I was born in 1977 and grew up with that wonderful music, because my parents heard it very often. Now it helps me getting through the illness of my Father, hoping he gets some more years.
@busterateit My father has a 3way Heart-Bypass, one isn´t working, so he has got 2 left, an they aren´t working as they should. More Medication is the result, and that´s why me and my family hope that he has got a chance to get some more years to see his two grand-children grow up. He´s only 62 and still working. He always worked for his familiy, he´s my personal Hero.
@poundandeliot Garfunkel has been suffering from vocal paresis for the last year, which has severely limited his performances. Such a shame for something like that to happen to a man that has one of the most beautiful voices in the world.
my name is emily :3 simon and garfunkel are my favorite. i saw them for my 11th birthday, i think at the honda center in 2003..and i will never forget it. :]
@cearbhaill He still is beautiful - have you seen the documentary made for the 40th anniversary of "Bridge Over Troubled Water"? It was made not that long ago - the documentary, that is. His voice is deeper now, too...
@ellennyc1 I have seen that documentary. It also has a stunning performance of "For Emily whenever i may find her" in 1969. I prefer his young voice though...
Paul's mystic poetic lyrics along with his instrumental playing,those two things mixed with Art's captivating eerie voice just simply creates a wonderful song.
This is one of the best love song Paul has ever written, besides "Kathy's song". Pure and heartfelt. Artie's voice is very beautiful here, the best version of "For Emily whenever i may find her"!!!
@Microglia1 Just saw your comment of a month ago here. It's beautiful and profound. That's part of S&G's charm: whenever something is lost, it creates an opening for a new adventure, a new love.
@faaronshreman I read somewhere that music is understood only on level of emotion. That is, you can't rationalize a good song, nor really dislike a bad song, for it could be another person's favorite. For me, the litmus test is how many times I can listen to a song and get a new feeling every time. This is one of those songs. I don't really know the intent of the song writer, but for me this song describes my 2nd grade crush, my high school sweetheart, & girl in white skirt I saw on th train.
@Microglia1 For song history, check out the German lieder composers Schubert, Brahms. Hugo Wolf and Mahler. That will free you up from a devotion to low--brain lyrics. In this era, we are hung-up on songs that evoke familiar sentiments. Those masters of song relied on contemporary (or earlier) poets, such as Goethe, Schiller etc., & introduced you to songs and lyrics of great mastery. No matter how good it is, pop stuff doesn't reach that level of profundity. I'm sure S&G would agree.
@spiltsoymilk The audio quality is a lot better than todays monotone compressed crap.It captures the essence of the performance and hall wher it was filmed.Shame for you!
I remember seeing this on television when this was first televised in late '67. I don't recall what show it was on though. This is the first time I've seen it since then. Thank you for uploading this. Last year of high school, etc. many memories!
There is magic in what Simon & Garfunkel did together. We listened to them frequently in the 60's and 70's, and I'm grateful to be able to see these videos. Not only were they handsome -- yes, Simon in the early years was handsome -- and had great voices (and that guitar!) but they brought a presence to the stage when they performed, as fine actors do.

I would like to dedicate this to a friend I used to work with in Huntington IN named Kenny Conway. He and I went out for a beer one night and he told me he liked this song. He knew how to make us all laugh at work. He was killed at work unfortunately, just a really cool guy.
Great "live", more than you can say for most bands on the tube ; )..SNG, the REM of their day, only better, dominated college radio also twenty years earlier.
Kinda cool how Art Garfunkel can make his voice sound so pure, ya know smooth like water going thru a stream bed with no rocks or barriers to impede its flow.
This is my favorite solo by Art. I can't believe the emotion and soul he puts into every word. Kathy's song live by Paul is my favorite by him. My favs as a duo are the boxer, Sounds of Silence, I am a rock, Patterns, Dangling Conversation, at the zoo, etc.etc.etc. I'm 54 and have been listening to them since the mid 60's.
555sss i'm 32 and been listening to simon and garfunkel since i was 8 :) I thank my parents for it :) I listen to radio now all i see is darkness ! If i had a wish, is get me back to MY youth :*)
Okay, I can honestly say that I am a "manly man" and this song gets me choked up. The sound of his voice and the words are pretty affecting. I'm not even sure if affecting is the proper word to use here.
Even though the sound quality is poor, look how much views this has, en look at the reactions... says enough about the song, the performance and above all, the talent of these two men that have taken me to the heaven of music...
They were sent by god. I fall in love with everything around me every time i listen to them. There's "someting" in their music that i can not explain... and maybe i'll never will.
me and my love cried on the phone last night, listening to this song while we were talking.. 1.170 miles away from each other...well... I believe this is magic.
@anxresi That's because, sadly, Emily is jut a belief, as Art has said before. When I listened to this song, I always closed my eyes and pictured the dream, wandering down empty streets, "Emily" running to you, holding hands and walking through fields of juniper and lamplight and then picture waking up and she's right there and then just crying with joy, but now that I know she's not real, it almost makes me sad that that feeling is just a wish.
first became aware of S&G early to mid 60's when i was about 8/10 years old, they are solely responsible for making me appreciate good music, music that comes from deep within, I still well up when I hear them. And i refuse to pick a favourite track, just listen to any of their songs, blessed...
@Doud92 that's touching. I always thought Art's voice sounded like it came from angels, or fairies, or some magical, pure place. maybe heaven. This song could be called "song of innocence." because it represents true love.
@WildAlaskanBlossom Have just given you a thumb's up. Paul said once that the angel's sang at Garfunkel's bar mitzva. That said, I think that romantic love is an illusion.
@Doud92 DONT SPEAK ENGLISH BUT TWO MEN SON UNOS ANGELS DE TRUE I BELIEVE SOBREPASAN LO NORMAL DIOS LOS BENDIGA DONDE ESTEN POR ESTOS REGALOS QUE NOS DIERON
@Zazalooch Thanks for answering/commenting. There is just something magical ab/ those two. They've had their ups and down with each other. But now I think they've come to appreciate each other the last few years. Such originality in words, melody, delivery. And of course the 'ambience'.
It baffles me how Art and Paul's guitar can overlap so perfectly. It's as close to a perfect song as you're ever going to get. I'll never go tired of this, it's just a shame that the recording equipment wasn't of a higher standard.
this is the best forum where elders and seniors can share memories and stories. I believe that this is the best [place where aged people could best express and share,why not a youtube senior share net.
One of the most beautiful love songs ever written and beautifully sung, preserving all the moments of young love forever, to remind us of what love is and still can be, as we get older. Many thanks to these two great artists. - salparadise
@charmingasalways Assuming this was after November of '68, they were both 27 years old...Paul's birthday is Oct. 13 1941 and Arty is less than a month younger, born Nov. 5...At least, that's what Wikipedia has them at...lol
@charmingasalways Look up Simon & Garfunkel - Kraft Music Hall Part 1 of 3 and that's where this clip comes from. Actually, you should see all three parts 'cause they play 5 or 6 songs, and I just noticed that it says it was broadcasted on Jan. 3 '68, so they're really 26 at this point, and that's going off the idea that the broadcast date was life and not a recording from say, 1966 or so. :)
Well, I had saved this video to my Favorites, and I just happened to stumble across videos that were taken from the Kraft Music Hall that I listed below, and I looked their birthdays up on Wikipedia...I'm 24 in March, but I've been listening to S&G since I was about 14...
I don't remember how old I was when I first started listening to them but my favorite album was the Concert in Central Park. Paul Simon is great but it's always better when he's with Art Garfunkel.
Voice of an angel. It may be a cliche, but it's true.

Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel are angels sent from heaven to help us rest from pain and misery...

@Doud92 that's touching. I always thought Art's voice sounded like it came from angels, or fairies, or some magical, pure place. maybe heaven. This song could be called "song of innocence." because it represents true love.

@WildAlaskanBlossom Have just given you a thumb's up. Paul said once that the angel's sang at Garfunkel's bar mitzva. That said, I think that romantic love is an illusion.

@555sss So was Sister Andre Marie, my teacher, who introduced me to the beautiful meditative qualities of Simon and Garfunkel.

@Zazalooch Thanks for answering/commenting. There is just something magical ab/ those two. They've had their ups and down with each other. But now I think they've come to appreciate each other the last few years. Such originality in words, melody, delivery. And of course the 'ambience'.

@555sss I'm 14 and I'm listening to this . I'll be listening to this when I'm 53 no doubt.

It baffles me how Art and Paul's guitar can overlap so perfectly. It's as close to a perfect song as you're ever going to get. I'll never go tired of this, it's just a shame that the recording equipment wasn't of a higher standard.

I've always loved the fact that it is "Emily" he is singing to, because my name is Emily too.

One of the most beautiful love songs ever written and beautifully sung, preserving all the moments of young love forever, to remind us of what love is and still can be, as we get older. Many thanks to these two great artists. - salparadise

How old was Art here? He looks to be about 18 or so...god, his voice is amazing.
charmingasalways 2 years ago
@charmingasalways Assuming this was after November of '68, they were both 27 years old...Paul's birthday is Oct. 13 1941 and Arty is less than a month younger, born Nov. 5...At least, that's what Wikipedia has them at...lol

Okay I was way off...but this was around 1966 I think.

@charmingasalways Look up Simon & Garfunkel - Kraft Music Hall Part 1 of 3 and that's where this clip comes from. Actually, you should see all three parts 'cause they play 5 or 6 songs, and I just noticed that it says it was broadcasted on Jan. 3 '68, so they're really 26 at this point, and that's going off the idea that the broadcast date was life and not a recording from say, 1966 or so. :)

wow..where did you learn this?
charmingasalways 2 years ago
Well, I had saved this video to my Favorites, and I just happened to stumble across videos that were taken from the Kraft Music Hall that I listed below, and I looked their birthdays up on Wikipedia...I'm 24 in March, but I've been listening to S&G since I was about 14...
Sparrow36313 2 years ago
I don't remember how old I was when I first started listening to them but my favorite album was the Concert in Central Park. Paul Simon is great but it's always better when he's with Art Garfunkel.

Imo, the best love song ever composed and performed. It evinces so much emotion and feeling in such a few short verses. Masterfully done.
