Lyrics:
(a-wa) O kodwa u zo-nge li-sa namhlange
(a-wa a-wa) Si-bona kwenze ka kanjani
(a-wa a-wa) Amanto mbazane ayeza
She's a rich girl
She don't try to hide it
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes

This album was every car journey as a kid , thanks Dad
Me too!! Except with mom :) perfect road trip album
I hope there are thousands of us out there!
Haha true, I thought it were just me and my brothers on the long road!
I second that 100%
Oh yeah. No childhood roadtrip was complete without this.
I remember hearing Graceland at the age of 14. My mom would play that album all of the time. As a african american at that age I was so taken by his respectful incorporation of african tongues into his songs. My mom would play music by Ladysmith Black Mambazo so when I heard them on this album I developed such a profound respect for Paul Simon, as an Artist and his ability to tell a story within the song. I lost my MIND when I saw him in concert one summer in Columbia Maryland (can't remember the year). I play Paul Simon any time my soul needs to rest from aggravation, while painting, or just to be in a sublime mood. Thank you Mr. Simon.
Mr. Simon's love of this music goes easy back. His mother and child reunion was the first (ska, i hope that's correct) early reggae hit in America.
kwakuhle sisi omuhle
I went to see him in Columbia Maryland as well in 2018 or 2017 and it was life changing
Nice nice peace fulllllll

I can't believe Paul is in his 80s... I got Graceland for my 15th birthday. I'm in my 50's now. Where did the time go? Any youngster reading this, take note LIVE, LOVE, EVERYDAY! Time flies by, then all those things that you promised you'd do become harder because of joints, eyes, pain and life getting in the way. I ignored this advice back in my day. You probably will do too.. or will you??
❤ 💕
For me, with my S.A past (made but not much time there) I love this.
I too agree with you
I used to look up to my father for Christmas clothes, can't believe today my kids now looking up to me for their Christmas clothes now Life is a circle live in peace and take care of yourself
I played this album almost everyday when I was pregnant in 1988 with my daughter and my husband and I danced and danced all around the family room. After my daughter was born she recognized this music and loved this album. It was such a joyous time. I miss her so much.
Where is your daughter now?
Beautiful. You are a good writer. Straight to the point yet poignant, with a hint of mystery and heartbreak. I love this song and the whole album as well.
@@johnrose5759 My daughter has estranged herself from me and her Dad going on three years now with no real explanation. She lives 3 hours away from us.
I'm so sorry to hear that, family is so important. Hopefully she'll come back to you xx
@@nanclause❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
When I was a desperate mother of 3 children under the age of 5, one newborn with serious medical issues, I would play this song and dance with my babies to relieve stress in 1988 West Hollywood.
I hear you. I had a disabled child and nothing in bank account to get to Dr but this was so good to listen to in time of trials.
And where was your husband?
I remember standing on my dads feet as a small child while he danced with me to this song. My best memory. I'm sure it kids feel the same
How nice you had this song as a source of happiness and comfort. Hope you guys got out of those circumstances. Oh, ha, missed the "1988" part :)
Kanyea Kweh Oulaye there’s not always a husband in the picture, doesn’t need to be. Sure she was great mum all herself and hope everyone’s still going and healthy
I remember listening to this on the radio when i was a child in Kenya, East Africa. Paul Simon brought warmth to many African people who were going through struggle and suffering at a time when many African Countries were being ravaged by civil wars and apartheid
Kenya had been independent since 1963 ( Dec 12th if I recall!). So what kind of struggle were you battling with 23 years later?
Graham Ball independence ≠ peace and civility
KBC
The sundowner show back in the days
ITS NEVER PLAYED ON RADIO IN KENYA
Umm the word apartheid is from South Africa are u sure u from Kenya
I watched this with my sister so many times. It was our youtube therapy when we were down. I miss her so much. Jennifer Brown July 21 1955 -January 21 2021. Poochie I hope you are walking on streets of gold with diamonds on the soles of your shoes.
I'm so sorry for your loss..
♥️
She is still with you.
Thank you, Paul Simon, for sharing the beauty of African culture on this album. Zulu is such a beautiful language that is rarely heard/listened to by English speakers, especially in the US.
Growing up in south africa in the 80s, this was a God send. the end of apartheid was at the end of the tunnel, but this kind of music showed us that people if people of different races and backgrounds could get together we could make rhythm like no other.
I agree. Something about seeing black and white artists together warms my heart. It's just said how majority of Afrikaners look down on black music...
LBM had a whole new audience after this album. One of the best records ever.
and it's why I recently knew, here in new york city, that I wanted to take a gumboot dance class with a teacher in South Africa! Keep building the bridges.
I remember being at the laundromat thirty years ago and reading in the daily paper of my city that Mandela had been released. It was freezing outside and the ground was covered with snow (in Ohio) but I felt so warm. It was like a miracle.
@@MsLogjam Beautiful memory.
April 2024 and I still love Graceland ❤️
Hopefully one day we’ll get there ❤️
My grandma to this day plays her Graceland cassette dancing in her room all by herself, I love her & I love this music !
I think that is so INCREDIBLY KOOL ! Tell Grandma that is the key to longevity and never , ever stop ! May God Bless You & Your Entire Family......,.
So why aren't you dancing with her??
I am on my mid-40th now, i heard this song when I was 10 years old in 1990 , but still, I love this song till today
my granma and your grandma sitting by the fire?
In youtube type in the this song title and alternative and it is an incredible version of this song with bass and vocals.
100 years - or maybe even 1000 years- from now, some kid somewhere will first hear this song and the rest of this album, and he'll be blown away and go around raving about it to everyone he can find. The beauty of the music and lyrics is timeless.
Honestly, that's me right now. I'm 25 and just discovered this album a couple of months ago, and I'm obsessed. I'm telling everybody about it.
At this rate, the human race will be dead in 1000 years
It's me right now lol... It started with hearing You Can Call Me Al, and now I'm just going down the Graceland and Paul Simon/Simon and Garfunkel rabbit hole
I believe it! ❤
Im 32, two years ago I discovered "50 ways to leave your lover" and I could not be happier everytime when I discover such music gems 🥰
The bass guitar playing is out of this world!!

I already know who he is.
take a listen to you can call me Al
a Million times :)

No lie. Sounds like he has more than 2 hands. He's all over that bass. www.notreble.com/buzz/2012/06/25/diamonds-on-the-soles-of-her-shoes-isolated-bass-vocals/
Ever try to play it! Tricky as F!!!
Think its a Mr Ray Phiri, South Africa

Me too...💫💖💫
Graceland by Paul Simon is probably among the best and most significant albums in my lifetime so far. Paul Simon is a world treasure. After 30 years, this album still gets me going. In a word, it's a masterpiece.
I could say the same for his album, _There Goes Rhymin' Simon_. God bless Paul Simon! May he live long -- his songs definitely will.
I couldn't have said it better myself. My parents had it on vinyl, then years later I got it on CD. Graceland remains one of the, if not the, greatest and most consistently enjoyable albums I know, without doubt. And this song is probably the best one on there.
Easily. I am so privileged to have seen the Graceland tour twice - once, in the fourth row at Radio City Music Hall, with Miriam Makeba and Hugh Masekela. One of my all time favorite records.
You lucky devil!
GildaLee27 Wristband is a good album.
Howard jone
This is the greatest bassline of all time. The bass literally makes this song what it is.
It is incredible but I think the interplay between Bakithi and Ray Phiri take the music to even greater heights than just the bass line alone.
this track is mastered beautifully. it sounds absolutely amazing on a good system. the highs / lows and the vocals and the reverb they used on it all is spectacular.
haha greatest bassline of all time. You lead a sheltered life.
bought a fretless just to play this
Ray Phiri has just passed away
I love the African rhythms and tones of this album, it's just beautiful.
When I was 15 years old my father and I had terrible differences.
But then Graceland came out, we listened together, and somehow, it made everything right again!
Thank you for making that happen.
To this day, I (almost) exclusively listen to African music! Changed my life!
"Ah, the power of music is something else."
What I love about Paul Simon is the way he dresses up complex issues like consumerism and classism (and racism) and puts them in a musical package so divine you can help but listen. Even if you don't get the undertones at first, they will eventually unwrap themselves through repeated listens. Music is the most potent way to change the world, and he's done a tremendous job of it.

that's because, like any artist worth anything, he doesn't 'dress up' anything, he writes about life. you see in it what you see in life. in your case, you see all those isms you mentioned
What was the story in this song?
I love that this song will forever remind me of my dad. Sitting in the front seat of his 97’ Taurus while he explained the lyrics to me and sang along.... its some of my favorite memories. Every time I hear this I’m transported back to being my ten year old self when my dad was my superhero and nothing else mattered. He is still my superhero, but while we are all getting older I’m just thankful to have these memories. Thank you Paul.
That's a nice memory, paints a picture 👍
Sarah Smith just like me and my dad. Me asking what is the meaning off this song. And him just looking at me and explaining the mean off this song
Sarah Smith thank you for sharing this touching story I have one similar
My dad, too! He let me borrow this CD and I fell in love with it.
Oh my! Same here. This song reminds me of my dad,it was one of his favs when we were growing up in the 90's.
Precious memories!!
Dad,
If for some reason you see this, thank you for sharing such great music with me! I love you
From an Irish Dad & a Belizean Mom, I can't begin to express how hard this song hits me.
This was revolutionary. What a stroke of genius to include the African sounds of Ladysmith Black Mambazo.
Rob Kates It would be better if Ladysmith Black Mambazo were actually *mentioned* in the video description. They got a lot of attention when the song came out, but these days we only hear Paul Simon.
I agree, they should have credit since they made this song really stand out.
Rob Kates I was just thinking the same thing
hey rob thank you! I've been trying to find out the name of those guys forever!
Rob Kates o
I liked this song when a young girl who like to dance. I saw me as Diamond Shoes girl. It was a song that lifted my spirits. Today I'm going on 80 and just 'discovered' it again. Excuse me, I MUST dance before it's over!
hahahaha Dance Luna, Dance!!!
Young girl? You were 45 when this song came out!
@@ferglesnerk Shhh!! ..we're all dancing w/ Luna here, David. No Grumpy ppl allowed.
yo yo you dance a in those
Diamond Shoes avec feathers
Her English is not clear enough to decipher what she means Obviously as ‘Dave’ (above) says she would have been 45 yrs old at the time of this song 🤷🏻♂️
Cat Dad here got to see Paul and dancers perform this live. A great memory, thank you Paul. SHARED to our Playlist. ♥#tessaslegacy
Paul Simon is a Folk Song legend. Sometimes I wake up & 1 of his songs is playing in my head. That’s the start of a beautiful day.
How am I only finding out this video exists now?! I've tears in my eyes seeing this for the first time. I grew up listening to this album. I'm 39 :O
Me, I'm 53. This was the first album I bought after getting freed from national service. it was the soundtrack to my new freedom.
This was the very first record i ever bought... Graceland... still strong after almost 35 years.
Still crazy, too lol - crazy good

Amazing leg work
FIRST CD I ever bought too. I'll never forget it. Have it framed
This is Simon's best song, and I'm tired of pretending it's not.
It's not.
Even though my childhood was terrible, marked by violence, hatred and humiliation, I also associate it with good things, like Paul Simon's music. My mother listened to the album Graceland up and down every day. I remember Paul's voice giving me goosebumps then and now, but also enveloping me with love and energy. One of the best albums of all time.
I'm so sorry. You are a joy and a survivor.
My heart is broken watching this now. Tata Shabalala was instrumental in me loving our very diverse South African music. This was my jam. Tatu Shabalala and Jonny Clegg brought Zulu music to us
i feel you man. We stand strong
thanks friend, I am a WASP, I loathe that word- I am just me, from Canada and I always loved American blues and Bob Marley but then I began searching through people like Simon, and Cooder and Taj Mahal and I fell in love with REAL African music, what you never hear on the radio- you are blessed to come from such a rich culture, Canada has become the country it is because of our immigrants, bless all of you. I will check out the artists you mentioned. I love Ali Farke Toure- I can't remember what part of Africa he is from- do you agree when we listen to music we don't take up arms against each other, we just flow-? Namaste, Z
@@MSYNGWIE12 Ali Farkas Touré is from West Africa , Mali to be precise.
Let your heart be srong...filled with the wonder of a life well lived..
You know what he's singing about. Hidden diamond ❤❤❤❤
I bought the CD a week after it came out and still play it regularly. I love it. I remember going to the Graceland concert in Los Angeles and dancing to Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes it was an amazing experience.
One of the greatest records of the 80's and probably one of the finest of all time 👏 👌
this is my 1.5 year old daughters favorite song. she jams out to it , bopping around. she has good taste
I remember listening to this for the first time and thinking: ‘Why does the combination of a trumpet, trombone and most importantly a kazoo sound so darn good?’
Thanks for the great love and support you show me as a special fan of mine, I hope you won't stop listening to music, and thanks for your sincere
Compliment and love towards my music❤️❤️may god bless you.
Easiest way to put a smile on someone's face is to show them this.
Paul Simon...reminds me of my childhood...
What a voice, beautiful, calming...I have no words to describe it really, nothing I write here would do it justice really.
+Camden1313 He's the Bob Ross of music isn't he? :D
+Camden1313 Just marry me will you?
+Camden1313 I feel the exact same way. Heavy nostalgia; reminds me of childhood. Great music to grow up with.
+Camden1313 nostalgia sets in and the memories start flowing its awesome what certain music can do to the euphoric state of mind
+Camden1313 My baby brother learned to read from the covers and liner notes of my Paul Simon albums.
*Im not denying the lyricism mastery but Mr. Simon without that band and those amazing backing vocals wont be the same. Africa brings joy to Humanity.*
That’s the point of this whole album.
The beats that made this a classic was provided by a Ghanaian producer... the Ghanaian highlife is evident
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Paul Simon is a Genius. My first time hearing Cecilia, I was four and my babysitter brought the record and we danced. My true love of MUSIC began. 50 yrs later, and I still love everything this man has shared. Thanks( for the memories) Paul. ❤
Hello I really do appreciate you for being a big fan thank you for your wonderful comments on my post it really means a lot to me.I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music…..❤️❤️❤️
I feel the beautiful spirit of the South African people through Paul's songs here.
Thank you Ladysmith black Mambaza for putting South Africa on the music map
I come here to listen to this masterpiece every beginning of the new year to get rid of the January blues ❤
What a wordsmith. His work is just wonderful. Such beautiful imagery and human insight. Thank you Paul.
I didn't understand how special this man's music was as a kid, but even back then I knew it was good music!
I´ve been listning to this since I´m a 4 year old in the back of Dads Car. Getting older sitting in the front, yelling out the text and watching Daddy drumming with his thumbs on the wheelchair and body moving everywhere. We must have looked very stupid but this music just makes us go crazy XD
That's the best, to Sophie kemp
Me too, I was 11. Pops played the album in the car while we drove home from school
What a great memories
Sophie Kemp I feel like we’ve lived the same childhood lol
haha yr not the only one whose dad looked like he was having a seizure driving just enjoying music - here's to great dads no matter their limitations, they never limited their love!
Love from WEST AFRICA,GHANA
You're still my grandma Marilyn and I listened to Paul Simon every time we went on long rides I Love you and I will always love and remember you 💖
Hello I really do appreciate you for being a big fan thank you for your wonderful comments on my post it really means a lot to me.I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music…..❤️❤️❤️😊
It has the original highlife rhythm. Love from the motherland 🇬🇭🇬🇭
She had diamonds on the soles of her shoes and Paul is a diamond the music world should never lose!
Paul Simon puts a touch of detail on his songs. So deep,. So spiritual. Some people learn music, Paul Simon is born with Music. He does it as easy as an eagle soars and lion roars.
I should never stop to be grateful to my dear friend, whom I asked one day: "Hey man, I'm looking for a great album, what do you suggest?" and he replied: "Well of course, Graceland by Paul Simon: I felt in love with it!" - God knows he was right.
Definitely a good and dear friend, good on you both brother.
My taste for great music started with these kind of Music. I thank my Dad for his beautiful taste in Music
In my opinion the most genius musician of all time. Everything from the blending of african rhythm to the lyrics to the textures/sounds to the progression and repetitions is perfect. Oh also, the dancing in the video is a huge plus.

I hope the sun is shining on you my friend. Wherever you are, wherever your headed. I hope you have diamond on the soles of your shoes. Lots of love.
This is therapeutic, never really realized till now Paul has the voice of an angel

@@changingwoman1494 how long have you been listening to my music????
I don't know why this album isn't up there with the greats.. and some of the best bass guitar you will ever have the privilege to here. True musicianship and songwriting.
It IS up there with the greats. I'm pretty sure it's in most "top 100 pop/rock albums of all time" lists
I don't know either - Graceland is a great album.
It's 2023 & Paul Simon is now & will forever be a MUSICAL GENIUS & LEGEND!💕🥰💕
My parents would play Paul Simon when I was little to help me fall asleep. These songs are sooo nostalgic for me. And very relaxing
I love how happy that one dude looks.
Am always glad to receive positive comments from my lovely fans 🤍🖤 it's absolutely my pleasure bringing sweet melody to you. May God bless you awesomely 🙏
I hope you have fun listening to this music 🎧❣️. Have you been to any of my concert?
Guy is a legend. Women and girls of the world.... You have diamonds on the ❤❤❤❤
Underrated
RIP Ladysmith's Joseph Shabalala and Johnny Clegg of Juluka
Indeed may the all rest in Power
😓💯❣️
Lucky enough to see both of them live !
My 4 year old daughter got to shake Paul
Simon’s hand a couple of years ago at Ace Hardware and I’m still bragging to everyone who will listen about her good fortune. An American treasure.
This album, this song, are medicine to the soul. The soul of a person, the soul of a country, for real, the world soul. What beautiful inspiration.
Many thanks to mr. Simon and everyone involved in making this music.
I'll never get tired of this album💯
@Paul Simon ♪ holy shit you responded...you are an amazing example of humility with such an understanding of the music that speaks to so many souls. Thank you for your music Mr. Simon.
💖
Rest in peace and in power, Joseph Shabalala, your work on this album and on others has transcended time and space and is universal.
I was 22, in the army, overseas and this was definitely in rotation on the boom box.
The part of this song at 3:41 drives me insane. I once listened to this song over and over for 3 days.
I hear you.
I’m South African and my boyfriend is American 🇺🇸 he introduced me to this song and we love it so much. It’s so good to know that SA and USA came together to make this masterpiece

This album still haunts me.
I first heard it as a child and it still inspires me.❤❤❤❤
My mom gave me this album a few days ago to listen to. Feels like I found god kinda, and I’m not even remotely religious. Listened to it always as a kid but didn’t remember most of the songs. Such a beautiful album it makes me sob
Thanks for the great love and support you show me as a special fan of mine, I hope you won't stop listening to music, and thanks for your sincere
Compliment and love towards my music❤️❤️may god bless you.
Paul Simon's music is the definition of timeless! My music producer friend introduced me to the Paul Simon when we were 16 and I've been hooked ever since, Such good memories hanging out in his basement blasting Paul Simon. I wanna throw my friend some love as we've been through a lot together try searching Lonely Gimmick - Beaches, it's his latest single and it gives me Paul Simon vibes, I'm honestly so impressed with it, its one of those songs that makes you happy when you listen to it
AWESOME! Like always! Thank you Paul, and to all of the great musicians, who sing and play music with you, on this video, and on all the occasions l’ve had the honor and pleasure, to listen to your musical genius. You are, certainly, the best among the best, there’ve been, are, and certainly, will ever be, on earth, as we know it! 🙏😘🌹🌺👏
Hello I really do appreciate you for being a big fan thank you for your wonderful comments on my post it really means a lot to me.I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music…..❤️❤️❤️
I listened to this album in 1986 (thanks to dad) and fell in love with Paul Simon at 13 years old with no right to do so as the greatest American songwriter in the post war era. now at 50 years old, I’m like, ya……
2:50 - I LOVE how Paul is just in the moment, vibing to his lyrics and the rhythm - this song is beautiful
I just went through an reviewed a lot of these comments. I'd love to see the age of each of the posters. It seems as tho there's everyone from 75 year olds to teenagers. It's awesome because great music becomes a classic and will live forever...
John Benner I’m 36 ;)
Brings back memories. My dad used to play Paul Simon and Seal in the car when I was a kid all the time.
Thanks for the great love and support you show me as a special fan of mine, I hope you won't stop listening to music, and thanks for your sincere
Compliment and love towards my music❤️❤️may god bless you.
@Lydia Frazier
How long have you been listening to my music??
❤ this song! I grew up in New Zealand in the 1980s, my dad played the Graceland album all the time (and still has it on Compact Disc.)
I remember hearing about the Springbok tour protests in Auckland which was a huge protest against apartheid and it closed a football stadium and caused riots on the streets in New Zealand. I spoke to a colleague who is the same age as me who grew up in South Africa and he heard absolutely nothing about these or any other anti-apartheid protests overseas until 1994 when apartheid fell.
Incredible times and this music brings me great memories of growing up in that era.
There have been so many classic albums in my lifetime: Rumours. The Dark Side of the Moon. Graceland is up there with the very best of them.
I remember this playing on the radio when I was a courier back in 1987. It was always fun to sing along and see the strange looks I'd get from people in other cars, I didn't mind; I was a rock star while I drove.
30 years young and still as brilliant as it was when they first cut the track!!! FABULOUS!!!
AA MacKenzie signs of a great talents contribution to the music world
AA MacKenzie yes they all are loved ❤️🦒
Fall of '89, my second year of med school, and my roommate had 'Graceland' on a cassette. I used to play it at full blast while cleaning the apartment. Good times.
I'm proud to be south African 🇿🇦🔥❤️ much love
You mean this group from south Africa?
This song was at both my parents funerals. Such a good song that's very special to me!
Saw Paul at the Red Rocks Amphitheater on 6/28/17. My daughter treated. Paul was AMAZING. Best concert I've ever seen .
Btw, I'm 66 y.o.
Jim mclaughlin- so young
a complicated piece of music by a genius
I'm so happy to find this song again. A great album. Joyful and political! Imagine!
Such a sweet voice, and such gorgeous lyrics! Thank you!!
Hello I really do appreciate you for being a big fan thank you for your wonderful comments on my post it really means a lot to me.I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music…..❤️❤️❤️
Where has this brilliant, genius, innovative music gone? Why don't we have more of it now?
@@sodainaplasticbottle5734 Hahahahahahaha. I like you.
Its there but not famous...
Millennials
You just gotta dig deep, homegirl. The mainstream is now where creativity goes to die, but just under that monotonous surface, there’s still a world of amazingly innovative artists: Crumb, Tame Impala, Mac Demarco, St. Vincent, Dr. Dog, Andrew Bird... just to name a few ❤️
If you listen to some of the newest artists, you will notice that some of the sounds are starting to make the 60's, 70's and 80's back, both the rhythms and voices are blending. It's bringing back the best of times. I hope these new artists continue this trend, since it was the best singing I can think of throughout the decades.
One of my favorite albums and also the absolute genius Paul Simon.

What a beautiful song... this song gives me the most desirable feelings... it is a medicine for my soul, which I have been prescribing to myself since I heard it. the music, the rhythm, the melody, the story, and that rebellious bassline. Wow!
