@@crafty1096 They never got along about who got credit for what. Simon wrote pretty much everything & Garfunkel directed the layout of the songs. Garfunkel never wrote anything for the two of them. He suggested the 3rd stanza for "Bridge Over Troubled Water", & Simon hated it; he wanted it to be 'a little hymn'. "Sail on silver girl Sail on by Your time has come to shine All your dreams are on their way See how they shine Oh, if you need a friend I'm sailing right behind" Simon also said he should have sang lead in "Sound Of Silence" although his voice wasn't as high as Garfunkel's. If you notice, in this performance, Simon finished the high part at the end... where Garfunkel's voice would have soared. Garfunkel could no longer reach the high notes because of his throat surgery. That's the reason for the key changes & variations in this performance.

Have you tried putting a fair use copyright disclaimer either in the video description with the links or before your title card? that might help with keeping the videos up.

Fun fact: ln the early 60's Columbia Records had formed a new folk band called The Pilgrims in response to Warner Records very popular hit folk trio Peter Paul & Mary. A then little known songwriter came to the studio with a song the producer hoped would be the debut single for The Pilgrims. The producer liked the song and asked the songwriter to record a demo to give to The Pilgrims, but when he heard the demo sung by the songwriter and his buddy he gave them a record contract to record it themselves. The Pilgrims recorded their debut album "Just Arrived" without that song. The songwriter was Paul Simon, his buddy was Art Garfunkel, the song was The Sound Of Silence. The lead singer of The Pilgrims was a black former soldier who was also a very talented Broadway, stage, musical and opera performer/dancer/actor/singer who later went on to star in 2 hit tv sitcoms named "Soap" and "Benson"........ the indomitable Robert Guillaume. Bonus: there are videos of Guillaume on KZfaq doing a fantastic rendition of another Simon And Garfunkel song "Bridge Over Troubled Waters". R.l.P. RG

@@dee_dee_place In a search for people to get along you get all rude. I was talking about people overcoming and you got all clinical and WRONG. Paul Simon has stated they have both gotten along. Garfunkel was the one who alleged Simon went and made an album without telling him. So your information is in the trash. Honestly, I deleted my comment to try to get rid of your comment. It failed. You are the reason people don’t get along.

@@dee_dee_place Here You go genius A journalist asks Paul Simon in 1986 why he and Art Garfunkel dint get along. Paul Simon replies they have gotten along since age 11. It was Art Garfunkel that claimed they didn’t get along. It was later PaulSimon made claims after Garfunkel continued making comments. Here’s the interview. Next time if someone is making a comment about people getting over themselves and getting along as n emotional matter, don’t inject nonsense that’s clinical. You are the reason people have a hard time getting along. You are so rude but factually you were wrong. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hsygq8qVqcnKp5c.html

A perfect analogy!

Just like the audience as well!

🤯🤔

@@rayjennings3637 Huh 🤔, say what ??? You mean this performance or social media ???

@@StevesFunhouse My initial thought was this audience but it probably applies more to social media. The audience here had better self-control than many others - particularly American ones!

Early to mid 70s, but yes

Yes.

@@janes.1559 Their first album, Wednesday Morning 3 AM was released in 1964. Next album (Sound of Silence) was in 1966. Also in 1966 was Parsley, Sage, Rosemary & Thyme. Bookends was released in 1968. Their final studio album was made in 1970, so Leonarda is correct: it was the late60s when they were at their height.

@@olga138 I think he was talking about himself, not the songs. Its all good anyway. We are all fans.

Mid 60s 70s here.

I literally have goosebumps right now

Yes, I get goosebumps just like when first hearing on AM car radio way back then. Best harmony since the Everly Brothers.

Lorna Shaw, watch Simon & Garfunkel on the Andy Williams show sing Scarborough Fair, omg!!

@@krimmie1111 That's a beautiful rendition of the song. Their voices blend incredibly with Andy Williams' voice.

NOBODY... but Phil & Don

Absolutely! 🙂

On the record Paul Simon's voice harmonizes with the guitar, singing the root notes of the guitar chords while Art Garfunkel sings the lead. In concert he harmonizes with Art Garfunkel's voice instead of the guitar.

@@willdwyer6782 they aren't mutually exclusive.

@@dougdavis8986 The concert version is almost a completely different song if you're singing Simon's part. If you listen to their isolated vocals from the record you'll probably be surprised to hear that Paul Simon's vocal span is about half an octave while Art Garfunkel's vocal span is an octave and a third. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y6hyeselr9uXZ6c.html

@@willdwyer6782 my point is that they are both harmonizing to the guitar chords and therefore each other.

I was there!!!! Remember when they were thanking people, they thanked the "guys selling loose joints!"? The air was thick that night! One of my favorite concerts... ever!

Best Simon and Garfunkel concert ever...pure perfection

The reunion made possuble by Lorne Michaels of SNL. I remember watching the episode Paul hosted and was doing a song when Art came out of the audience and joined him onstage for the first time in years. That planted the seed for the concert in Central Park.

I would have given my eyeteeth to be at that concert. I have the DVD video & the CD of that concert. I, too, get chills when the crowd roars at "and in the naked light I saw...10,000 people, maybe more". No matter where I am, I will always be an NYC gal.

10,000 people, maybe more ... People hearing, without listening ... hmm.

Paul and George Harrison sang a song together on SNL and it was great!

Have you watched them in The Concert at Central Park? When they sang some of Simon's solo songs together, it just showed that there isn't a Simon song in the world that can't be improved with a touch of Garfunkel.

Nicely put!!

I could be wrong, but I think this performance was at Madison Square Garden 2009.

That was said before the video started .

@@sallybannister6224 I started the video, when the song started

I walk my cat at night and sing their songs. For Emily, American Tune, I am a Rock all their songs are embedded in my brain. They will forever disturb the Sounds of Silence.

@@debrabiderman4275 For Emily was my song with my first boyfriend in college.

Their voices aren't what they used to be. They're both 80 years old now.

I thought, that was resolved, long ago.

@@calebclunie4001 Unfortunately they could not. They had a few reunions but never felt the same and according to Paul they will not try again according to Biography.

My favorite was “We may never pass this way again” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z9ecgdJ3lanDmGg.html

And Karen Carpenter that he's hardly done.

@@judyward3390 Yup, mine too

Summer Breeze! Brings back so many memories.

Greatest hits album comes up on KZfaq is a good one

Heavens choir is waiting for Art to get there and show them how it's really done! 👍✌

Agreed......

Best way I've heard it put

Plastics

Did you know that Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson did an amazing accoustic version of Cream's "Heart Full of Soul", live on thier R40 tour? Two accoustic guitars (Ged played a rhythm guitar) and one voice. Alex's accoustic guitar playing, as all RUSH fans know, is impeccable. I'd love for Jamal to react to that one, too.

@@martyadams3172 Heart Full of Soul is The Yardbirds.

I usually prefer studio versions to live performances but on this one I agree wholeheartedly.

Me too.. this live is so powerful

The original Wednesday Morning 3AM version is slower with little instrumentation in comparison to the better known single version released a year later.

The studio version did not originally have that up-tempo rock accompaniment; it was remixed and re-issued as a single because the song just wasn't taking off as it was originally recorded. Paul was "horrified" when he heard the remix; Art, not so much.

Everly Brothers

In fact Paul Simon said Disturbed's version was the best cover that he had heard

I prefer Disturbed's version. I find S&G's voices almost....too pretty, if you will....for the content of the song.

@@amyadams656 it's the best cover but the original is still the best!

This song should NEVER have been covered....

Check out the cover by Todd Hoffman from the Discovery Channels Gold Rush. Don't know if he has any professional music experience but he pretty much nails this song. Retired professional musician here.

he has listened to the studio version. He said he's checking out some of the live versions of stuff he's already heard.

@@stich21 OK thanks I missed that I thought he just heard the other version

Paul Simon at Ground zero is my favorite.

Me too!

With a support band full of stone-cold assassins, too.

This is that version

Yes, the band was stellar.

I really like the Boxer.

I love hearing Art sing it.

And S&G grew up in Queens.

your dad sounds awesome lol. queens is where they were from too, well simon was born in NJ. i am from queens also and my dad got me hooked on these guys early. it’s the reason i got into music young, and have been singing since 🤍

@@frehleyscomet8812 yes, you're right 🙂: from what I've read, Paul Simon was technically from NJ. My dad grew up in Middle Village in Queens, and he eventually moved to a desert state (where I was primarily raised, but not AZ), & then a mountainous state. One of his siblings stayed in NY, and 3 of their (now) adult kids. My dad is a highly intelligent, highly educated, thoughtful, gentle, and loving man. 💗💞💕

@@detectivekornfed that is such a beautiful to say about your father ❤️ wow. middle village! my family is from forest hills.

@@frehleyscomet8812 thank you! My dad is one of my heroes, and one of the best people I've known. He's endured a lot. I wouldn't be who I am without him; hence, why I appreciate, and value, nuance and wisdom. 😃
