James Taylor & Alison Krauss - The Boxer: Paul Simon Tribute 

I love James Taylor and Paul Simon with every fiber of my being, but Alison Kraus.. wow.. Every song she sings she makes it sound like it made just for her to sing in that angelic voice of hers. Hearing her voice literally brings tears of emotion and joy....

Alison Krauss is so low key and understated and her awesome singing and playing seem effortless. She's amazing.

Paul Simon's total absorption and appreciation of this performance is a delight to see.

“Man hears what wants to hear and disregards the rest.” So profound.

I have been admiring Krauss since she was about 16 - she's a national treasure as well and still perfect in very way, Taylor ain't so bad himself. What a duo.

If angels sing among us, Alison Krauss is certainly one. Her voice is unmatched.

Two of the greatest voices in the music industry singing one of the greatest songwriters song. ❤

One of my favorite sentences in the English language is, "Ladies and gentlemen, Alison Krauss." That instantly makes any song better.

I could listen to Alison Kraus all day. She has the voice of an angel

Alison is one of the finest voices in the business and a fantastic musician.this is a great version

What's not to love, two superb artists performing a brilliant song.

I would say there is no better compliment...the National treasure standing with his mouth agape in astonishment....shining like a National Guitar....

2020 And I’m still Listening On This Song , Anybody Here👍🏻❤️

If James Hetfield says she has a voice of an angel, you know there's no doubt then.

Being a legend in his own rights, JT honoring the Legendary PS. The sheer respect and this legendary tribute says it all.

The look on Pauls face,,'priceless'.

I am a rocker at heart but I saw James Taylor early on and then was blessed to see Simon and Garfunkel in their Central Park reunion concert. Two of the best shows I ever saw. ❤

I am about to have a 70th birthday and my teen years growing up in a "cold winter" Australian country town gives me many memories of early Simon & G songs. The Boxer, I am a rock etc. Thank you Paul.

My life long obsession with music started before I was even old enough to speak coherently back in 1974 with 2 albums I asked my Grandma to play non stop while I stared at the record sleeves lying on the floor in front of our big cabinet stereo. I was all of 5 yrs old. Simon & Garfunkel’s greatest hits was one of them. Kris Kristofferson Silver Tongue Devil was the other. Thank you, Grandma. May she Rest In Peace ❤️

I've been listening to James since I was a teenager, when Fire and Rain came out. I've only gotten to see a few shows and treasure each one! Thank you James, see you next time you're around Tulsa!!

It's rather strange seeing Paul hearing them sing his song for him. Must feel odd that they do it so well yet slightly differently. I've always loved the way James sings, it's somehow understated & yet lovely, this is, an excellent blend of voices.

Just look at Paul as he looks at them....no condescending bullshit, ..just pure appreciation and admiration....he is just the best so underrated as a songwriter

You can tell that these ordinarily humble geniuses are star-struck by each other's presence and nerves got the best of them. Oh if only we could relax and enjoy these great moments!

She has the voice of an angel..james is fabulous! ❤️

I was born in 1968. I figured out what a gem this song was about a year ago. What a beautiful tribute.

My two favourite artists on stage, singing and playing together! And a Paul Simon song at that! Does not get better than this!

"The Boxer" is a transcendental song. It is a song that will always crush my heart. As it should.

James Taylor and Alison Krauss are two of my favorite singers. Three, if I count Mr Paul Simon.

Alison and James are naturally matched as a duo. Their performance of this Paul Simon classic is simply BRILLIANT!!

I was waiting for her to play the violin!

I can't imagine how many people have memories linked to this song, how many strove to play it when they learned to play a guitar and how many tears and smiles this song must have pulled. Gives me goosebumps every time. God bless Paul Simon and the joy he has brought to so many.

Chris Smith mentioned the many memories attached to this song. Watching the hypnotized look on Paul Simon's face, I couldn't help wondering about the memory he was re-living as he watched this

Simply amazing how two inimitable voices can blend so well together.

James is so nervous at the beginning. But when Alison starts singing, as incredibly as she does, he totally relaxes and the magic follows.

You know that anything Alison does is going to be great. But this song....with James Taylor....what could ever be better than that?

Love Allison Krause. She is so talented. And James Taylor is great!

Amo,amo,amo James Taylor. Tive a alegria de assistir um show ao vivo dele 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏memorável, inesquecível

This was always one of my favorite S & G songs...so beautiful. And JT and Alison are perfect on this.

In her spare time, Alison gives singing lessons to angels. Beautiful lady, outstanding voice!

This song reminds me of when I lived in Rome so many years ago. Riding around on my Italian boyfriends moped singing this song at the top our voices - bitter sweet memories x

Allison has a beautiful voice, she is able to sing with such a range of different singers.

There remains that quality in JTs voice that can break your heart.

Alison raises the level of everything she touches!! An American Treasure!!??

I love how mesmerized Paul Simon looked as they sang this. And the Love on James Taylor's face for him was just so beautiful

Profound. Paul always hits you on about seven different levels.

Alison Krauss brings harmony and beauty to whatever she sings and whoever she sings with. She has an amazing voice and doesnt look half bad either 🙂

sweet baby james...and sweet baby alison.....just beautiful

Her voice is amazing and unmistakable, but so is James Taylor's! Love them both! That harmony!!! ,😍

I've always love Alison Krauss, she's got an amazing voice, she sings like an ANGEL 👼James has an amazing voice too, their voices sounds very good together, great job.🤗💖🤗💖👋👋👍👍😍

They both did a great, fabulous job. I love Paul even more for his gracious clapping and smiling.

I waited until Allison would play her violin. 😭😭😭

One of the top ten songwriters that ever lived.

To hear this song.. Brings back memories of my young life and all my experiences of my youth...

Alison Krauss is what happens when you take all the best things in the world and make a person out of them. Just a remarkable talent.

"All lies and jests, still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest." I reference this often when debating the state of the world. Just one example of the truth in plain sight.

Jesus, her voice gives the man’s voice a warm bath!!!!

Amazing. Two of my favorites singing another of my favorites.

From one national treasure to another, JT to PS. They have made the world better with their music.

Luv am both..wonderful tribute

I have always loved james...but Allison is a voice of an angel

I love Alison Krauss's harmonious voice. It gives a great feel to any song she harmonizes. Love you Alison....

Well done James Taylor! Didnt go for too much. Just got in the groove and nailed it. As Chris Smith said we all learned to play this song on guitar and have all sung it thousands of times in a thousand different ways. I like this version. And Paul Simon, you are a treasure to all humanity. Thank God you were born.

“The Boxer “ has always been one of my favorite songs .

Beautiful Tribute

Great performance. Allison is such a beautiful woman

I am immersed in pleasure while listening to their exquisite performance . From Tokyo in Japan

Profoundly looking at, the lovely new rendition brought Simon back to these young and beautiful days... smile

i am 53 and luv the sing - I also lived right off the NJ Turnpike at Grover Cleveland rest area and saw so many faces their that the song Homeward Bound - when they sing about the NJ Turnpike - gets me along with some of the bad storms and winters and Hurricane Sandy which devastated us - Paul is a native and we luv him

We think these icons will live forever, and in one way they will. Talent like this is treasured.

Touching and beautiful, my favorite song by those two amazing writers performers

One folk legend paying a wonderful tribute to another great legend of folk music. Alison Krauss has a lovely voice too, so hearing them sing this wonderful song together is a delight. Thanks to Paul Simon of course for writing such an amazingly beautiful song.

Absolutely lovely. Alison's enchanting tones and James demonstrating yet again how terrific he is performing duets.👏👍👏

beautiful. thank +. superb rendition ! the air in my head is swirling

Beautiful Harmony on the "Boxer".

Paul Simon-The poet Laureate for over 60 yrs. James Taylor and Allison both Beautiful voices to share his magic.

Nice little gem I found, thank you for the post

Gawd! 2 of my favorites of all time!!!! Isn't this great!

two of my all time favorites... they are the best

Alison came to my small hometown and I did not go see her! Still kicking my self in the.......

Allison Krauss, living Legend, purest voice that ever came out of a human.

Paul Simon could not help but to bow his head in appreciation for such a beautiful tribute

Fantastic cover! Thank you for sharing and God bless everyone from Pat

How wonderful ! This must have been amazing live.

Love this guy. Have seen him in concert three times! A treasure and unparalleled songwriter.

Love Alison Krauss. Her beautiful voice reminds me of the open fields of Oklahoma...singing with the great James Taylor, who could ask for anything more???

Beautiful. What a great edit of an epic composition. They sounded lovely together. And I loved how the drum brought the original production to mind. 👏🏾👏🏾

What soaring pure voice Alison Krauss has!

What a performance. I loves the parts where they showed Paul Simon paying rapt attention. I think it's safe to say he was overwhelmed with the harmonies, maybe as much as I am. That said, Paul REALLY does a great job of bringing the guitar to the forefront of the music, while James demurred. I think the only thing that could improve this version is if Paul had played guitar, and done that, but refrained from singing himself. I've always adored this song. The lyrics are just so evocative, and then there's Paul Simon's unparalleled guitar work, which is just stunning. This song still sends shivers down my spine; periodically, I just have to hear it again, one more time.

If there are any two voices as perfect as Simon's and Garfunkel's, it has to be Krauss' and Taylor's! What a beautiful blend!

Fantastic interpretation , compliment!

Both iconic artists in their own right what an amazing collaboration

i was privileged years ago, to be invited to see Alison Krauss and Gillian Welch at the ShowBox in Seattle, it is a small venue and everyone there had front row seats.. I didn't know either of these amazing performers, and by the end of the night, i was in love.. There were cloggers just feet from us, it made us feel we were a part of the music. An amazing night i will never forget.

I like the way she compliments his voice! Beautiful.

I've loved JT since I was 10yrs old n he never let me down .I will always love u JT💖

This performance brought tears to my eyes. Wow Thank you.

It's , CUT HIM till he cried out. Paul Simon emphasised this lyric and many more moments in his lyrics. That is why his songs have meaning. James Taylor , really his one of my all time heroes , but stick to your own, so meaningful songs, mate.

Ah ! Je n'ose même pas pouvoir imaginer l'émotion de Paul Simon. J'adore.

That blend of voices! Wonderful! A great version of an amazing song. A terrific tribute to Paul Simon.

Three of my favorites, Simon, Taylor, & Krauss!

So much talent. So much humility. Amazing
