Simon & Garfunkel - I Am A Rock (RARE 1966 color clip)

[lancetop]

In the 60s when you turned on the radio, it was common to hear lyrics and music of this quality.

[SandGandBandD]

Art Garfunkels even taller than Paul when he's sitting on that stool

[koliko987]

@guystoners whats that supposed to mean?

[wattever333]

paul simon was a mini hunk!! tight solid body, nice lips, square jaw... nice.

art was wispy.

[rubyred0039]

@wattever333 I concur. Too bad he's also 5 feet tall...

[wattever333]

@rubyred0039 mini hunk is better than no hunk.

[heyfuzzycub]

@rubyred0039 5'3 I believe...

[rubyred0039]

@heyfuzzycub haha, touche! still "short"

[heyfuzzycub]

@wattever333 I agree, I think Garfunkel looks like an albino monkey with a mad scientist wig

[FunnyHaHaFunnyHaHa]

Mr G's got some great hair too!

[MrMikeb1958]

3 people are rocks.

[arpionatore]

Handsomes,especially Art Garfunkel.Musically,exceptiona­l singers.

[luki49734]

I think this was recorded in the toilett

[IrisMG]

I want Paul Simon to make a guitar instruction video. I love his style. I wish folk music was back.

[xeCh0x]

@IrisMG But it is, sorta. Just not in the mainstream.

[IrisMG]

@xeCh0x Thanks.

[mrsinkie21]

Xcellent

[CasaMcKansy]

Epic...

[mymytheysigh]

The color in this does look weird, but I'm not sure if it's just a bad picture or what. For some reason it really cracks me up whenever Artie stares right in to the camera on these old vids.

[alexaadap]

rare... thanx

[LakeDownz]

[marshmallow661]

I love Simon and Garfunkel! Weirdly enough, my religian teacher played it for my class, and thats when I heard of them! Loved the ever since!

[72chilled]

[Xenooo2k]

[123CHEGOUAMINHAVEZ]

Quien pensa que rock es cosa del diablo, debe escuchar Simon y Garfunkel, que así, cambiará de opinión.

[hapargornis]

This Video is S-Spline processed

[HuasoPodrido]

They have Art on a chair to keep him at Paul's height!

[123CHEGOUAMINHAVEZ]

Dúo maravilloso, DIOS los bendiga, ! que voces tan dulces y que tan bien hacen para la alma ! Soy un gran apasionado por las canciones de Simon y Garfunkel.

[zijnemajesteit]

I think this was recorded in B/W and later coloured by the computer.

[SixtiesPopGold2]

@zijnemajesteit Well, it was broadcasted in color the first time (from 1966).

[sixtieskid062]

@SixtiesPopGold2

They did appear on "The Ed Sullivan Show" in 1966. This might be that appearance.

[newry123]

@SixtiesPopGold2 i was only 1 in 1966 ,i,m now 46 at 3.30 am in the morning listening to this and other sim. &gr. songs after a brave few beers ,brilliant song

[Nostalgico80]

@zijnemajesteit No, it's original NTSC, as you can see from bad chromation :P .

[killer6661310]

how old is this song?

[SixtiesPopGold2]

@killer6661310 45 years old.

[TaaastyBurger]

@killer6661310 i'll reveal the secret. 2011-1966 = 45 years.

[walter4092]

@TaaastyBurger sorry the performing could be happen in 66 but the song was in the charts in 1965

[walter4092]

@killer6661310 from 1965

[heartofzorro]

Fabulous

[capecodpharmacist]

Was there a live band there accompanying them? Because Simon looks agitated, and he keeps kind of stomping his foot and waving his guitar. Seems like he's trying to send signals to the conductor to keep with HIS beat. They usually sing it pretty darn slow.

[simstephen]

@capecodpharmacist I doubt it. things were often lip synced on programs like this in this era. I think Paul was just going for "emotive."

[Substitute421]

What a goofy pair! I love this song, and Simon and Garfunkel. I listen to them whenever I need to hear something calming....ahhhhhhhh

[faaronshreman]

What did Art do to his hair? I hardly recognized him! Fine youthful version of this song.

[RebeckaSarkozy]

What incredible talent! Thanks for posting this! :-))

[moorlock2003]

The Hollies' version, on their "Bus Stop" LP, beats this one by a mile.

[dosomethin888]

0:41 gave me the willies!!!!!!

[katewinslet1912]
