So is double checking spelling. "Simin"
Great reaction!! Not sure if you heard of Angelina Jordan?? You cannot go wrong!!!
Paul Simon wrote this. Art Garfunkel sings the first two verses along and is joined by Paul for part of the third. This is the original version. Everyone else is a cover. To be honest, I am not sure why any one else bothered.
For real.
Maybe they have a career death wish?
It was Art Garfunkel from the start until it came to the verse... Sail on silver girl... Then Paul Simon joined in and they harmonised together with Garfunkel hitting the high notes
art is the tall guy behind paul.
Silver Girl was the name of the locomotive that pulled the train carrying Robert Kennedy’s body from Mass. to Washington DC.
@@mikeyg3202 Belushi: : "Nice hair Artie."😂
@@RiverRat1953 Never knew that...God.....thanks for that....
@@RiverRat1953 RFK's train was from New York to Wash, DC
I haven't found anything on the internet that associates that train (A Penn Central GG1 #4901) with the name Silver Girl.
"Silver Girl;" that Simon was referring to in this song was his wife Peggy Harper who had premature gray hair.
It's marvelous yet thrilling that after 54 years since this immortal classic was first released, it touches the hearts of those who listen for the first time in 2024.🥰
Art Garfunkel had one of the most delicate, and vulnerable sounding voices ever. A magical voice. And Paul Simon was one of the most gifted songwriters ever
Paul Simon is a true poet; his words and Garfunkel's incomparable voice made a masterpiece that'll still be being played in 2270.
Most of the song was Art Garfunkel, Paul joined in about silver girl lyrics. Paul said Art sang like an Angel.
After fifty years this song still gives me goosebumps and will do the same for many generations to come.
Some people think that the third verse of this performance is greatest performance of all time.
After all these years, still the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard..
My first single that I bought in London was 1960 and this was the title track of the first LP in 1969 :)
Totally, even tops Let It Be and Long and winding Road which I love the Beatles, but this...this is take somewhere those did not.
And oddly after all these decades, still the most powerful.
The most beautiful song written in the modern era of any genre.
In 1970 I was 11 years old, and this song was all over the radio, both AM and FM. You couldn’t escape it, nor did you want to. It was both gentle, and volcanic at the same time. It transports you to places inside your very being. You both heard the build from the opening stanzas, to the final ending. It’s about magnificent as it gets.
I was also 11 in 1970. Perfection of a song. The Boxer is my fav.
Come to think of it, the whole album was everywhere for awhile, and it was glorious.
Between this and Abbey Road and a number of other stunning releases in that little bunch of years, it’s a good thing we were too young to worry about getting anything practical done.
I personally spent about half of my life in the years from about 1970-74 lying on my family’s red shag rug, lost in a pair of earphones.
That voice is Art Garfunkel!
Just beautiful.
"I think that's Simon". No, that wasn't Paul Simon, that was Art Garfunkel. Later, Paul singing "Sail on Silver Girl" was Paul singing to his girl who had found a grey hair. She was freaked out and he started teasing her calling her silver girl. She later left and this was his goodbye. He was saying he would still be sailing behind her.
That was interesting. I never heard that and always wondered what he was talking about regarding Silver Girl. Thanks!
@@j.h.3777 My pleasure. I too wondered and someone told me as well. He was singing about Peggy Harper, his wife at the time. ;)
Art sang that verse too, with Paul on backing vocal.
@@squaaaaak3178 Thanks. I meant that's where Paul comes in.
@@j.h.3777 Probably a double reference - Silver Girl = The Statue (Goddess) of Liberty sailing on her lonely island with her torch shining on the hopes and dreams of millions of people.
Paul would later reuse this SoL metaphor in his equally beautiful song "American Tune" (1974).
Art Garfunkel, the blonde one, sings lead throughout the song and Paul Simon joins him on harmony in the Sail on silver girl part. Art Garfunkel’s clear, angelic vocals are perfect for this song❤
Paul Simon wrote this song, and Art Garfunkel is lead vocals! Their greatest hits album is a must-have for a music enthusiast.
Met Garfunkel when I was 10. Took guitar lessons with my friend Lou Pearlman, whose parents invited meover for dinner and told me to bring my guitar. When I arrived, Lou introduced me to his cousin Art Garfunkel. I had NO IDEA who he was. We played some guitar and he gave me his autograph that I still have. My friend Lou went on to form NSYNC and the Backstreet Boys.
the greatest best friend song ever!
This is like ... orchestral gospel rock. Beautifully written, sung, and produced.
This song is from 1970, just five years from when modern rock started with Bob Dylan's "Like A Rolling Stone." Rock matured so fast! Other hit songs from 1970: Layla, Let It Be, Your Song, Who'll Stop the Rain, Fire and Rain, Paranoid, All Right Now, Black Magic Woman, Have You Ever Seen the Rain, My Sweet Lord, War, Maybe I'm Amazed, and so many more.
I was 16. My parents took me to the city to a concert of their music. I watched them love the music and saw how much they loved each other. That night was life changing to me in terms of how I feel my mom n dad. They have now been married for over 60 years. I'm so happy they both are still around at 82. Memories are amazing
You guys are so young! Thanks for the reaction. This song came out when I was in 9th grade.
One of the BEST duos ever. I never heard one of their sings that I didn’t love. Proud to say we grew up in the same neighborhood. THANK YOU, THANK YOU for waiting until the end before making any remarks.
This song always makes me cry. It would have been great if you could have watched live ... Art Gunfunkle sings so effortlessly. First time here ... will be watching y'all!
Classic song that lives on forever❤
There are great songs and there are great songs. This is above great
The concert you are talking about was in 1981 Central Park, in front of 500,000
A perfect conjunction of first-class everything, from S&G at their final peak together, to the evocative wintry New York vibe (how many of us grew up staring at that legendary album cover, and the wonderful back cover, with its funny little lower corner shot of Paul pushing his head on Art’s back, and the sea of witty, enigmatic lyrics?), to the legendary “Wrecking Crew” musicians, to the glorious production sound.
“Bridge” is one of those albums you just point at, and say “THAT is how you do it, people, right there”.
2:05 man in yellow's swaying is keeping time.-Ernie Moore Jr.
At about the same time, James Taylor released his guitar version of YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND and pal and songwriter Carole King released her piano version. These songs are forever bonded together by almost nuclear bonding.
By the way, there was Gordon Lightfoot's IF YOU COULD READ MY MIND arrived. In a year and a half, the Anthem Concept was in full blast with Zeppelin's STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN.
All of these songs transition album fans from SGT PEPPERS pinnacle-album concept to the Anthem Song anchoring album concepts. From there, the '70s and '80s were full of albums that had a few good singles but at least one powerful 'anthem', later to be called 'power ballads'.
Perhaps the greatest vocal performance ever recorded!
My favorite song of all time❤❤
I was 11 years old when they released this and i still love it as much today as i did back then. Great review 💥💥
Probably the best song of all time ❤
Simon also has a great , although different, voice. They are perfect together. Simon is a also great song writer. My favorite is Fifty Ways To Leave Your Lover. Thanks for the amazing reaction! Ever so enjoyable. Thanks and God Bless!
American Tune is my favorite. Also Still Crazy after all these years, and Duncan
Paul and Art were not related, but you might say they went way back together. Friends since elementary school, they first found a little success as teens in the 1950s, performing under the names Tom & Jerry, with a hit, written by Paul Simon, titled “Hey, Schoolgirl.” A few years later, in the 1960s, they gained traction under their real names with a string of massive hits, including “The Sound of Silence,” “Homeward Bound,” “I Am a Rock,” “Mrs. Robinson,” and “Parsley, Sage, Rosemary & Thyme.” This song was from their fourth and last studio album, also titled “Bridge Over Troubled Water.” This album also included another of their most ambitious songs titled “The Boxer.” The duo broke up a short while later, but they eventually reunited and have performed many times together over the years. Paul Simon went on to a very successful career as a solo singer songwriter.
From what I've heard, Simon wrote both the music and lyrics, and Garfunkel rehearsed the lyrics without any music in the studio, and Simon and their Producer heard him and agreed then and there the music had to change to follow Garfunkel's rendition...
Sail on silver girl
Sail on by
Epic lyrics
I met both on a railway Station in Cleethorpes England in 63, they were waiting for a train to Leeds and onwards to London, two nice polite guys, heavily into folk music/jazz at the time, they had performed at an open air event the previous two days, Paul played and sang for an audience of about ten people the acoustics were reasonably good the singing was sublime, happy days indeed.
With respect, mate, I believe that you are talking out of your crack. Cleethorpes didn't even exist in 1963. It was just a muddy hole in the ground, filled with pigeon droppings and discarded chip papers. Art and Paul were still in preschool, pulling the legs off crane flies and defecating into trash cans. It's a tissue of lies.
Art Garfunkel has the voice of an angel, truly, and sings this song SO beautifully. Meanwhile, Paul Simon is the songwriting genius. They were both better together than either of them solo, in my opinion, and they left us so many beautiful songs before they split.
Although they did get together again for the Concert In Central Park which brought us A Heart In New York and My Little Town
The vocal is done by Art Garfunkle.
I don't dare tell my wife (of 39 years) but every time I hear this song I think of my high school sweetheart Christine. I was positive her and I were going to be married. Our parents said "no." I can't help it but I think about her to this day.
Ah....music lovers!
I've loved this since my childhood. I'm 61 y/o now, and while the recording sounds a bit dated....the vocal mastery never gets old.
Great reaction!
Nobody can do that anymore. What a song
Art Garfunkel has the voice of an angel. So sweet, and beautiful.
Beatles song Oh Darling......it's an underrated classic
Simon and Garfunkel, Donovan and the Moody Blues are the soundtrack of my life.
In the original song. There was no third verse. Lyrics were if you're dying my friend. I'll take your part and all instruments dropped out and Paul sung that one line.
When Not screaming was cool!
It’s almost like Jesus is singing these words to us. It’s a beautiful gospely song.
Karen, Jesus can't save this terrible world.
@@michaelasay8587 probably not. I was speaking metaphorically.
@@TheDivayenta ...and they're Jewish...lol
@@j.h.3777 well, ol’ JC was one, too, lol.
@@michaelasay8587 His shocking-to-some message of loving your enemies and doing good to those that hurt you could go a long way towards its healing, though, if enough people actually tried to practise it.
They are one of the best at harmonizing. Art Garfunkel did most of the singing Paul Simon sang during the verse
Such a classic folks !!! - thanks for the memories !!XXX
Sail on silver girl was an ohmage to Paul Simon's first wife. She was older than him, and was worried about her grey hair. Sail on Silver Girl.....Sail on by
Unconditional love, absolute devotion. This is to aspire to.
Paul Simon wrote the music and did the arrangements and sang some harmony (shorter dark hair) while Arte Garfunkel (taller blonde hair) sang lead.
the vocal is performed by the blond guy in the background, Art Garfunkel...
This is a very underrated band, imo. They really had something to say, and stories to tell.... As many did through the 60s and 70s. Especially the 70s. Thank you for sharing your time, and thoughts, with all of us. This is a bit of nostalgia. My Dad sung this since I remember. I cry when I hear it. Partly joy, and part sadness. So much can be gained from music... If we just give it a chance. Something to be said for the classics.
First, they are NOT a band lol. They are a duo. But I totally appreciate your comment on the classics. it was really kind of an anthem to the end of the 1960's tumultuous decade of change, even though IMO the 1960's did not end until President Richard Nixon resigned in 1974. to learn the history of the 1960' early 1970's is to understand the music and how it changed and was involved in that change. Really the 1950's didn't end until President Kennedy was assassinated...that upended everything along with a few other things that some politicians are now trying to rewrite history for their own spin and agenda... but I digress....
Sorry, don't agree about the underrated part. I believe they have been well and properly appreciated. They will go long in history as one of the best duos ever.
That is Art
Sweet!👍
The powerful operatic voice is Art Garfunkel.
The music - the bands - of the 70s are just in a class all by themselves - untouchable in music excellence. (Said the lady that turned 18 in 1970) lol I really enjoy you young people checking it out.
Elvis does a great cover
Simon and Garfunkel were together since high school. In fact under the name Tom and Jerry while in high school they recorded songs that got radio play. There is so much of their music even though they only did 5 albums together. My personal favourite song is For Emily Whenever I May Find Her. If you want to see a song of pure anger expressing hopelessness try Patterns. For resilience and hope in spite of everything against you, The Boxer. And for just pure beauty the studio recording Scarborough Fair/Canticle. Sound of Silence was the first album I ever bought was Sound of Silence and I still know the words to many of the songs, including A Simple Desultry Phillipic (or How I Was Roger Macnamara'd Into Submission)!
Definately in the top 5 songs of all time.
No it’s Art Garfunkel singing this one. His best. Also try For Emily, Wherever I May Find her. These two songs bring out his best when together as Simon and Garfunkel.😊
👍great reaction from people who really seem to know and understand music. 👍
AWESOME Reaction Folks! Love how you Respected the MUSIC 🎶! The Tall guy with the Crazy hair Is Art Garfunkel. He's doing the Lead vocals in This one! Paul Simon, the Shorter one was playing Piano 🎹, and Back up vocals!
Oh, Art!
watch the live version from the free , central park concert that man can SING
I would like to have heard Queen do a cover of this. Classic
The Sound Of Silence is another equally beautiful piece of eloquent songwriting...from the soundtrack of The Graduate...
0:09 good touch. Nicely done.-Ernie Moore Jr.
For Emily, wherever I may find her is another great Art solo
Paul wrote it; Art sang it.
After hearing the Righteous Brothers sing Old Man River, Art suggested to Paul that he expand the original quiet little two verse lullaby that Paul intended, into a three verse Epic that built up to a climax in the third verse. Paul was resistant but Roy Halee, their engineer and co producer, agreed with Artie so Paul went ahead and wrote the third verse in 20 minutes! Paul and Roy worked with Hal Blaine on the percussion elements while Artie sat with Larry Knechtel to work out the Piano arrangement (for which Larry won a Grammy for Best Arrangement 🏆). Clive Davis from Columbia decided right away to put this title track from the album as the first single which surprised both artists. They both thought of it as an album piece rather than a single, both because it had such a quiet start as well as it's length of around 6 minutes. Simon's misgivings were allayed when he first heard it broadcast over the radio. Artie's voice and the musical accomplishment translated well in the low fidelity of most car radios at the time. The rest is history. Many see it as the best popular recording of all time. 10/10
Art Garfunkel on vocals
that final note, makes me think of the final note by meatloaf in the song, bat out of hell
Thank God. A couple that let's the song play through without pausing. The most beautiful song. Personally I feel it's about Jesus in our walk of life and being there when times get rough. 🙏 He's there for us all.
I have heard this song performed by gospel singers, it is so more powerful to hear this as a song from God.
Simon sings the second verse then they both do the last one
One of the best of so many great songs from the all time best duo. Try my personal favourite "Kathy's Song" Art Garfunkel describes it as Paul Simon's best love song.
This is the original, it was written by Paul Simon ( he wrote all their songs ). It is sung mainly by Art Garfunkel, but Paul joins in on the third verse. No cover of any of their songs can touch the originals…..they were the best.
It's Garfunkel
❤
Classic
5:20 react: Feeling the voice.-Ernie Moore Jr.
Look for a cover by John Legend. So beautiful.
This song is not rap crap ,I hate rap crap ,,this is the real deal when music was music not crap ,it makes me smile and love life
Check out the “Graceland” album from Paul Simon’s solo career; not a weak track on the entire album, but my favorite is “Under African Skies.”
Always warms my heart when I see younger ones discovering artist from the sixties and seventies.
You know, when unlike today, music was exploding with talent. No auto tune and this crap today. What makes me laugh is that these rappers today aren't even singing, they're talking and they all need auto tune to sound good. Artist today both black and white are all angry, its like all joyless.
Everybody has to drop f-bombs to get their point across, why? I'm 64 and I'm pretty damn sure that the death of music started around 1976 with disco and it's been a gradual decline up to where we're at now which is dead. I OPD today's music (Officially Pronounced Dead) and this isn't old grumpy guy complaining. I have plenty of evidence to support my claim. Let me start with black music from the sixties. This was called soul music back then.
The Motown Sound out of Detroit was phenomenal ! Check this out, Diana Ross &The Supremes, Smokey Robinson &The Miracles, Stevie Wonder, The Temptation's (who were crazy good), The Four Tops, Marvin Gaye,The Jackson 5, The Marvelettes,, Martha & The Vandellas, Gladys Knight &The Pips, Lionel Richie and these ate just the ones that I can pull off of the top of my head.
This is a who's who of Hall Of Fame stuff here and that's just artist's from one record label. Black music was exploding with talent back then,give it a listen. My favorites were the black girl groups, so cool and looking back some very attractive girls.
Where has the talent all gone? Now for pop or rock music, so much talent in the sixties and the first half of the seventies. The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, The Who, The Door's, Led Zeppelin, Queen, to name a few and then the two all time, all time GOAT'S The Beatles and Bob Dylan ! Not even close ! I sometimes want to believe that for the sixties to give us these two in one decade that the stars or planets had to be lined up in some unusual alignment. What's the odds that in 1957 a 17 year old John would be introduced to a 15 Paul McCartney and they hooked up and then 4 months later Paul introduced John to his 14 year old school pal George Harrison who auditioned for John as a lead guitarist. Drummer Ringo Starr was the last to join in 1962. Boggles my mind that the nucleus of the first three young teens along with Ringo go down as the most important and influential both musically and culturally in the history of recorded music. They hold every record there is. They have sold over 800 million albums worldwide as of 2014. 1.6 billion, yes that's billion in the US alone and around 2.5 billion singles world wide. All 13 Lp releases in the US between 1964-70 all #1 a record and with the 3 Anthology LP's and and 5 compilation LP's also all #1 for a total of 21 #1 albums in the US. Between 1964-70 they had 20 #1 hits and 34 top ten hits on the Billboard Top 100, both records. Their 1965 song "Yesterday" written by a then 23/year old Paul McCartney is the most covered song in history with over 2,200 covers of it by other artist.
I hope you two are comprehending all of these crazy numbers here.
I almost forgot, as you two may be aware vinyl records are a big deal again. Guess who sells more vinyl LP's every year over the last ten years worldwide and every year here I'm the US is? That would be The Beatles. Not too shabby for a band that recorded for only 7 years between 1962-69 and they only recorded 4 songs in 1962. The Lennon/McCartney catalog of 200 songs written in those seven years is unsurpassed in the history of recorded music. They are by far the most successful songwriting partnership in history and it ain't even close. Michael Jackson bought the publishing rights to the Lennon/McCartney catalog in 1985 for the then staggering sum of 47 million dollars. When he died he was pretty much broke. His estate said that they were forced to sell the catalog a few years ago so that his two children could live a comfortable life for 757 million dollars and I've also seen one billion dollars. Either way a pretty wise investment by Michael. John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr.
Appreciate them because the likes of The Beatles will never be seen again. Now for Bob Dylan, this guy has been awarded evey major award that one can receive. In 2008 he was presented with the "Pulitzer Prize" for his "Profound impact on popular music and American culture, marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power" These aren't my words but those of the Pulitzer committee.
In 2016 he was awarded The Nobel Prize for literature after he had turned it down for years. Dylan was never one for awards and accolades but I think that he's up in years he might appreciate now.
In 2012 President Obama placed the American Medal of freedom around his neck, name Dylan's got it. One Obama story I like is that when he presented Dylan with his award and presenting Paul McCartney the Gershwin Prize in 2010 that he was quite nervous meeting them as he grew up loving The Beatles and McCartney's solo music and Dylan's music. Who would have guessed that the leader of the free world would be nervous to meet two aging musicians. You can bet that he awarded these two because he very much wanted to meet them. Let me tell you that Dylan was rapping long before rap was even a concept. Think I'm kidding you? Then check out two songs from his iconic Lp
"Bringing It All Back Home" The songs "It's Alright Ma (I'm only Bleeding) which will blow you away and will show you that their was as much BS in America in 1965 as there is today.
Listen to the lyrics closely please. Another one is " Subterranean Homesick Blues" its incredible. Another great one from this Lp is "Mr Tambourine Man" he's not rapping but the poetry and imagery is spellbinding.
I've read that this was about an acid trip he had and coming down from it.
I love the lyric "I know the evenings empire has returned into sand, vanished from my hands, left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping.
My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet, I have no one to meet and the ancient streets too dead for dreaming" Read that again,it's beautiful.
Take it from one who did his share of LSD in my late teens and early twenties.
That's coming down from a trip after expanding your mind for about 12 hours. You are branded on your feet for another 24 hours, your body and mind are drained but you can't sleep. That was the only downside to the drug and probably the main reason I stopped taking. 12 to 14 hours of mind expanding bliss as it sharpens all five senses in our brain by about 15% which doesn't seem like much but trust me, its a whole lot, like WOW ! I would suggest that you go on u tube and type in Bob Dylan reactions to these songs aside from "Mr Tambourine Man" but a must listen on this one but the studio version, not a live one. On the first two check out the number of young black males listening that say "This man was rapping, how long ago is this again"
I would suggest that all young rappers and want to be rappers, listen to Dylan as its invaluable information. Let me warn you two though that The Beatles and Dylan have the two strictest of all copyrights. I see enough people get around it but I don't know how you go about it. You could reach out to some reactors and ask how you do it. I don't know if you two are aware of who The Righteous Brothers are but check out You've Lost That Loving Feeling" video from 1964 and is still the most played song on radio to this day and from 1965 the video from the Andy Williams Show live performance of "Unchained Melody" in great color and great sound, you'll be blown away. These were two young white guys and their music was called blue eyed soul back in the day. Also the video for "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen, amazing. Two more and don't laugh. Frank Sinatra "Fly Me To The Moon" and "My Way" you know Frank, "The King of cool" back I'm the day. Amazing songs. I've seen a lot of younger ones both black and white who have reacted to these and are blown away. I didn't mean to rant here but rather educate out of love about all of the great music from the past when the world was exploding with true talent. Do what you may with it. I'm going to subscribe now and see what you two bring to the table. If you lean way towards this modern stuff I'll be out pretty quickly.
Sorry but this crap today, that ain't music but it is a whole lot mind numbing, meaningless BS !
Take care guysl
El Condor Pasa
@Mixed. Please react to Elvis sing this beautiful song. He did it live in 1970 and nobody did it better. Even Paul Simon said himself how could I perform it better than that?
♥♥♥♥
While Paul Simon is a really good singer, Art Garfunkel was the true singer.
Paul was also a great song writer which always brought the feels.
Art did write the song EMILY which is fabulous.
They were truly a great duo.
CHURCH ❤
They are not related at all but we're best friends from the age of 15 for many years.
react to American Tune
Now react to the cover "Bridge Over Trouble Water" by Aretha Franklin!!! Fire!!!
Elvis does an amazing version of this song.
Of course it's Art singing in this high register not Paul.
No it was not Paul Simon the little one is a tall one with the curly hair Art Garfunkel
Never listen to music with just one ear (at least if you aren't Vincent van Gogh). You might miss lots of important notes.
its art garfunkel, this song caused a rift as paul wrote it but people only see it as arts voice no its art garfunkel singing
Art Garfunkel - Best Singer/Arranger🏆
Paul Simon - Best Writer/ Composer
Bridge Over Troubled Water - Best Song ever.
