Paul Simon

In this captivating live recording from November 30, 1963, Paul Simon was just on the cusp of skyrocketing to fame. Prior to this performance, he had released the album "Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M." in 1964, a collaboration with Art Garfunkel. Interestingly, this album was the duo's first and originally flopped, but it laid the groundwork for their later success. Following the release, Simon & Garfunkel would soon see their hit "The Sound of Silence" take off. The live performance captures Simon's raw talent and heartfelt stage presence during a formative period in his career, reflecting the folk revival movement of the time. It’s incredible to think that, just a few months later, Simon would be on a path to becoming a household name, transforming the landscape of popular music.
