"All About Soul" is a song by American musician Billy Joel, released in October 1993 by Columbia Records as the third single from his 12th studio album, River of Dreams (1993). The single was produced by Danny Kortchmar and Joe Nicolo and features backing vocals by Color Me Badd. The song peaked at 29 in the United States and No. 32 in the United Kingdom, becoming his final top-40 single in either country. The compilation box set My Lives contains an unfinished demo version of "All About Soul" called "Motorcycle Song".
The song became the unofficial theme song of the New York Knicks during their run to the 1994 NBA Finals.[2]
The B-side was "You Picked a Real Bad Time", which did not appear on an album until the compilation box set My Lives was released in 2005.
