Paul Simon and Sting Perform Obvious Child Live in Toronto

Date: June 21, 2014

In June 2014, Paul Simon was actively touring with Sting as part of their collaborative performance on the 'Together North American Tour.' Before this live recording, Simon had released his album 'So Beautiful or So What' in 2011, which received critical acclaim and showcased his continued evolution as a songwriter. This album, blending folk, rock, and world music influences, was seen as a significant return to form for Simon. Notably, 'Obvious Child,' the song performed in the video, was originally part of his 1990 album 'The Rhythm of the Saints,' which delved into Latin rhythms and themes of life's impermanence. Simon's ability to connect with audiences spans generations, and performing alongside Sting added a unique layer of depth to the concert, highlighting their mutual respect and artistic synergy.
