Paul Simon on the Michael Parkinson Show in 1975, singing "Homeward Bound" I shall slip this into my "singer songwriters of the 70s" playlist. Check out corporalhenshaw for the best clips of folk, blue, country, jazz and gospel.

And he makes it look so easy, thats the sign of pure talent

How many artists can, off the cuff, sing a song just like the original recording, one of the best ever.

[@ashpulse8681]

better than the original. utterly rare talent

[@jayadevmenon]

Tears of joy and sadness well up whenever I hear this amazing composition.

[@kenacycle]

This song is such a beautiful and precious gift to the world. Thank you Paul

[@bonkousmcnaughty4604]

How good is this performance! Jeez that is talent!

[@paulnutbrown9836]

I've been playing guitar a while, then I watch this and think wow, I'm a beginner

[@geoffjoffy]

That is just so AMAZING.

[@tsopuaifa]

I love this guy and how he brings life to us through his music and words. Pure love.

[@goovialisticprofunks]

Top 5 songwriter of all time. BAM 💥

[@claraesh]

How did this make me sob?

[@onejohn85]

It took coming to the North of England for Paul Simon to distill the essence of wanting to be somewhere else.

[@booooo666]

Lol.. I understand exactly.

[@thetrevorosborne]

simply magical

[@davidallen346]

My favorite song of his since college , Peter & Gordon does a wonderful cover as well

[@TheRunner75]

Thanks. I love Paul Simon and S&G. Here you can see him playing acoustic like a kind of tutorial.

[@pinedastaglio6500]

I felt a deja vu playing this song in a foreign soil where I tarried for fifteen years!
To my susprise, most of these songs by Simon and Garfunkel is likely to be suprimposing on my experiences as an OFW vagabond in other countries!

[@svenforner]

I love how he just casually edges the capo up on the low string to adjust the tuning.

[@MilesBellas]

Edges up?
A capo must be behind the strings.
The tuning is standard.

[@svenforner]

@@MilesBellas the intonation

[@KenPotter]

KEEP THE CAMERA ON THE GUITAR... PLEASE!!!

[@garylucas7050]

This music unfortunately has gone forever , all time classic by a classic artist …class

[@booooo666]

It's here in youtube

[@colindingwall8171]

If I remember the show correctly Paul Simon and Michael Parkinson did not get on very well.

[@lewisgreen1633]

Colin Dingwall yes I could imagine that’s true. Parkinson had a directness that was disconcerting to a lot of his American guests..

[@Derek-rv3ee]

Love that Guild F30

[@Libra_winniehk]

👍👏👏

[@MilesBellas]

Alternative title "It's Grim Up North"

[@Javro5o4k]

It's not a very hard song to play once you know it

[@buckmurdock2500]

I think he can play that song in his sleep

[@Dave123unplugged]

That's when he could sing.

[@justliveandletlive]

What a nice comment. :(
