"For Emily".....maybe the most perfect song I've ever heard. What an achievement of creative humanity and God given talent.
totally agree
MAJESTIC
Mind blowing
Agree. I've never heard the song before but what you say, I echo. WOW, Artie sings like an angel.
🥺🥺true...the most beautiful song ever existed
I dare any of today's so called musicians and singers sound this good live...No computer pitch correction. Just pure live talent.
Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell ... just to name a few, it is very hard to come by these giants. Paul Simon sure is in the same league.
Agreed.. Simon and Garfunkel were the best duo ever..
Where's the band? This is not live, or if it is it was heavily augmented with stupid players. The Sounds of Silence is live.
You know it!
Without Fakin' it, probably not
When Art sings on "Emily" it's like listening to an angel. The purity and perfection.
2:43
Paul's 12 string playing is stunning as well. A beautiful song and performance
There is an intensity to Garfunkel's voice that makes it much more than just pretty. Simon is simply a brilliant guitarist. He can carry the entire concert with that one instrument like an orchestra.
Exactly, it's a special tension, as if he's declaiming a fundamental truth to people, a prayer or a poem, something we needed and were searching for, but were not aware till we heard it. Something crafted by the unique and poignant writing, and playing of Simon, and created by the perfect, misterious simbiosys of their two voices, of their souls...
They are quite unique in music.
He's a Scorpio so intensity is his middle name.
SO TRUE.
פול הוא המוכשר..ארט יש לו קול יפה אבל פול עושה הכל
I reckon Paul Simon is more than simply a great guitarist lol😂
One of the best duets in the history of popular music.
Duos... repeat offenders.
Yup exactly
True
The best
THE BEST DUO
Really, really love Artie’s voice. It’s so perfect. Paul is one of the greatest songwriters , so talented. They are the best duo ever!
five minutes into this and I am already astonished. These guys are not much more than kids writing and performing great poetry that helps define an era, and transcends that same era, as literature tends to do, which they put to notes on the musical scale. And then they sang that creation with a purity and simplicity that expresses it all.
I totally agree with your assessment. And - you expressed your views with perfection.
Well said, I agree, what a beautiful song🎶💓🎶🌼
They were a duet for year in the late 50s-early 60s. In fact, they broke up after making the first LP. Hits from that got them beack togehter. In other wrds, they weren't that young in 1968.
They're not kids, they're nearing 30 here.
They look like babies, but my goodness, what magnificent talent there is between them. Love them.
Do they, even now, truly realize the depth of their talent. So many moments for my generation. Thank Simon and Garfunkel!
I’m sitting here listening to these two amazing people and I look at the audience and realise that; at that time I wouldn’t have been allowed to sit in the audience. Thank heaven for UA-cam. They touch me greatly with their wonderful sounds. Each word has meaning, so powerful. Nothing like some of the empty lyrics you hear today.
Why wouldn't you have been allowed to sit in the audience?
The magic moments begin when Art starts to sing.
Absolutely... He was blessed with the voice of an angel. Together, they have given their fans an infinity of awesome music. Love them. Paul's songwriting and marvellous gituar playing gave Art's voice wings... And doesn't his voice fly. 😍
@@patriciabarnes7034 I grew up in the sixties, so I've listened to them all my life. I can't get over how beautiful their harmonies were, but the big thing that always gets me is Paul's guitar playing. How does he do that? It's like the highest possible level of folk guitar playing. He makes it look easy, but OMG that is top flight guitar playing.
@@continentalgin truly
If I could sing like any singer it would definitely be Art Garfunkel ,his voice is a gift from Heaven.
1965 and just about to enlist in the British army, what a time to be young. The Beatles with Simon & Garfunkel were the sixties. The best time to be young.
Their voices are so beautiful, how lucky we are to have them .
🥺🥺❤️❤️
I didn't even know Paul had a brother so
watching them play together here was a
real treat.
Paul and his brother look like twins. Look at their right sideburns. Looks identical. Facial features look similar, too.
Every time I hear Art sing "For Emily," I expect a standing ovation to follow
I never get tired of listening to Simon and Garfunkel ( or both of them singing solo ). Garfunkel's voice is so smoothly angelic, but Paul's voice is great, too. The perfect duo. I've listened to them my whole life. Such a treat!
"Simon/Garfunkel/1968" - I knew this was gonna be great! 🙂I just like to watch Art "breathe" because he has so much control over his voice. And then there were 2 Pauls!!👍🏾🌹 Bravo
Simon & Garfunkel used to play at pretty small venues, I remember seeing them twice at Eastern Illinois university, great concerts.
John Carter How nice to see them in a quaint setting. Fitting for the subject of the music.
stunning !!! pauls flawless guitar work, the songwriting, the heartfelt vocals, OMG !!!!
Yeah, OMG that guitar work! Astonishing!
Paul has always been so underrated as a guitarist.
To this day, there is no duo that can harmonize better than Simon and Garfunkel. They are truly a gift to the world. There is deep meaning to all that Paul writes......
What's to say except that it's so pure, elegant, unique, & utterly beautiful.... no one like them
Artie, the young man with the most magnificent, angelic voice ever. Young Paul and Art, they were also very cute. Magnificent song and Art certainly gave it wings. I wonder if they ever watch these old videos? So young and talented...Legends.
just shows what a great acoustic guitarist is paul simon as well as singer and what a clear singer is art garfunkel. very respectful audience.
Poignant poetry and haunting music combined, what a genius!
We shan't see their like again. How fortunate we were to listen to their wonderful music.
神業です。ガーファンクルの優しさ、控えめの出演が素晴らしいハーモニーです。ギターも。全く飽きないです。
Saw this when first telecast: now on 3-31-2020,I'm watching it for the second time and the CONTENT is revelent TODAY as it was THEN!!!!!!!
where did the years go?
This is absolutely, wonderful! What great talent these men have!
Is anyone also listening to good classics during the quarantine - Covid 19 2020?
I'm only listening to Simon&Garfunkel. I can't get enough.
2020 yes, and still listening in 2021.
Just got my second shot.
2021..There will never be another Simon and Garfunkel
500 yrs. From now these guys will be remembered. Hopefully.
You know, Paul Simon is just a beast of a guitar player, it gets overlooked.
Beautiful melody, perfect harmony, and meaningful words. They are the very best duo ever.
Each of us are born into this world with a complete unknown where we are going to end up. Along that path, we endure trials and tribulations that we have to overcome to succeed. Simon and Garfunkel filled that need , with music that , if you welcome it, can help one overcome adversity. True talent that in some ways will never be repeated. Thanks for helping me get through it all
You are so right, that's what their music do, it's music for our aching, burning, wandering souls. Bless them
The Sounds of Silence literally has been the leitmotif that has inspired my entire life...and incredible piece of music...
One of the greatest songs ever written, to be sure. "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls, and tenement halls." Left me speechless when I first heard them as a boy growing up in the 60s. Still affect me now.
The drumming is …perfect. I mean, it’s a small part of the whole. But - it in itself it is perfection. The whole would be less for any other drum piece.
Best duo EVER..., Paul Simon is an absolutely awesome song writer....
as well as a guitar player....
And, I don't think I've ever heard a better voice than Art Garfunkle....AMAZING!
I agreed on Paul's songs being some of the best ever written........but the Everly Brothers are the best vocal duo ever........ask Paul Simon,he'll tell you!
I genuinely believe Paul Simon could depict better imagery and evoke more emotion than Dylan, Lennon and McCartney.
Heinkle you can't deny his imagery!Sounds of Silence has the best lyrics as far as a song playing a "movie in your head"if you get my drift!
What a find!!! Thanks for posting this treasure! Never knew Paul had a brother with such talent, too! Miss Art's sweet voice.
Paul's brother, Ed, is actually the better musician. He first taught Paul how to play the guitar.
I saw S & G live in Pittsburgh in 1966 or 1967 when we were all college age- great memories!
Was it loud?
Ahhh...youth is a wonderful thing. Creating music and singing so beautifully...like it’s nothing. Great memories, thank you!
my God, they look like twins, why did we NEVER EVER hear of this man again???
With the crap music today it is sure nice to see true musicians.I'm 58 and enjoy this it brings back memories of being a kid.
The way I remember it ...the way it used to be....when life was new and the upcoming music was transitional for the times...now at 68 I watched this and "I remember when..."
Well said. Absolutely!
One is gifted with songwriting, the other is gifted with the angelic voice. They make a perfect pair.
How have I lived to be 60, and listened to Paul Simon and S&G my whole life, and never knew that Paul had a brother named Ed who played guitar? I wonder whatever happened to him...
Nothing like them today, and few matched them then... so, so special
Wow! I just stumbled over this piece of old film on here. I remember listening to these songs on the radio way back then and loved the special sound I heard. Their music has accompanied me throughout my life and has given me great pleasure and peace along the way. This film has a purity to it that I have never seen before. The biggest surprise was seeing Paul's brother playing along. I didn't even know he existed. Fantastic to watch this and I will watch this over again and again. Wonderful!
I always thought how still Art looks during his preformances. He gets totally lost in his singing... Total concentration and never, nor seldom taps his feet or shake his tail feather, so to speak. He looks like the shy intervert, yet, I think Paul is shy too but, there's something behind Paul's eyes, and a look on his face that is as deep and complex as an ocean.
Love all the songs these two did together... Still do and still listening to them today Their voices were made to go together. March 2021.
I agree. These guys are great! Love listening to all their songs. Thanks for posting.
These songs will be on planet earth 500 years from now long after nasty rap music was long forgotten.
Very good - and nice to see a glimpse into what might have been, with Simon & Simon!
Thanks for putting this on UA-cam. I missed it the first time around. It's amazing.
Simon and Ed look like twins! I never knew he had a brother.
Me neither !! I wonder why they never did an album featuring the two of them.
Paul Simon had a way of writing of some of the best lyrics in songs. 'we're just a habit like saccharine" written by Paul Simon. Hehe. He is a gifted genius.
Could Artie's voice be any more amazing?
The best voice of all time
Any more amazing and he'd surely be an angel. A once in a lifetime voice.
I saw Art in concert once and it felt like the walls were vibrating from the power of his voice, he was amazing
Born with perfect pitch. Hits precisely the right notes every time. Unbelievably rare talent. Enunciation, articulation, it's all perfect.
You should hear his son, Art Jr.
Brings back memories from lon ago. I saw this on TV. So happy i grew up in this era.
Beautiful music Paul and Art So Amazing Angel voices
So needed this today. I grew up with these two.
I didn't really pick up on Paul Simon until I was in high school in the 80s then started to listen to his earlier music w/ Art.
Simon and his brother are great
Younger brother, but look like twins.
Simon is a vastly underrated guitarist
Respectfully, from Wikipedia - "In 2011, Rolling Stone named Simon one of the 100 greatest guitarists"😊
When was he underrated?
How are there 34 people alive that could dislike this?
democrats
Wish I could go back to those days!
They make it look so easy.
I saw this at the time. One of their best live performances, very human.
Absolutely documental. Thank you very much.
👏👏🤩⚘⚘❤❤ Que maravilhoso ver estos grandes talentos cantarem!!!!!!!
Foi pensado minuciosamente em cada detalhe de arranjo musical e vozes. Poderia estar horas ouvindo vocês meus queridos.
São duas pessoas + dois talentos +dois personalidades +dois momentos...permanecer por longos tempos, será impossível não haver alguma divergencias, mas perduran com o tempo o mais precioso que existe em vocês que é o carinho, a amizade e a cumplicidade. Um foi o escudo para o outro i incondicionalmente. Independe do grau de apoio, mas se ajudaram mutuamente e daí são os melhores. Isso também há uma fatia de humildade para conquistarem o mais alto posto de reconhecimento perante o publico maravilhoso que os amam. Ademais dos mais belos atitudes de verem e servirem em ajudarem aos menos favorecidos pessoas por esse mundo afora. Meus Parabéns meus queridos amigos. Razão do meu grande amor por vocês e são de grande relevancia em meu coração. O respeito, admiração e carinho que sinto por vocês. Que Deus abençoa grandemente vocês e família. Como toda equipe que vos auxiliam.
E felicito a Eddie que se revela que também merece o nosso carinho! Como entende. A musica viven em esses dois irmãos e por um instantes parecem gemeos com tanta habilidades e talentos juntos!👏👏❤
To have one Paul in this world was already awesome...! BUt now theres two of them!! This is too good to be true
holy crapoli there be two paulie simons in dis ting
That’s a whole lot of talent right there!
The 35 thumbs down grew up only knowing rap, no musicians or singing talent. But this is now, in far off yesterdays talent meant something else.
14:43 "there are other songs that go beyond one person"😍 The sound of silence could not be better described!
So glad I was in That 1960s generation and associating the words of Simon and Garfunkel in their songs of New York City where I was born and raised and knowing these guys were both of the same borough of Queens like myself!
Took me back to when I was 19. Thank you/ It gave me goosebumps. They truly were unique.
Wow, they're even better than I thought!
Genuis' with lyrics, writing and playing along with incredible harmonies
Gave me goosebumps.... Absolutely Incredible. 👊💚👊
It's interesting how different the phrasing is in this performance of The Sound of Silence compared to the recording and many live shows. It proves how professional they were in each and every performance where they happened to be. Never missed a beat. Wish l was older when they were most visible because l would've appreciated them more.
Fantastic. Thanks for posting this.
Sorry some feel the need to bash modern musicians. we need music! This is a wonderful example from the days of my youth.. And i love it when the young generation likes it too. But i mostly hope they love music that speaks to them. And am sad when the kind of music you like/dislike gets weaponized in the inane culture wars or destructive inter-generational strife.
You're right! Thanks!
The '60's and '70's were an era of creativity that produced wonderful music. Today is NOT the same era.. No Comparison !
There are few things down here close to perfection. Their synergy is one, doubtless.
Hands down, one of the best duos to ever hit the music scene, Paul's creativity drawing from rhythms and melodies worldwide, and Art's stunning vocals second to none. Even after splitting up, they continued to move and exhilarate us with their individual talents, and I personally consider Art's solo efforts to rank his best, and among the finest offerings of that genre. I dare anyone to sit through his "Breakaway" album without getting misty eyed.
Amazing....simply amazing!!!
Totally captivating and no need for any ridiculous stage setting which now have to be compulsory for concert shows in order to over compensate and distract the audience from the lack of song quality and talent that they are observing. This is just two young men with real song writing and singing talent!!!
Thank you for posting!!
Such a beautiful voice and handsome man. He has it all.
I am talking about Artie.
Paul Simon recently posted "The Boxer" performed in his home. The old man, almost 80, still has it.
saw that too
OMG. I saw that, and was almost in tears. He also did a recent video of American Tune, and I started to cry. It really got to me.
Do you have the link?
For Emily at 2:30
otherworldy.... Art's pitch is immaculate
I think this is their greatest song.
yes and a heartfelt emotive delivery!!! transcendent !!
@@writereducator
BINGO
Art Garfunkel has the best voice ever..
@@writereducator I wouldn't go that far,great yes but The Sounds of Silence and Scarborough Fair I would put before Emily..
Artie is a cutie! They are not crowd pleasers but the moment they start singing , just the amazing harmony speaks for itself.
Thanks a million for posting.
Genius...all i can describe the way they make and compose song lyrics and melody...and the audience well behave...ahhhh wish i could go back on those good olden days....paul and art...we will always be your avid fan here in the philipines..........
Few words: they are an important part of my life
In my 60’s now, and not in great health, but I always feel great listening to this timeless classic. It reminds me of my first girlfriend when I was a young boy, and takes me back to my youth listening to Simon and Garfunkel on my old turntable. I wish I could go back there one more time before I pass.
Yes, I really can feel what you write here. I am 72 now and feel the same!
@@karl-heinzhuber5910 👍
Brilliant..... There’s nothing more to say
I remember those two. I miss the music of that time.
These guys are our friends and touchstones. I still have my 45 of I am a Rock.
No, no strings For Emily! Art’s voice gives us all the emotion we need.
for Emily the most beautiful song ever
I have to agree. My most favorite song they ever did. I've played it over and over again.
I like more "The Boxer" and "American Tune". "For Emily" is nice but too similar to others Simon and Garfunkel's songs.Ciao.
Cynthia Russell me too, i played Emily over and over again for almost 20 times, love his voice,
This song brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. Beautiful, I miss those days gone by.🎶💞🎶💓🌹
Ever?
Thanks, so good to know this will live on.,
Son magníficos, y Garfunkel, tan bello como su voz. Al terminar Emily, hasta Simon reconoce el alma que puso Art. y lo mira como diciendo: "Maldito" perfecto, ¡no te basta con ser tan guapo, además tenías que tener una asombrosa voz!
How after all these years this is the first time hearing about Paul Simons guitar playing brother
No kidding? They look like twins!
I took introductory guitar lessons from Eddie Simon in Manhattan in the 70s.
He had The Guitar Study Center in NY years ago
Honestly for a moment I thought this was an outtake from a sci-fi flick where he had momentarily just cloned himself - they looked so alike.
When this was recorded Paul was 26 years 2 months 21 days and Art 26 years 1 month 29 days. Yes, they are that close in age.
thought they may be younger -
They were chums
That’s school chums
The setting was so cool. Wish I was there.
Garfunkel was the voice. But Simon was the genuis.
Can't get enough of them. I am completely enamored by their songs...
Yes, thank you to UA-cam for sharing this ❤
Anji is one of the best songs ever written I wrote a school project on it once
So lucky to have been around when these voices emerged as the Empire collapsed.
