Paul Simon is the short dark headed man who is one of the greatest songwriters of the 60's and 70's. Art Garfunkel is the tall blond and was considered the greatest tenor of that era. They are Jewish men who went to school together and began singing together while they were in high school. When my uncle returned home from Vietnam, he bought me an album of theirs and I and a friend would lay out in the sun and play that album an entire hot Alabama summer. They are considered folk music. I am nearing 68 and they are in they are in their 80's

@Deej496 Год назад

Great story. Thanks for that.

@dagmar.6954 Год назад

I grew up listening to Simon & Garfunkel & had a lot of their records. Absolutely loved them & their harmonies. You won't find a bad song. They have had so many hits such as "Bridge Over Troubled Water", "Sound Of Silence", "Mrs. Robinson", "Scarborough Fair", "At The Zoo", "Cecilia", "America", "I Am A Rock", "El Condor Pasa" etc. Paul Simon went on to have a huge solo career with lots of great songs.

@kestrelle5345 Год назад

Good choices, all.

@Blue-qr7qe Год назад

The Everly Brothers get credit as a huge influence. I can hear them in S&G's hrmonies a lot.

@TheMrsWatcher Год назад

"Me and Julio" is one of my little family's favorite Paul Simon songs

@jelly_ellipsis 11 месяцев назад

Even though I’m a millennial I grew up on them too cause my parents are old hippies. Lol. Paul Simon is such a poetic powerhouse. He’s always been one of my favorite song writers ever. I have “but the fighter still remains” tattooed. That whole verse is so deep and has only become more meaningful as I’ve gotten older. I think that verse and the one in America that goes “Kathy, I’m lost, I said, though I knew she was sleeping, I’m empty and aching and I don’t know why.” tie for my favorite verses he’s written overall.

@quintondees4501 Год назад

They were great together. Most of their music was very thought provoking and deep

@jennyrivers44 Год назад

Beautiful harmonies

@paulsample8565 Год назад

More from Simon and Garfunkel: Sounds of Silence, Bridge Over Troubled Water, Mrs. Robinson, Kathy’s Song, America, Homeward Bound, Scarborough Fair, For Emily Wherever I May Find Her…

@lcassamas Год назад

The instrumental break in the middle was a pedal steel guitar doubled with a piccolo trumpet. They were recorded at different times in different locations, but synced together perfectly. The pedal steel guitar was recorded in the studio. The piccolo trumpet was recorded in a chapel on the campus of Columbia University.

@marenehanson5526 Год назад

Is there also a bass harmonica?

@jeffcoat1959 Год назад

@@marenehanson5526 yes

@thompur Год назад

The low growly sound is a bass harmonica, and the high sound during the instrumental is a piccolo trumpet.

@rainbowkeys711 Год назад

And the high string sound at the end is a mellotron, very often used in The Moody Blues music...

@susanpeterson9947 Год назад

Paul Simon actually wrote The Sound of Silence, which everyone seems to be covering now. They came along near the end of the Folk Song era and are still favorites of many of us silver-haired folks lol. Thanks for reacting to this one, it’s always been a favorite of mine.

@johnckelly88 Год назад

Love when that Tuba comes in at the end.

@hockemeyer1 Год назад

The shorter guy is Paul Simon, the other is Art Garfunkel. Paul Simon is one of the most prolific poets of the 60s, 70s and 80s.

@falcon215 Год назад

Both Simon and Garfunkel are native to New York. On the first Saturday Night Live show after the attacks of 9/11 Paul Simon performed this song with about a dozen members of the New York Police and Fire Departments standing behind him, in uniforms still dirty from that day. It was probably the most powerful and poignant thing I've ever watched on television. There's a youtube vid of it worth checking out.

@jaqathome Год назад

Their music sure stood the test of time.

The Beatles and Simon and Garfunkel....the soundtrack of my teen years.....

@rowaineboyd1536 Год назад

This genre is typically called Folk, though that covers a lot of music types. This is by far my favorite Simon & Garfunkel. The instrument is a flute (also popular in many folk songs), but also the entire orchestra behind them. Both played multiple instruments, tho I believe they usually played guitars in performances. The guys harmonized so well together! Pity they had a falling out, but at least their music lives on. Glad to see you enjoying yourself so much!

@HGWTPaladin 8 месяцев назад

The booming sound was achieved by playing a drum set by an opened door elevator shaft.

@ljwilson55 8 месяцев назад

Actually, it is a piccolo trumpet.

@HGWTPaladin 8 месяцев назад

@@ljwilson55 yes. But the crashing sound is from a drum.

@rowaineboyd1536 8 месяцев назад

Huh, I've seen him play both, but thought this version was his bass flute. Thanks for clarification.

This is the original group for Sound of Silence. Bridge Over Troubled Water, I Am A Rock....so many great songs!!

@cpm7444 Год назад

I am really surprised that you havent heard any songs of Simon and Garfunfkel. I love their songs beautiful harmonies, lyrics . The present generation is missing a lot of beautiful music. I am happythat you are discovering them. How about discovering Jim Croce ?

@johnnienetherland8235 Год назад

That was a full orchestra in the background there. Sounded like tubas or trombones.

Somehow, their music never gets old.

@vickiroman189 Год назад

The entire album is fire.

@alainemancini3366 Год назад

My absolute favourite from this inimitable duo. What makes this track so much more special, is that Paul Simon appeared on Saturday Night Live a day or so after 9/11 and performed The Boxer, dedicating it to the people of New York City............Such a beautifully emotive masterpiece.

@minimasuo Год назад

I LOVE this song. What a wonderful blast from the past. Simon and Garfunkle was a folk music duo that were so much more than just folk singers! Check out Paul Simon's "Stranded in a Limousine", "Me and Julio", and "Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes".

@janetkizer5956 5 месяцев назад

I have never forgotten the first time I heard 'The Sound of Silence'. That song is a real experience. The Boxer, and Bridge Over Troubled Water, too. Just such amazing songs. Not the sort of songs you listen to and then forget.

@cathybrookeburt2616 Год назад

These guys have a lot of hits together & as solo artists as well. Paul Simon is the little one & Art Garfunkel is the tall one with curly hair. I have a challenge for you. Watch their original song 'Sound of silence', then watch Pentatonix perform it & then watch Disturbs version. It is a great song & they all sound totally different while all being awesome. Disturb's version is the biggest difference from the others. All really cool & I would love to hear your take on the three.

@meganstorm3248 Год назад

I made the same request, but I forgot about the Pentatonix rendition! Seconding that, too

@ahv51 Год назад

Peter Hollens and Tim Foust did a version as well.

@fgoogle5576 Год назад

Love SAG... Paul Simon's solo album GRACELAND is one of the best ever... combining his skill with a lot of African musicians.

@rhymereason3449 Год назад

Kudos for exploring other music. But it's sort of sad how so many of the newer generations have no idea about music with deep lyrics, instruments other than guitar and drums, harmony, etc.

@kennbicknell5492 Год назад

*Definitely do their biggest hit, "BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER," next*

@stlmopoet Год назад

The low grumbly buzzing sound is something called a bass harmonica.

@paulacook9450 Год назад

Listen to Bridge Over Troubled Waters, considered by many to be the most beautiful song ever done.

@jeanine6328 Год назад

These guys are an institution. They made absolutely phenomenal songs together. Paul Simon, the dark haired one, went on to have a very successful solo career. Please react to Paul Simons, original video, You Can Call Me Al. Keep in mind, Paul is the short dark haired one. He’s the singer.

@carrienoyes2785 Год назад

So happy to hear you listening to Simon & Garfunkel. A lot of amazing songs that deserve to be heard. ❤

Hey AB❣️don't forget that they did the original "sounds of silence", that you did of 'Disturbed' 😁

@ghogsten Год назад

Thank you for listening to the words. These songs matter on what they say. Story telling is almost a lost art now.

@claranielsen3382 Год назад

Simon and Garfunkel definitely 60s folk music. They were great. Disturbed did a cover to their original Sound of Silence. Worth checking out both versions very different.

@Marrero79 Год назад

“Bridge Over Troubled Water”, “I Am A Rock”, and “The Sound of Silence” - studio versions please. 💜💕💜💕💜💕

@fancystitch6478 Год назад

Bridge over troubled water. Studio version. You will love it!!!

@jellyrollnorton 7 месяцев назад

Hard to believe this song is 54 years old. Their Live in Central Park is prob their best live performance to check out. Their masterpieces are: this song, "The Sounds of Silence," and "Bridge Over Troubled Water." In my humble opinion, there’s no such thing as a bad Simon & Garfunkel song.

@debbiel.1655 Год назад

I loved your reaction to this. It is a beautiful song

@meganstorm3248 Год назад

OMG, I needed this video so much right now, and I knew it was coming as soon as you said "new artist." You have to do "The Sound Of Silence" (+ the Disturbed cover version), and Cecelia, then but then I'm gonna try to lure you over to Paul Simon's solo career. Graceland is one of the greatest albums of all time.

@donnaholm Год назад

Their harmonies were magical, and Paul’s lyrics are epic. For fun, check out Cecilia!

@sherigrow6480 Год назад

This is rock, just not rock and roll. The genius of Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel. They used lots of different techniques and instruments to get these sounds. Every thing they recorded was great. I painted lyrics of their songs on my walls when I was a teenager.

@swoesteban5570 Год назад

I was just wondering if I should mention it, so Star Wars it is. Paul was once married to Princess Leia. Carrie Fisher and Paul Simon were husband and wife 1983-1984. If you like good movies and good music, watch "The Graduate". It not only won Academy Awards, it has Simon & Garfunkel front to back. One of their most iconic "Mrs. Robinson" written exclusively for The Graduate.

@rhymereason3449 Год назад

Amazing piece of trivia! Had to double-check it it's so interesting... thanks for sharing that.

The booming sounds are the reverberations of the glove hitting the boxer's head. That's a kettle drum, I believe. The low drone sound at the end comes from cellos, again I think.

When I opened the page and saw what you would react to, I was so excited; so many of my younger days have these songs running through them. Disturbed recentish song *Sound of Silence* is one of Simon and Garfunkel's repertoire. Listen to every one of their songs; off the top of my head, I can offer *I Am A Rock* *Bookends* *Scarborough Fair*, and listen to their Concert in Central Park for live performances. You might want to listen to some James Taylor, Carol King, and Carly Simon, different flavors from the same time, all singer/songwriters.

They wrote "Sounds of Silence". Their version is mellow like this. You have already heard Pentatonix's version, which is more intense (for lack of a better word). If you are into comparing videos, you could look at those two and Disturbed's version which is angry. Very different takes on the same song.
