closed doors busted could i have this dance crazy crying in the chapel d-i-v-o-r-c-e daddy don't you walk so fast daddy sang bass daddy's hands detroit city forever and ever, amen friends in low places from graceland to the promised land funny how time slips away god bless the u.s.a. grandpa (tell me 'bout the good old days) green green grass of home he stopped loving her today heartaches by the number hello walls help me make it through the night hey, won't you play another somebody done somebody wrong song honey (open that door) i fall to pieces i just fall in love again i loved 'em every one i was country when country wasn't cool i wish i was eighteen again i wouldn't have missed it for the world i.o.u. if we make it through december islands in the stream it was almost like a song jambalaya (on the bayou) king of the road |

This is the best Elton John easy piano collection in print. Very good arrangements, contains all lyrics as well as chord symbols above the staff. Clear on the page, even spacing.
Are there other EJ collections, with songs from some of his early classic albums? No. . . Elton John is surprisingly under-represented in print music, the same group of songs shuffled into similar collections. This is the most comprehensive collection in print, and I like it better than the piano/vocal (intermediate) collections, which are very uneven in format.
| bennie and the jets blue eyes burn down the mission candle in the wind crocodile rock daniel don't go breaking my heart don't let the sun go down on me empty garden goodbye yellow brick road honky cat i guess that's why they call it the blues i'm still standing island girl |

There are many Gershwin collections in print, this one is the best for easy piano. Some of the usual Gershwin songs have copyrights that go back to the 1930's, and most of these are terrible. Nice to see this collection!
| bess, you is my woman bidin' my time but not for me by strauss clap yo hands do do do embraceable you fascinating rhythm a foggy day for you, for me, forevermore how long has this been going on i got plenty of nuttin' i got rhythm i love to rhyme i've got a crush on you it ain't necessarily so let's call the whole thing off liza (all the clouds'll roll away) love is sweeping the country |

On the one hand, the arrangements are easy, in terms of technique. Fingerings are added a-plenty in most of the songs. On the other hand. . . the harmonies are accurate, so there are lots of sharps and flats.
Overall, a very good source for the listed songs, will give you some challenges in playing jazz-style chords, and bringing out the melody on those occasions where it goes from left hand to right hand. Also occasional crossing of the hands. Sounds good, fun, and great for increasing your ability in playing. Recommend!
| a night in tunisia all the things you are bewitched bluesette body and soul call me irresponsible can't help lovin' dat man come rain or come shine dancing on the ceiling easy to love (you'd be so easy to love) have you met miss jones? hello, young lovers how high the moon i didn't know what time it was i hear music i'll remember april isn't it romantic? it could happen to you |
just in time love is here to stay lover man (oh, where can you be?) mona lisa my funny valentine my heart stood still my old flame out of nowhere stella by starlight tangerine the blue room the nearness of you the song is you the very thought of you this can't be love when i fall in love you are too beautiful you don't know what love is you took advantage of me |

This particular collection is mentioned elsewhere on this web site. Even has it's own page. The reason?
For easy classical piano, this is the best, most comprehensive collection I have found. Great (repeat, GREAT!) sounding arrangements, excellent clarity and spacing. There are a zillion easy classical books in print, and frankly, most are the same old mediocre arrangements shuffled into yet another glossy covered collection. This one's different.
Highest recommendation for this very large, spiral-bound collection. I've played through the pieces, my students have played from this (even intermediate level adult students love it), and we all give this one a big Thumbs-Up.
One caveat. . . The arrangements are not too easy. Many of them will require a bit of work. But, it's worth it, as the end result is satisfying to both the player, and the listener.

Similar to the above sm-o-o-o-tch collection (heh-heh). Main difference is the contents (duh), but compare the contents of both before making a final decision. There is some overlap in contents (typical marketing tactic), and any song listed in one collection will be the exact same arrangement in the other. Get one or the other if you like, but unless I'm missing something. . . don't get both!
| (they long to be) close to you (you're my) soul and inspiration a love song always and i love her and i love you so anniversary song anytime you need a friend beautiful in my eyes can you feel the love tonight can't help falling in love can't smile without you could i have this dance don't know much endless love falling in love with love feelings (?dime?) for all we know forever and ever, amen have i told you lately how deep is your love i just fall in love again i love you i want you, i need you, i love you i.o.u. if we only have love if you remember me isn't it romantic? just the way you are long ago (and far away) longer lost in your eyes love is here to stay |

Also a very large collection of favorite movie songs. Every bit as good as the above listings, make your selection based on contents, as the playing level is the same, around mid-easy.
