Attila
Attila was an American rock duo from New York City, most notable for having featured a young Billy Joel.
Billy Joel and Jon Small broke away from their band the Hassles and formed Attila in 1969. The instrumentation was organ and drums, with Joel also handling the bass lines with a keyboard, similar to the Doors' Ray Manzarek. Their creative partnership ended in 1970 when Joel ran off with Small's wife, Elizabeth, whom he later married,[4] although this did not end their collaborations, as Small produced Joel's 1982 "Live From Long Island" video in addition the 1990 "Live at Yankee Stadium" Video and the 2011 Live at Shea Stadium performance. Small became a music video director for artists such as Run DMC, Garth Brooks, Reba McEntire and Travis Tritt.
