One of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard in my life:)

Great Kurt Elling! And a great pianist ! Wonderful!

A fantastic interpretation of a truly magnificent song, of one of my absolute favorites of Paul Simon. That voice and that piano!

very plain, very true, just direct to the heart. No artifices, the way it should be. Beautiful. Kurt Elling's version is exceptional.

Thank you, Kurt and Lawrence.

Fantastisch!

There is no better accompanist than Lawrence Hobgood. Brilliant piano player.

AMAZEING PIPES !~!!!!

Wow..LOVE his voice. I lovethis song and Kurt's interpretation. I'm a big fan. (how nice, this was posted on my birthday lol) Love the guy who's playing piano also!!!

Today that song has much more resonance than in 2012.

Elling's version of that tune is divine. Most likely, Bach would agree with the way a hymn he has often used in his work is invoked in Paul Simon's composition. Kurt does bring this wonderfully well. And the piano yes is superb indeed.

Wow, What an amazing voice! Great arrangement as well.

Kurt Elling’s ability to deliver an amazing story via his voice & inflections is stellar….resulting in my intense respect for his presentation of this composition…An “American Tune.” BRAVO KURT…ANOTHER INCREDIBLE MUSICIAN & STRONGLY INFLUENCED BY CHICAGO’S JAZZ MASTERS. DOOMO ARIGATO GOZIAMATSU ‼️‼️

a fine and moving treatment of Simon's classic.

Love

great! always!

A god amongst men

Laurence Hobgood, Kurt's longtime pianist, is the player here. Elling and Hobgood split in 2013.
