I don't think enough folks appreciate how groundbreaking his music was. He was always outside the norm, leading the way. In my opinion, he is genius on the level of any member of the Beatles. His album "Graceland" was brilliant in its innovation and artistry.

Yes! Graceland is a perfect album, beginning to end. Remember it very well from when it came out, still have it on vinyl, is a great memory of listening to it with my dad so many times.

I long ago reached the conclusion that Paul Simon is one of the few artists who can write a song using ANY genre of music... as he has clearly demonstrated throughout his career. This Latin beat is merely one instance.

@erickvermeulen9734 6 месяцев назад

If you are into classical music, Paul Simon's American Tune is a must. It is based on a song in the Matthew Passion by Johann Sebastian Bach, who was inspired by the earlier composer Hans Leo Hassler von Roseneck (early seventeenth century).

This song came from the 1980 movie "One Trick Pony" which starred Paul Simon as a washed-up folk singer named Jonah Levin. It bombed at the box office, but did feature music from The Lovin' Spoonful and The B-52s. "One Trick Pony" is worth your reaction on the movie channel.

@inexplicablyleft2729 6 месяцев назад

Simon & Garfunkel was a folk duo from the 60s. By the time they split up, folk was near-death. Paul didn't give up on folk, or music from around the world, but he figured out a new sound for the current rock era. Just another aspect of his genius.

@otisdylan9532 6 месяцев назад

Simon with Garfunkel and solo Simon are both worthwhile. I guess I'd take the former if I had to choose, but I'm glad we have both. For your next Paul Simon song, I'd do one of his first 2 solo singles: "Mother and Child Reunion" or "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard". Both fine songs, and the latter has a fun video with Mickey Mantle and John Madden in it.

@meh8982 Месяц назад

This is from Paul Simon's movie (and album) "One Trick Pony." (Which is a much underrated song.) He plays the songwriter and leader of the band playing with him in this video, so the song is pretty relevant to the story of the movie. Personally I love the movie and the whole album, which is about the life of a musician - not a great or successful musician necessarily, but someone who quietly but stubbornly struggles to keep living that life.

@patdonnelly9392 6 месяцев назад

Masterful drumming by Steve Gadd who has played for MANY artists (e.g. Steely Dan) in all genres of music and has been with Paul Simon since his early years

@carolinedemarco5466 Месяц назад

From wikipedia: Drummer Steve Gadd. Gadd devised the distinctive drum part by using two pairs of drumsticks - one in each hand - in order to give the impression of two drummers playing together, as he has demonstrated in drum clinics. Gadd plays a New York City style Cuban Mozambique drum groove. Simon was inspired, the result was GENIUS.

A fair amount of the musicians in this video were the band Paul brought to Central Park a couple years later for he and Art Garfunkel's famous reunion concert there (estimates say 500,000 or so were there to see it). I had forgotten that Tony Levin was the bassist on this...best known for being in the 1980's version of King Crimson and most of their lineups since,until Robert Fripp pulled the curtain down a little over a year ago. He's also been Peter Gabriel's bassist forever.

After becoming a solo artist, Simon really moved into blending folk, rock and world music. On the album Graceland he worked with an incredible group of musicians from South Africa.
