You will find that Paul Simon sings lead (or both in harmony) on most of their songs, but on this one, it is Art Garfunkel. Art has the voice of an angel. This is why their harmonies are so good. Art is the taller one.
Paul Simon wrote it they performed it. It was Song of the year 1970, Grammy. Everyone and their cousin covered it. Like Superstar, everyone covered it (even Carpenters on that one). Great reaction to a gem!
Simon and Garfunkel were a major group during the 60s. They had many hit songs. Mrs Robinson is a good one. Not only was it a hit, the song was featured in the movie The Graduate. Other major hits are Sounds of Silence, America, Scarborough Fair and many more.
This song and Sounds of Silence are the most iconic songs if S&G. They are timeless classics. Paul Simon is the songwriter. Here the angelic high tenor voice is Art Garfunkel. Then Paul came in. No, Elvis didn't write his songs. He did a cover of this song
Stunning, iconic masterpiece that is absolutely immune to the passage of time. Your reactions warm my heart and lift my spirit. That huge smile and rapturous expression towards the end is exactly why I subbed: I love to see someone else moved by music the same way I am, a true music lover who feels it instead of just hears it. 😊 Great content, beautiful reaction. ❤
They were considered poets and folk rock. Their hits list is endless. Some of the most genius music every written. Scarborough fair is another one I personally love. They truely shaped their generation.
Other great ones by Paul Simon are Me and Julio down by the Schoolyard, 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover, and the entire Graceland album. I can’t listen to Bridge Over Troubled WTer without breaking into tears. It’s so moving, For songs with both Simon and Art Garfunkel, also listen to El Condor Pasa.
Just audio is great. That's the way we heard all music back when this song was released in 1970. Before the 1980s, only very few songs were accompanied by videos and most of us never thought about videos or even knew that some songs had videos with them. We only heard these songs in audio/studio form on the radio. Videos can be distracting and even confusing.
Paul Simon has written and composed too many epic songs to list; including this one, which is one of the most covered of Paul`s songs from his amazing solo career and with Art Garfunkle. I`d go for the song America next but there are no real bummers in the Paul Simon songbook and that`s amazing for someone with such a long and prolific output.
Famous studio musician, Larry Knechtel should get equal credit for his inventive, incredible piano work. It really makes the song work. remember, no Paul Simon, with Art Garfunkel singing it no Elvis version. No S and G, no Elvis version. Or anyone else. THIS is the definitive version, you don't win five awards at the 13th Annual Grammy Awards in 1971, including Grammy Award for Record of the Year and Song of the Year, by handing it over to Elvis. Art Garfunkel nailed this forever as the best version...he gave a performance of a lifetime.
NOT Elvis' song but he happily covered it. Paul Simon wrote it and realized his pal Artie Garfunkel should sing it. Boy did he sing it. My all-time rear jerker.
Elvis did a version. It was written by Paul Simon. Art Garfunkel is doing the singing.... Simon is doing harmony. Elvis did a version but it's not S&G. They were the OG.
If you see an Elvis video, and it's not in black n white, he's probably singing other artist's hits. He didn't create many original songs after his comeback, which, I think, was 1968.
Just FYI, "Garfunkel" is a possibly anglicized version of an old German term, "Karfunkel(stein)" -- which means a sparkly gemstone. It's considered a Jewish name due to Jews often picking "fine-sounding" names when they were compelled to choose surnames like their Christian neighbors instead of going by the traditional Hebrew "Aaron, Son of ..." they were used to. That's how you got names like "Rosenberg" (mount of roses), "Goldstein" (golden stone) and others like it ... and they were soon regarded as "Jewish", even though they were just compounds of perfectly ordinary German words.
Yeah, Elvis was not really a song writer. He did a lot of covers, including a hackneyed version of this. Simon and Garfunkel did some covers when they started out as school kids but Paul Simon quickly developed into one of the most prolific song writers of our time. By the time this song came out Simon was already a seasoned pro on the level of Dylan an Lennon & McCartney.
This is their song. Simon wrote it. Garfunkels is singing it. Whitney has two really good duets of this song. One with Natalie Cole and the other with CeCe Winans. In both performances they take it to church. Between the two I prefer the one with Natalie Cole
The Elvis version was a copy and this is the original. The Elvis version cannot hold a candle to this fantastic song by Simon & Garfunkel. Their voices harmonize so well. The main part of the song was sung by Art Garfunkel who is the tall one and Paul Simon who wrote the song comes in towards the end where they sing 'Sail on Silver Girl'.
Well, if people think you talk too much they don't have to tune in, or they can turn you off early before they get annoyed. This is your channel dude. Talk all you want.
Not to tease you too much but I don’t think an artist would use a song title for their album if it was a cover 🤷♂️ Your smile through t made up for it lol 👍
Paul Simon wrote this song. Art Garfunkel is lead singer on it. It's their biggest hit and has been covered by many including Elvis.
No, Elvis covered this.
You're hearing the original recording by the artist who wrote it, Simon and Garfunkel ~❤
Their song. Written by Paul Simon and released in 1970.
Another signature song from Simon and Garfunkel is "Scarborough Fair" from 1966.
Paul Simon is a genius !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Original by Simon & Garfunkel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Elvis doesn't hold a candle to this, the original.
Elvis could only wish he could write like this.
Elvis wished he could write songs period! Elvis only wrote one song - great performer but not a writer of music!
You will find that Paul Simon sings lead (or both in harmony) on most of their songs, but on this one, it is Art Garfunkel. Art has the voice of an angel. This is why their harmonies are so good.
Art is the taller one.

One of the greatest songs ever written. Their catalog is phenomenal, hit after hit. Thanks for your reaction.
This is the ORIGINAL. Paul Simon wrote it. Enjoy.
Elvis was a cover, this is the original and the best! Written by a true poet, Paul Simon and mainly sung by Art Garfunkel, voice of an Angel.
This song and Sounds of Silence are the most iconic songs if S&G. They are timeless classics. Paul Simon is the songwriter. Here the angelic high tenor voice is Art Garfunkel. Then Paul came in. No, Elvis didn't write his songs. He did a cover of this song
Awesome, eh? Glad you chose the studio version ❤️

The line "if you need a friend, I'm sailing right behind" always gets me for some reason......
it is Art Garfunkel, the taller one, singing

Yes, many covered it, but none could top it. 💜💕💜💕💜💕
It's Paul Simons song!!!!
Everybody covered this classic!

Keep talking, Ace! I don't know what comments you're talking about, but you're you! If you wanna talk, then you talk, man. We love you!
Elvis did a cover of this song. It was written by Paul Simon.
It was written by Paul Simon.!
The original and the best. Paul Simon probably made more money from this one song than the majority of artists in their careers!
No it's Paul Simon's song. The main singer is Art Garfunkel. Elvis may have covered it but it's a Simon and Garfunkel song.
Paul Simon has written and composed too many epic songs to list; including this one, which is one of the most covered of Paul`s songs from his amazing solo career and with Art Garfunkle. I`d go for the song America next but there are no real bummers in the Paul Simon songbook and that`s amazing for someone with such a long and prolific output.
*THIS is the original. Covered by many people.*
Many folks have covered this song, Aretha, Elvis and others. Simon and Garfunkel ARE the song on every level.

music of my youth, thanks for the memory.
Mrs. Robinson is an iconic song. The Sound of Silence was their 2nd biggest hit.
NOT Elvis' song but he happily covered it. Paul Simon wrote it and realized his pal Artie Garfunkel should sing it. Boy did he sing it. My all-time rear jerker.
This is a song written by Paul Simon.
The live version of this, from their concert in Central Park, is INCREDIBLE!
This is perfection❤
Your young😊 we will get you up to speed; ask your audience anything. New subscriber 🤘❤️
for all the talent Elvis has, he doesnt come close to matching the OG version. He does it all wrong.
I disagree with "all wrong." This is flat out the best version and I was not expecting to like Elvis's cover, but to my surprise I did.
Elvis did a version. It was written by Paul Simon. Art Garfunkel is doing the singing.... Simon is doing harmony. Elvis did a version but it's not S&G. They were the OG.
Paul Simon wrote that song he is a great writesinger,
this is the original recording

Ha, you did it 🤗 Thank you ❤️
Don't you be sorry for reacting the way you do, your young and it is alot of fun watching someone enjoy the music I grew up with
No, Paul Simon wrote this for Art because he could hit the notes in that key..
yes, Elvis coverd this original
This is there song, Elvis covered it.
Yeah, Elvis was not really a song writer. He did a lot of covers, including a hackneyed version of this. Simon and Garfunkel did some covers when they started out as school kids but Paul Simon quickly developed into one of the most prolific song writers of our time. By the time this song came out Simon was already a seasoned pro on the level of Dylan an Lennon & McCartney.
This is their song. Simon wrote it. Garfunkels is singing it.
Whitney has two really good duets of this song. One with Natalie Cole and the other with CeCe Winans. In both performances they take it to church. Between the two I prefer the one with Natalie Cole
Isn’t it BB Winans? If you like gospel house music please listen to the Masters At Work remix of BB Winans ‘thank you’ it’s fabulous
It’s here on you tube btw
No CeCe at the 1995 VH1 Honors@@BlowinFree
Just had to google this! I’m Scottish and have never heard of CeCe before, apparently she’s BeBes little sister lol @@toriboy25
The Elvis version was a copy and this is the original. The Elvis version cannot hold a candle to this fantastic song by Simon & Garfunkel. Their voices harmonize so well. The main part of the song was sung by Art Garfunkel who is the tall one and Paul Simon who wrote the song comes in towards the end where they sing 'Sail on Silver Girl'.
You should react to Clay Aiken from American Idol version…..
This is their song not covered best one evrr
Sion and ar created the song most things that elvis sang it after steal it
Well, if people think you talk too much they don't have to tune in, or they can turn you off early before they get annoyed. This is your channel dude. Talk all you want.
No. It's siom
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
Not Elvis’ song. Simon wrote the song. Art is the singer that makes it beautiful. No covers can come close to this.
Elvis was the cover, they are the original. Now you might want to check out Aretha Franklin's cover of it.
Elvis doing a cover of Simon and Garfunkel is like Whiney Houston doing a cover of Dolly Parton. Good recording but doesnt make it their song.
No no no, this is not an Elvis song. This is a Simon and Garfunkel song. No one does it better in my opinion.
Not that hard to look up who did it first. Appreciate the reaction tho
Not to tease you too much but I don’t think an artist would use a song title for their album if it was a cover 🤷♂️
Your smile through t made up for it lol 👍
I hate it how culturally illiterate the last couple generations are. They don't even know these absolutely iconic songs and their artists.
l like better by elvis
