Put musical talent together with great and often meaningful songwriting and we have Paul Simon. I have always loved Paul Simon from his start with Art Garfunkel to today. I think he is one of the most talented singer/songwriters out there.
Picking a song from Paul Simon is hard as there is hardly a bad song among them. However, the best album, I believe, is Graceland. This album blends African sounds with Paul’s own style and is remarkable. This album helped to bring world music to the forefront.
To pick one song from this album is hard, but I will choose the title song, Graceland. As an extra bonus, also from the Graceland album, one of best video’s ever made.
Enjoy!
