It became both Joel's first US Top 10 and UK Top 20 single (reaching 3 and 19 respectively), as well as Joel's first gold single in the US. It was released in September 1977 as the album's lead single.
Despite their bumpy beginning, she especially makes that romantic connection with Peter. 'Just the Way You Are' is a song by Billy Joel from his fifth studio album The Stranger (1977). Key among those is an American skier named Steve Haslachez at the mountain for some races, a Parisienne named Nicole Schallon who is waiting for her married lover to show up, ski equipment executive François Rossignol who is a little more comfortable discussing his own physical disability, and freelance photographer Peter Nichols who is largely there to take photos of his current love interest Bobbie, also there for the races. The ruse works, she making some friends and having some lovers along the way. Before she goes, she is able to persuade a Parisian doctor to put her usually braced leg in a cast so that people will just assume that she is recuperating from a ski injury, instead of being permanently disabled. On her limited funds, she will ditch a couple of the tour dates and instead head to the French ski resort of Megève on a deal. In going on that European tour, Susan comes up with an idea to explore life without being judged solely by her disability. As such, many men seem to be attracted to her until they see the brace. Having contracted a case of viral encephalitis at age nine, Susan requires a brace to walk, and even then with a limp. She is considering accepting the marriage proposal of straight-laced investment banker Frank Bantam, it a marriage of convenience for both with Frank still in the closet, and Susan facing her own man problems.
