Originally titled The Sounds of Silence - this song was
composed by Paul Simon over the period of months between 1963 and 1964.
It was recorded by Simon and Art Garfunkel
and released as a commercial flop in 1964.
As a consequence the duo broke-up with Simon returning to England and
Garfunkel to university. In the spring
of 1965 the song began to attract air play leading song producer Tom Wilson to
remix the track and re-release it in the fall of 1965. By January 1, 1966 the song was #1 on the
Billboard Hot 100 Chart. The duo
reunited and the rest is history.
I posted a video of Disturbed covering this tune ten months ago and it’s worth
revisiting. This version with Myles
Kennedy is even more awesome...
