They have 7 Grammys, sold over 100 million records & are in the Rock and Roll hall of fame. They are both 83 years old now. They are legends, known for their harmony. When Disturb is long forgotten, these guys will still be one of the greatest duos in history.
Sorry brah, Disturbed has over 1billion views of their version. Simon and Garfunkle have 25million. It's safe to say, Simon and Garfunkle will be forgotten before Disturbed is. That said, there is no reason to sound bitter for the Disturbed version. Without Simon and Garfunkle, their version wouldn't exist. Why can't they both live together in harmony? The reality is that S&G version was the warning and Disturbed version is more like nobody listened. Disturb's version compliments S&G and there shouldn't be any competition between the two.
@@Latinomicz Free views is not the same as selling albums. While Disturbed is talented, Simon & Garfunkel will be played for decades while people have to look up Disturbed to answer a trivia question.
If you’re a Renaissance fair lover you must listen to their version of Scarborough Fair (Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme). Also classics are The Boxer and Mrs.Robinson.
Met Art Garfunkel in 1965 when I was around 10. Took guitar lessons with a my friend Lou Pearlman.His parents invited me over dinner & told me to bring my guitar. When I arrived Lou introduced me to his cousin Art. I had NO IDEA who he was. I believe they had recently released their first album. We played some guitar & he signed an autograph for me that I still have. Lou went on to form the Backstreet Boys and NSYNC.
"This just took me to the Renaissance festival." Funny you should mention that. They have their own version of Scarborough Fair, and it is beautiful. Another musical trip is their song A Hazy Shade of Winter, and then the cover version by The Bangles.
This is the original acoustic version that didn't go anywhere, so producers added a bass, drums and electric 12 string guitar to it and it went straight to number one on the Billboard Hot 100. Simon and Garfunkel you have obviously never heard, they are icons of music starting in 1965 but had been singing since they were kids, had a local hit called Hey School Girl when still in high school. They are in the Rock and Roll Hal of Fame. Paul Simon wrote the songs, both had solo careers after their official break up in 1970, and occasionally they would put on a concert for Charity. 10 years or so after they broke up, they held a free concert in Central Park in New York. They expected a crowd of about 20,000. Instead 500,000 people showed up. Their music and lyrics are taken very seriously by my boomer generation as meaningful comment on society's ills, life and other subjects. Famous songs are I am a Rock, America, The Boxer, Mrs. Robinson, Bridge Over Troubled Water, My Little Town, Kathy's Song, Cecelia, El cóndor pasa (If I Could), Scarboro Fair, The 59th Street Bridge Song [Feelin' Groovy], Homeward Bound, For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her, Old Friends /Bookends....
You can watch them do it live in Central Park in 1981 after about 10 years of not performing a full concert together. They have a good amount of popular songs
@@CharlesPhillips-no3sz I have, I still prefer Pentatonix. I think when people put them down it’s because they’re listening on their TV speakers, don’t do that, listen on a good speaker system or good headphones.
@@CharlesPhillips-no3sz Lol, you could have said all that in one sentence, “I prefer the original, IMO they’re the goat”… I however disagree and don’t dislike the original, I just prefer Pentatonix a lot more.
This is the original. Paul Simon wrote this song in 1963. Paul Simon said that Disturbed's version really conveyed the frustration and anger of people's inability to communicate properly
I believe this is the original acoustic version. The one that became a hit had bass, drums, etc added. Edit: I am blind, the next comment explains it perfectly.
I was a little kid when I was taken to see a Simon & Garfunkle concert. It was their reunion tour...maybe it was 1981? It was a sold out stadium. I think it was something like 70,000 people there. The stage was set up in the end-zone and we had a picnic at about the 20 yard line...Great view for the show until...near the end when everyone was standing. Growing up, I always liked their sprinkling of philosophy in their lyrics. They have a lot of big hit songs, but my favorite is a minor hit called El Condor Pasa.
Search for Sound of Silence in Central Park. They performed a free concert in Central Park, NY in 1991. A bit older than in the original version, but still a solid performance. I was fortunate enough to see them perform live in Pittsburgh, PA in 1983.
the original of this song played in the opening credit sequence to the 1967 film "the graduate." which also used their "mrs. robinson" as a main theme. my other simon and garfunkle favorites are "scarborough fair" and "cecilia." garfunkle appeared in a couple of great films co-starring with Jack Nicholson in "carnal knowledge" (1971) and the classic "carch-22" (1970) with its great ensemble cast.
4:53 Here's the special thing about art... you don't have to choose a favorite or least favorite. You can love what you love without ranking them. Music, Movies, Books, TV Shows, Architecture, Sculptures... all of these things coexist. Having one does not diminish the others, and vice versa. I know its popular with modern internet click-bait, but don't feel obligated to rank things you enjoy. It can all just be "your jam." 😁 I can't tell you how many times I'll be at a restaurant, or a doctor's office, or a grocery store and a song comes over the radio and I say, out loud, "That's my jam!!"
Important reminder: you won’t find official music videos for songs until the late 70’s, early 80’s. So you don’t end up looking for a music video from a 60’s song endlessly.
Maybe not a music video like you’d find today but there are recorded performances such as clips from movies (Jailhouse Rock) or live performances like The Beatles on Ed Sullivan.
@@Darkstar72SR yeah those are great. And there were fans stitching them together with the recorded track to make “unofficial music videos” well before record labels caught on to the marketing aspect of them
There are live versions of them performing this song that can be found on YT. Pentatonix also did a nice version of this song not too long ago. You may also want to check out Scarborough Affair.
Great song from Simon and Garfunkel. One of the very best among many. Mrs. Robinson, Bridge Over Troubled Water, Cecelia, I am a Rock, Scarborough Fair, Homeward Bound, The Boxer, America (Kathy's Song), El Condor Pasa (If I Could).
I don't think there was an official video, since it was before MTV; however, you should check out the live version from the Concert in Central Park. It was a free concert the duo performed and attended by 100,000+ people. The whole concert is awesome!
Paul Simon wrote this song! Many other people have done a cover version, but NONE as well as the original. This was released in the early 60's when videos were not coupled with songs. If you want to see them perform this song and many others I suggest you watch "The Concert in Central Park". This song was also featured in the legendary movie "The Graduate".
Paul Simon is one of the greatest American songwriters. You can't study American music and not study Paul Simon. He and Art Garfunkle made a formidable folk duo in the '60s and '70s. Garfunkle sings the high harmonies, Simon plays guitar, writes the songs, and sings the lower harmony. Yes, their version of The Sound of Silence is much faster than Disturbed's cover, but they were going for different feels. A common description of the difference between the 2 versions is that the original is a warning, and Disturbed's cover represents anger that the warning wasn't heeded.
There is a Simon and Garfunkel version with drums as well. Also you’re enjoying their two voices together is called a harmony, vocal harmony. You harmonize voices as well as instruments. Slow to fast, loud and soft are dynamics or Ebb and flow
Paul Simon wrote it, does harmony, and Art Garfunkel is the lead. Paul is shorter one, Art had the curly hair. Paul Simon is an incredible song writer. If you like Ren Fairs, they did famous version of "Scarborough Fair" it's roots is from a an english folk song. Paul Simon wrote and they did "Bridge Over Troubled Waters", one of most beautiful songs ever.
Yes it's the correct song & the Original 👍 know as one of the best folk songs Group !!! Yes they also sing ( Scarborough Fair ) their Harmony was excellent even if they Didn't care for each other 😮😮😮 Yet if you enjoy folk lyric songs I will list you more 🎶 1) Bobbie Gentry ( Ode to Billy Joe ) 2) John Denver ( Annie's Song ) 3) Bread ( Diary ) 4 ) Skeeter Davis ( End of the World ) 5) Etta James ( At Last ) Bonus : The Carpenters ( Top of the World ) As you have Heard the difference of the songs it's interpretation
What you need to understand, is this was released in 1964; the 60's were primarily the 'pop era' for music. There are many older songs, that decades later were revamped. One of Australia's great singer-songwriters, Kasey Chambers reworked Eminem's rap song Lose Yourself; in Kasey's situation, she actually slowed the song down to a country/folk rock ballad. Another great Australian artist, John Farnham took The Beatles classic song Help; and turned a pop song from 1965, turning it into a rock ballad with the backing of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. I would recommend you react to these artists, you won't be disappointed.
This is definitely my favorite, everyone has different likes. They are one of the greatest duos ever. Paul Simon wrote this spectacular song. Many very good songs in their catalog. This is one of the greatest songs ever recorded and timeless. Best of success with yr channel
Hello dear lady Mia from the UK. I grew up with Simon and Garfunkel and when you mentioned that you enjoy a renaissance fair, we don’t really have those here as I’m surrounded by 800 year old castles which is just normal 😊 I thought you might like to react to Simon and Garfunkel singing ‘Are you going to Scarborough fare’ which is a medieval folk song they famously revived and it is like being taken back 800 years 😊 thanks for the videos x
Mia, Simon and Garfunkel were the original artists of this masterpiece who wrote and recorded it in 1964. This is just one of very many classics they created during their careers. You might try "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" or "The Boxer" by them on your next reaction. Very nice reaction, and i know you must hear this all the time, you are quite pleasant to watch and listen to on your reactions! 👏👏👏👏👏
Draiman's (Disturbed) version is more powerful, yet Simon & Garfunkel's version, in it's day, killed it!! This song is representative of the lack of communication in society at large, both then and now. A disconnect, so to speak It's kinda like screaming into the void. Nobody but you----hears you. Can't choose between the two, Mia. Both great! Thank you for posting.
Simon and Garfunkel you have to react to "Mrs. Robinson"...PLEASE! Btw...Simon is Paul Simon, he is a brilliant singer/songwriter another one you can react to by him is "Diamonds On the Soles of Her Shoes"
If you want to see them actually perform it. You should watch the live performance from Madison square garden during the rock and roll all the fame 25th anniversary. Or from the free concert in Central Park in 1981. Both are just amazing.
Pure acoustic. This is the most original recording. It was released on S&G's album "Wednesday Morning, 3AM." Later, around 1965, Columbia Records added "Rock" instruments to this recording and re-released it, without S&G's permission. Still later, S&G recorded a new pure acoustic version, for the movie "The Graduate." That's almost like this version, but the harmonies are slightly different. And then, of course, there are vids of several of their live performances of the song. All versions are pretty much the same speed. That's how they did it.
I liked this version so much more than the cover by Disturbed. I didn't think Disturbs vocals really fit well with it as much as Simon and Garfunkels did.
Simon and Garfunkel warned us of what would happen if we did not listen to each other. Disturbed shows us what happened because we did not listen. By the way, Simon and Garfunkel actually congratulated Disturbed on their version.
I like both versions of the song, having grown up listening to Simon & Garfunkle when I heard Disturbed version I really liked the power they put into it. So don't stop with this song by S & G, they have many great songs out there to hear.
I know I've seen comments about Disturbed's version, but you have to thank them for opening her ears to Simon and Garfunkle. That, in itself, is a positive.
Paul Simon wrote this and many other timeless songs. Listen to Bridge Over Troubled Water and The Boxer. Both are very popular. He was as much a poet as a song wrier.
Wonderful reaction! This one is my favorite but you definitely need to check out "Penteonix" (they are a acapella band). version of this song, it's definitely worth listening to their version!! Again loved the reaction and all your reactions!! Have a great night! 😊
Art Garfunkel was hitting the higher notes; Paul Simon (the composer of the song) was the lower, softer voice. And I would give Paul Simon credit for knowing how to sing the song he wrote...
“This group or this band or whatever they are”??? Show respect to the legendary Simon and Garfunkel. As great as Disturb’s version is they wouldn’t have anything to sing if S & G didn’t write that fabulous song!
As you can see from the comments, Paul Simon wrote this song way back in the 60's, they didn't make music videos back then ( at least not very often ). There's another version of this with drums, which I think is better. On a side note, a little bit of trivia that only Rush fans would know, drummer Neil Peart who writes the lyrics, did a play on the last verse of this song in their song The spirit of radio, in which he wrote : for the words of the profits ( prophets ) are written on the studio wall, concert hall, and echoes with the sounds of salesmen !
If you like how Simon & Garfunkle harmonize their voice, then you have to listen to The Beach Boys. Listen to God Only Knows, Wouldn't Be Nice, Good Vibrations, and Little Deuce Coupe...They are THE BEST at harmonizing their voices.
You're definitely in for a treat going down that path. They so helped to define my generation. Many a morning did I, as a youngster, wake up to their wonderful vibes. If you love their harmony, consider giving "The Association" a listen. You won't be disappointed in them either. Great reaction, BTW!

Amen to that last sentence!!! She'll discover that if she keeps on listening to S and G.

They were the originals no auto tune just talent
If you’re a Renaissance fair lover you must listen to their version of Scarborough Fair (Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme). Also classics are The Boxer and Mrs.Robinson.
It's called 'Scarborough Fair/Canticle' and it's an original that incorporates the traditional song.
More from Simon & Garfunkel: Bridge over troubled water, The boxer, Cecilia, Mrs Robinson, El condor pasa
"he was my brother" gets me in the heart every time. Rest in Power all the martyrs and saints who died for freedom and justice.
You meant to put El Condor Pasa first.
Easy mistake
Hazy Shade of Winter.
This was one of the most iconic songs of the folk era of the 1960's. Remember, music videos didn't become a thing about 1980.
I've heard that the show "Elephant Parts", Michael Nesmith 1981, is credited with starting the whole "music video" thing. Good show in any event.
Even Disturbed wouldn’t put themselves in the same category as Simon and Garfunkel 🤣
I can't listen to Disturbed. Just wrong
@@devonvergiels5185yeh, it’s almost a novelty cover afaic.
This is a timeless classic of music. Paul Simon is a genius songwriter, and Art Garfunkle has the voice of an angel. A perfect combination.
Great reaction! The song was written by Paul Simon, the Simon in Simon and Garfunkel

Richard Corey, A Most Peculiar Man, The Dangling Conversation
Good catch. I hadn't even noticed that this was the accoustic version, not the version that went to #1 in 1965.
You do not have to choose .It's a great song that was released by Simon and Garfunkel on Oct 1964 that's 60 years ago .
And here we are listening to it. You think Disturbed's version will be heard in 60 years? 5?
Their song , bridge over trouble waters, is life changing. Top 5 song all time
You can watch them do it live in Central Park in 1981 after about 10 years of not performing a full concert together. They have a good amount of popular songs
You're listening to the original. This is your favorite version trust me.
Can't listen to this version.
This is the version you hear. The Disturbed version is the one you feel.
@@feardabrood I suppose
Wholeheartedly agreed. I can't stand Disturbed's cover. Also, David did that by himself. Bit mistake. It's written as a duet!
Ppppffffttt
Paul Simon is an amazing singer and songwriter. Art Garfunkle was there, too.
Art Garfunkel was better singer . Paul Simon even said that.
Nonsensical diss to Art Garfunkle.
I like Disturbed a lot. But I have to give to Simon & Garfunkel as the originators.
I’d have to go with the acapela group Pentatonix for this song.
@@CharlesPhillips-no3sz I have, I still prefer Pentatonix. I think when people put them down it’s because they’re listening on their TV speakers, don’t do that, listen on a good speaker system or good headphones.
@@CharlesPhillips-no3sz Lol, you could have said all that in one sentence, “I prefer the original, IMO they’re the goat”… I however disagree and don’t dislike the original, I just prefer Pentatonix a lot more.

As mentioned, Scarborough Fair will give you the Renaissance vibe you mentioned

Growing up, I always liked their sprinkling of philosophy in their lyrics. They have a lot of big hit songs, but my favorite is a minor hit called El Condor Pasa.
This is natural talent, no electronic or voice trickery. A guitar and 2 men, the ones who wrote and performed it.
Just hit 59, this song still gives me chills. So glad listened.😊
Simon & Garfunkel was the first concert I ever saw (in 1967). They have many huge songs. I prefer this version for sure.
Scarborough Fair and Mrs. Robinson by them are good too. By far their best.
Simon and Garfunkel- Central Park concert.
Renfaires are awesome. Simon and Garfunkel's "Scarborough Fair" reminds me of them.
Yes they are, I had plenty of great times at Renn Fairs!
Search for Sound of Silence in Central Park. They performed a free concert in Central Park, NY in 1991. A bit older than in the original version, but still a solid performance. I was fortunate enough to see them perform live in Pittsburgh, PA in 1983.
This reminds me of of dad.
He always had to point out a recreation. Lol.
There song
Crimson and clover ❤❤❤
My dad's favorite

Simon and Garfunkel are living legends. About as well known as the Beatles or Rolling Stones.
Bridge over troubled water would be your next Simon and Garfunkel song to listen to. It’s probably their most famous one.

Your so wrong. It's not a cover. PTX did an upgrade.. hehe :)
My mom used to play this when it first came out i remember her listening to it
They sing great harmonies together and have a LOT of great songs. Listen to Bridge Over Troubled Water next.
Completely okay to love both versions equally
I always search for : Simon & Garfunkel Demos. Meaning the artist was still putting the song together.
I like both versions for different reasons. As for this group, their song Mrs Robinson is just fun
You need to watch them do this song live from Central Park. It's a game changer.
I don't think there was an official video, since it was before MTV; however, you should check out the live version from the Concert in Central Park. It was a free concert the duo performed and attended by 100,000+ people. The whole concert is awesome!
The concert for NY is a great performance. Paul Simon wrote it.
You really need to listen to bridge over troubled water.
It's a musical masterpiece!
As many people have said, the Simon and Garfunkel version was a warning; the Disturbed version was anger that we did not heed the warning.
Those 2 together are tremendous !
These guys write all their own songs and have many more songs !
Simon & Garfunkel's version called for awareness, Disturbed's version made it a call of alarm.
Also short but sweet - April Come She Will

It was guitar with a capo . Paul Simon plays mostly with a capo .

Johnny Cash/Hurt (Cover)
Simon and Garfunkel you have to react to "Mrs. Robinson"...PLEASE! Btw...Simon is Paul Simon, he is a brilliant singer/songwriter another one you can react to by him is "Diamonds On the Soles of Her Shoes"
If you want to see them actually perform it. You should watch the live performance from Madison square garden during the rock and roll all the fame 25th anniversary. Or from the free concert in Central Park in 1981. Both are just amazing.
You can't go wrong by listening to anything done by Simon and Garfunkel. This was written by Paul Simon.
Pure acoustic. This is the most original recording. It was released on S&G's album "Wednesday Morning, 3AM." Later, around 1965, Columbia Records added "Rock" instruments to this recording and re-released it, without S&G's permission. Still later, S&G recorded a new pure acoustic version, for the movie "The Graduate." That's almost like this version, but the harmonies are slightly different. And then, of course, there are vids of several of their live performances of the song. All versions are pretty much the same speed. That's how they did it.
I liked this version so much more than the cover by Disturbed. I didn't think Disturbs vocals really fit well with it as much as Simon and Garfunkels did.
Simon and Garfunkel warned us of what would happen if we did not listen to each other.
Disturbed shows us what happened because we did not listen.
By the way, Simon and Garfunkel actually congratulated Disturbed on their version.
I like both versions of the song, having grown up listening to Simon & Garfunkle when I heard Disturbed version I really liked the power they put into it. So don't stop with this song by S & G, they have many great songs out there to hear.
I know I've seen comments about Disturbed's version, but you have to thank them for opening her ears to Simon and Garfunkle. That, in itself, is a positive.
Paul Simon wrote this and many other timeless songs. Listen to Bridge Over Troubled Water and The Boxer. Both are very popular. He was as much a poet as a song wrier.
Their album 'Wednesday morning 3am' is super good 👌
Wonderful reaction! This one is my favorite but you definitely need to check out "Penteonix" (they are a acapella band). version of this song, it's definitely worth listening to their version!! Again loved the reaction and all your reactions!! Have a great night! 😊
Art Garfunkel was hitting the higher notes; Paul Simon (the composer of the song) was the lower, softer voice.
And I would give Paul Simon credit for knowing how to sing the song he wrote...
So who can honestly admit they are not here for the reaction? I do.
“This group or this band or whatever they are”??? Show respect to the legendary Simon and Garfunkel. As great as Disturb’s version is they wouldn’t have anything to sing if S & G didn’t write that fabulous song!
THIS is the original. They wrote and first performed the song. THIS beats anything rated with a chef's kiss.
As you can see from the comments, Paul Simon wrote this song way back in the 60's, they didn't make music videos back then ( at least not very often ). There's another version of this with drums, which I think is better. On a side note, a little bit of trivia that only Rush fans would know, drummer Neil Peart who writes the lyrics, did a play on the last verse of this song in their song The spirit of radio, in which he wrote : for the words of the profits ( prophets ) are written on the studio wall, concert hall, and echoes with the sounds of salesmen !
A comedian named Tim Hawkins did a parody of the Disturbed version of this song called "The Sounds of Starbucks."
A big hit for Simon and Garfunkel was Bridge Over Troubled Waters
If you like how Simon & Garfunkle harmonize their voice, then you have to listen to The Beach Boys. Listen to God Only Knows, Wouldn't Be Nice, Good Vibrations, and Little Deuce Coupe...They are THE BEST at harmonizing their voices.
Watch them live at the concert in Central Park… round 1980.
beautiful song,,, nice reaction, thank you.....
You're definitely in for a treat going down that path. They so helped to define my generation. Many a morning did I, as a youngster, wake up to their wonderful vibes. If you love their harmony, consider giving "The Association" a listen. You won't be disappointed in them either. Great reaction, BTW!
There were two things I really luved about this review!! 🥰
