Classici Italiani

The Way It Is è un brano composto e inciso da Bruce Hornsby, contenuto nell'album omonimo pubblicato nel 1986. Disco d'esordio per l'artista della Virginia, si rivela un immediato e grande successo commerciale a livello internazionale tanto da aggiudicarsi un Grammy Award nella categoria "Best New Artist"! La canzone, la tile track, è la principale artefice di tale risultato: un'intensa ballata pop-rock che fa riferimento al Poverty Act e al Civil Rights Act del 1964. Buon lavoro!
