amen! God bless you Paul Simon.

Paul, you're so handsome !!

The Dixie Hummingbirds were the gospel group that sang on Loves Me Like A Rock. However, Claude Jeter was a member of the Hummingbirds before he formed the Swan Silvertones. So when the interviewer made the mistake, it really wasn't much of a stretch to assume Jeter sang on Loves Me Like A Rock as that was the gospel-tinged song on the album. And Jeter had been with the Hummingbirds. No biggie.

looooool "you don't look like a major swansilvertones fan" so subtley funny. he is so lovelyxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[GirMcDog]

This is during Paul Simon's 'Perry Como' phase when Garry Lewis would often do interviews in his place.

[simonpaul3]

Paul is a Man. I love him.

[KillMeNow1990]

Paul, you are awesome.

[francescaloves2hike]

I'm SURE that guy is a "big fan of black gospel"...

[erlejo0610]

I love him

[MargotVoguey]

Aww Paul! He's so sweet and polite.

[selitza]

aaaaw his is sooooo sweet

[mcouzijn]

Oooh... how Paul despises the interviewer's sly tricks 'I remember how ... (nonsense)' nad 'he was in 'my favorite' group'... And how Paul makes minced meat of these vain statements. Way to go, Paul!

[youvebeenthunderstru]

He doesn't make minced meat of the statements? Maybe you're watching the wrong video clip?

[mcouzijn]

We're both probably watching one and the same clip. And yes, Paul makes minced meat of those vain statements. Did I write anything else?

[youvebeenthunderstru]

I don't see him being pissed off with the host.

[mcouzijn]

It is open to interpretation, but to me it is obvious that Paul dislikes the guy and does not believe a single word of the presenter's statements as to "The Swan Silvertones being his favorite group" and "I remember using Rev. Claude Jeter on (blah blah)". The presenter was badly prepared, had his facts wrong, and nevertheless wanted to show off as a knowledgeable guy. Kudos to Paul for praising him politely all the way into the grave.

[youvebeenthunderstru]

Well, he offered a correction as to what song Jeter played on, and from my point of view that was it. He seems genuinely pleased that the interviewer knows the gospel group.

[mcouzijn]

Let's agree to disagree then. In my view you are being naive, while probably in your view I am exaggerating.

[beatlesgirl89]

I totally agree with you, hoob88!

[hoob88]

ooh paul is so cute !

[TheBobcatChannel]

i totally agree with you!

[hfrankien]

i completely agree, both paul simon and art garfunkel have an innocence about them:they are just musicians and not affected, like so many others, by the media. They could easily be your next door neighbours and yet they are so unbelievably talented

[desertbee]

Interesting clip! What year is this from?

[midhrifs]

The clip is from the mid-80s. He was promoting the release of the 'Hearts & Bones' album. The interview concluded with a showing of the 'Rene Magritte' music video. I'll try to upload that soon.

@desertbee paul simon TOO should not presume
