I was in awe watching this timeless legend singing his masterpiece. Who could be more of a New Yorker, more American, than Paul Simon? What song can describe the tragedy any better? I can’t think of any. The only complaint I have is that without Art Garfunkel, “Sounds of Silence” would have not been the monster standard it is. Bad decision not to include him. Also, a more fitting tribute would have been another tour de force, “American Tune”.
I certainly agree! This rendition would’ve been perfect and much more intimate if it were performed by the duo. Thanks for dropping by Musicollector!
