Paul Simon

By September 1981, Paul Simon was riding high after the success of his album 'Still Crazy After All These Years,' which had been released a year earlier. The live performance of 'April Come She Will' at Central Park highlights his remarkable ability to blend folk and rock with poignant lyrics that resonate deeply with listeners. This concert took place during a period when Simon was seeking to reconnect with his roots, not just musically, but also with his audience—given the nostalgia many felt for the earlier Simon & Garfunkel days. Interestingly, the Central Park concert attracted thousands of fans and remains one of Simon's iconic performances, showcasing his emotional delivery and the timeless beauty of his songwriting. Fun fact: Simon often draws on personal experiences in his work, making tracks like this one feel like a window into his very soul.
