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....

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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!!

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

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. ❤

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!

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.

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!

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

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

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

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 ❤️

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

I can definitely see James Taylor covering many Simon and Garfunkel tunes.

Beautiful Tribute

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

I was waiting for her to play the violin!

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

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

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

"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.

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

Luv am both..wonderful tribute

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.

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

These Kennedy Center Honors show are the best entertainment of the year.

James Taylor was an icon before she was even thought of.I love her voice

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

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

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

-Paul Simon, James Taylor, and Alison Krauss ✨✨✨

The look on Pauls face,,'priceless'.

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

How absolutely special always .

I was excited to hear this, I mean after all James Taylor and Alison krauss? How could it be bad well it is. Really disappointed this has been done so much better by so many more people

One of the top ten songwriters that ever lived.

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

They are both a very humble man and great song writer composer....We LOVE YOU thank you to the great & beautiful songs

beautiful...but i was waiting for her to play that violin..anyway looking at Paul Simon...so emotional

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

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

Having listened to this I am left with the distinct impression of how this was so written with ART in mind for his voice and all that he leant to it. As much as I love all these folks that are on the video it just seemed like a sad moment.

Tears from an old man’s grateful soul.

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

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!

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

my first album, I shoveled alot of snow to buy, Bridge over Troubled water. I passionately and deliciously tasted every word on the album in my heart as it pored from my lips, singing along as my mind and youth danced. .

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

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.🤗💖🤗💖👋👋👍👍😍

James Taylor is a genius….but Allison Krauss makes all duets perfect. A terrific combo

It seems like Alison is the favourite of so many greats in the business to accompany/back up.

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

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

Paul Simon seems mesmerized.

Love James Taylor and Paul Simon

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 🙂

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

Hey Paul,pleeeze don't pine over yr lack of height no more. Don't you know yr a giant in the world's mind truly! A legend who gave the most wonderful gift for us & yr music will live on. Amen x

One of the best songs ever written in my opinion.

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

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.

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

FANTASTIC.

Two of my favorites, singing one of my favorites.

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???

I love how in the first verse James is singing the main melody and Allison is harmonizing, and in the second verse they switch roles. Just amazing.

Oh, what America used to be, I weep for the good people that there still dwell.

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

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

What a combination!! Angels!!❤️

She’s in the best 3 female singer ever ....

Alison Krauss is a bluegrass musician with James taylor together they sound divine please do more match made in heaven

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

WOW! awesome the way they toss the melody and harmony between them. Paul Simon looked a little stunned!
