  In June 1987, during the peak of his career, Billy Joel performed "Uptown Girl" at the Kremlin in Moscow as part of the live album "A Matter of Trust - The Bridge to Russia." This performance came shortly after the release of his 1986 album "The Bridge," which featured the hit single "We Didn't Start the Fire." The Kremlin concert was notably significant, as it marked one of the first major rock concerts held in the Soviet Union, symbolizing a cultural exchange during the waning days of the Cold War. Joel's ability to connect with audiences across political divides showcased his appeal and the universality of his music. Additionally, the performance of "Uptown Girl," a chart-topping song indicative of Joel's signature upbeat style, further solidified his reputation as one of the leading pop artists of the era.
