[aknowneemus]

my momma love me like a freakin boulder! believe it.

[kja427]

I'm not sure my momma loved me like a rock; She's never given me an unconditional blessing with no strings attached. That's pathetic! Moms, tell your boys you love them like a rock, and mean it! It will make a difference in your son's life. Believeth thou it!

[Elizabomb]

i love this man!

[jaapinhollanding]

He looks like a weirdo.... but this song! :D WOW!

[Libertarian369]

Paul Simon= Masterful musician!

[jasper16317]

She loves me,loves me like a rock!

[tui198]

our party song from way back.....still sing it to our young ones and they get right into it

[eaglerare22]

Great backup vocals. I love this song.

[1funkyangel]

Paul is underated as a folk guitarist. the chord structure to "50 ways 2 leave ur lover " is so complex, it's not funny.

[RENEEVEE133]

This song is so great - all of the version on youtube. All the people in this video are adorable!

[TodaywithRuthie]

i always liked Paul Simmon

@RuthieAppleby

[degree7]

That's one bad haircut that ol' Paul is sporting there.

[vderouin]

Great song!

[dretyn123]

Love me like a rock? Paul Simon you devil.

[thumbs70]

Love this loads, it's an overlooked tune - no doubt. That middle femail backing singer has a weird hand clap though, doesn't she? Whoops, sorry for that personal and banal comment- the internet has a dreadful influence on ordinarily rational people. Seriously though, if you've stumbled across this, check out the album

[FatTomHenry8]

this guitar Paul Simon was played, was it from Yamaha?

[JANXDPDX]

Dixie Hummingbirds?

[Peacebabe2009]

Never realized how musically gifted Paul was and still is until I watched him perform on a TV special....he's awesome......I love his music

[nothinglikeafender]

excellent comment

[Birkcenter78]

Wow what a inspiring song

[dragontailjunkie]

sing on wc johnny,I still do while riding across this great land.

[ZXLNT]

Oh yell yeah, this is great!!!

[dragontailjunkie]

When this song came out the 750 Hondas,BSA's and Triumphs were breezing along the highways.When it played on the radio or jukeboxs I told my riding buddies it was 100 mph music-let's go.

[JohnnyWtF92]

@dragontailjunkie my grandpa introduced me to this song when i was a little kid. We used to listen to it all the time in his triumph :)

[wcjohnny]

Amazing , I did the four corners ( N. American round trip ) and sang this tune to myself alot ,while bombing down the highway, back in 82.

[mkl62]

On one of his talk-shows, Mark Christopher was talking about the music scene in 1973. He said that it was a down year as far as quality went. In other words, a lot of the songs were wimpy. Agree or disagree. Feel free to reply.

[CrabNebola]

Tommy Tedesco?

[ediself]

love how time passes and the women of his life still go down on their knees to hug him xD 2 different jokes in it lol

[CadreauSam]

Love it!!!

[jlion31685]

Im on the presidential pooooooodium Love it

[taffyland1]

its way 2 fast!  i like it slower

[jlion31685]

i disagree respectfully its gotta good beat

[taffyland1]

ya, thats true...

looking back at it now it's pretty good actually.

[dieselson77]

Who do you think your fooling?

[ITucker29]

Sounds better with the dixie hummingbirds

[R42464]

I agree with you !The Dixie Hummingbirds version sound much better no disrespect to the other group. Growing up in Philly I always love the distinct sounds of the Birds

[Pappahobo]

Is it Toots Thielemans on guitar???

[johnbucio]

Wow good to see rarities like this.

[drfever63]

That version with the Persuasions HAD to have sounded awesome! This is great song & the Persuasions are a great group (I LOVE a capella), & that had to sound cool with Jimmy Hayes laying down the bass vocals! Is there a vid or a copy of that somewhere by chance? I would love to hear it.

[julie713]

The best version is Jerry Lawson on lead with The Persuasions - Simon had The Persuasions perform this with him on Saturday Night LIve

[tcappels]

Hi Julie - I know ther Persuasions sang  Slip Sliding Away with Paul Simon on SNL. The Persuasions with Jerry Lawson are the BEST!!!

[TEQTONYK]

Paul Simon has always had the voice of a true folk artist. Whether he's just talking or singing, it's sooo calming & comfortable to hear.

[dosinfartos]

@TEQTONYK

fail, it isnt folk

it is country xD

[TEQTONYK]

@dosinfartos

Fail, it isn't country.

It is contemporary American Folk music. Do some research on Paul Simon & do some research on what Country music actually is.

[seashells616]

@TEQTONYK Technically it's gospel..

[sacredstrings]

Nice piece, I really enjoy it.

[R42464]

No offense..the backround vocals sound good..but not like the Dixiehummingbirds backing Paul Simon

[MaGwinyi]

The man in the backing vocals - is that Jessey Dixon?

[deathdood]

Apparently so.

[niagrawater]

Paul said this song is about Nixon, and how he could do whatever he wanted because his mother loved him.

[mytheropy]

Jessie sang with my cousins in chicago.

[coananthecustodian]

this song has to be about my dear sweet mother

[xxready2diexx]

A Gospel version ?! Who woulda' thought ?

[NaZirCon]

This is incredible...

Steve Gadd, Dave Sanborn, Richard Tee, Toots Thielemans...

Simply stellar!

[sacredstrings]

I love this song. God bless

[hirdy6]

Great sound thanks for sharing it!!!!

[Sanden1989]

what a song, i love it

[TheBobcatChannel]

Whoa! This is NICE! Paul Simon is a f-in legend!
