If Paul Simon ONLY wrote Bridge Over Troubled Water, and nothing else, he'd have been a legend......and he wrote The Boxer, America, Mrs. Robinson and 100 more.
If you mention singer/songwriters of the past 50 years Paul Simon will be at the top of the list. Yes, there's others, but Simon is exceptional in his writing, singing, and guitar accompaniment.
When Paul is gone and James and.paul Simon pass. I will cry nonstop. This is my music and they seem like friends This is the music I grew up on, ashamed the last generations do not have what what I had at 62 years old.
They making fun of the relationship he had with Garfunkel. They each blamed the other why they broke up. They rocked together for there fans when there solo career's weren't the same. One can only imagine the tension back stage. 😵🤕🤕🤕🤕🤒. Real fans of that era know it got ugly. What Yoko did to beattles ain't got nothing on these 2 frenemies.
@@JohnSmith-hq7cb He could play a guitar better than a taller one; I think that a taller guy is about 5 foot 9; and Simon is about five foot 3, if you are really curious. He was more serious than a taller guy that only could sing but played guitar not as well, from my impression.
When I was a little boy in the early 70’s my parents divorced.... I’d spend the weekends with my dad... he was a very successful roofer spawning his business off my grandpa’s business... during my visits we would listen to “records” albums lol... he had everything from Elvis, zeppelin, who, grand funk.... Paul Simon and the likes... his “cool” workers would stop by and visit... my dad was such a fun dude even the guys working for him liked to hang out with him... One of my favorites was Paul Simon... one Sunday we were getting ready for the drive from east side of Cincinnati to BFE Indiana he said why don’t you take that Paul Simon album home. You don’t even know how happy I was. It was like taking him home with me. I had a little record player I had to plug in at the top of the steps by my bedroom in the old farm house I live in with my mom and stepping father.......... yep I meant that.. stepping father.. I remember one winter during the blizzard of 77 I was snowed in and couldn’t go see my dad.... I burnt this album up..... he died 11-24-17 68 lung cancer.... I love these songs
That was a really touching moment you describe ed about taking your father's record home ...you must have lived him very very much ...God bless you thank you for a very lovely story !!!
Paul Simon has been performing this song for most of his professional career. This is one time when Stephen Colbert joined him on the stage for some fun. So those of you who are complaining about it, have your little tantrums, and get over it!
Very few artists can lay claim to being the voice and atmosphere of a generation...a particular time and place..for those who grew up and listened to this amazing music particularly in NYC..Paul Simon can lay claim...he is songwriting genius..one of a kind.
You have officially "Arrived" when you whistle with Paul Simon to "Me and Julio down by the schoolyard". This was the high moment of your life Stephen. You should have retired after that moment.
I've struggled on guitar for years but recently really focused on working hard to improve and at last I can play and sing Me n Julio and it sounds good and its one of the most rewarding things I've ever accomplished.
Congrats, I love Simon and his collection was the first guitar music I ever bought but it is really challenging, he makes it look so easy and smooth but I can never get the cadence of playing and singing his songs at the same time, I dont know what is different about his music or why.
As a lifelong guitarist I can fully understand your joy in finally nailing a difficult song. I also have struggled learning many songs over the years and occasionally I would get one right. The Paul Simon tune I have spent the most time trying to learn is "The Boxer". Best of luck to you and God bless.
Love Paul Simon I remember I was selling my house and I put Simon and Garfunkel record and a man come in and said love their music feel good I think I will buy this house and he did .true story
Paul Simon and Paul McCartney stand apart as the two most talented and prolific singer/songwriters of the past 5 decades. Both with creative and diverse songs and musical styles.
Well blow me ,I’ve been a Simon and Garfunkel fan since 60s but this Me and Julio rendition is truly AWESOME, and just proves what a unique genius Paul was ,is and forever will be. Thanks ,thanks thanks to both of you Paul and Art.
Mr Colbert and all, it is You, Me, and Julio Down by the Schoolyard. Amazing show of entertainment here! Paul Simon is one of the very best in the business!

I once spoke to Jim LaBarbara, who is a well known radio host in Cincinnati who spent 40 years on the air waves interviewing and inttroducing acts like the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, etc. I asked him what oldies musician was the most surprising interview he ever had. He said Paul Simon, but not for the reason you'd think. He said Paul Simon WAS a bit of a jerk. He took it in stride and figured the man was just having a bad day, but his attitude didn't change in other meetings over the years. That always stuck with me, and it is surprising for a guy that seems to soft spoken.
I used to check this record out of the library over and over again, and sit in my room every day after school listening to it. That’s about the same time my best friend started calling me Julio. LOL
This performance made me want to learn this song on guitar and play it at open mics. Somebody commented they'd never heard that song played at an open mic before. Thank you, that's exactly what I was going for.
Paul Simon is hilarious - and.............., I was honored to see his Farewell Tour on 9/7/18 in Tampa.... NOW, my life is completed.... !!! It was AWESOME...!!! And even more amazing, I actually enjoyed this Steven Colbert skit, and laughed out loud when he busted out in the dance.... This is what late night and comedy is all about, not the political garbage going on now. This was FUN...!!
We saw Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers with Edie Brikel a few years ago and as I sat there listening to great music I wonder if Paul would make an appearance. And when stepped onstage at the end of the show the concert hall erupted. For a little guy he has amazing stage presence. You just can’t take your eyes off him.
Without Paul Simon, the American songbook of the past century would have an enormous hole in it.
If Paul Simon ONLY wrote Bridge Over Troubled Water, and nothing else, he'd have been a legend......and he wrote The Boxer, America, Mrs. Robinson and 100 more.
Don't forget sound of silence.
@@1MICHAELARCHANGEL Don't forget Gracelands.
@@peternicholson233 Don't forget Still Crazy After All These Years
GRACELAND!
I grew ul listening to Simon and Garfunkel! Best duo ever! The Boxer is one of my favourite songs!
Paul is one of the greatest songwriters of all time. Period.
There should be a Paul Simon "Songsmith" award. He deserves the Nobel poet laureate award as much as Dylan.
He was my idol when I was a morose teenage poet. Now at 69 I only love him more.
Are you still morose?
I've enjoyed his and Arts music since my high school days...I'm 68
You can always rely on Paul Simon for a happy song.
He puts a smile on my heart.
"Still Crazy After All These Years" and "Mother and Child Reunion"?
Paul Simon is NOT a jerk. He however is a genuinely warm man and a GIANT among musicians!
Tell that to Los Lobos .. . : - (
no need to state the obvious

He really is a jerk.

Greetings and God bless Australia.

This is the music I grew up on, ashamed the last generations do not have what what I had at 62 years old.
Shows us once again that Paul has a sense of humor...love it. Thank you, Paul Simon for your music.

How tall is the short guy?Is that simon paul?4 feet?dwarf?
@@00tonytone Only ones to blame, the other twat.
I realized that when he walked on stage in the early days of SNL dressed in a turkey costume and began singing Still Crazy After All These Years.

I would be honoured just to be in the same space as Paul Simon.
You have officially "Arrived" when you whistle with Paul Simon to "Me and Julio down by the schoolyard". This was the high moment of your life Stephen. You should have retired after that moment.
@hello Micheal, how are you doing ?
One of the best guitarists ever. J. Xxxxx
One of my favourite songs and my favourite video is where Paul Simon is in a school yard and the kids are skipping and playing ball. Fills me with joy
Paul Simon is my heart beat..JFox Xxxxx
I'm takin' my time but I don't know where. That's beautiful.
Mr. Paul Simon still showing his incredible amazing talent!
I've struggled on guitar for years but recently really focused on working hard to improve and at last I can play and sing Me n Julio and it sounds good and its one of the most rewarding things I've ever accomplished.

Paul Simon and his music, no words needed, Colbert is quite musical!got rhythm. Or maybe is just Paul's influence :))

Brilliant. Gotta love the man. His contribution to music is eternal.
MORE than l...
Still Crazy After All These Years is still one of the finest, best, most complete and wonderful album/CD EVER!!
Such a sad and beautiful song
I know. ❤
This makes my heart dance and my face smile.
Paul Simon is a treasure!!!
Greatest composer of our time!
Which time is that? Don't forget another late great- Harry Chapin.
Love Paul Simon I remember I was selling my house and I put Simon and Garfunkel record and a man come in and said love their music feel good I think I will buy this house and he did .true story
I always thought that his style was melancholic but he has this sly witty fun side as well. That juxtaposition is pure genius and one of the greats
Que pocos compositores del siglo XX están en lo más alto de lo más alto. Paul Simon es uno de ellos.
one of the songs which makes you happy all the time, anytime and anywhere. love it.
Fun song from 1972 ,
Told ya soldier. ❤
Paul is always so universal, the band even included a Brazilian "cuica" do it. Wonderful!
I thought the accompaniment sounded "different" but I didn't know the name of the music. As usual, it was great.
Two of my favorite people, Paul and Stephen, doing one of the catchiest songs ever. As a bonus, Stephen's got the moves!
Colbert is a jackass.
Get the heck off the stage, you talentless hack.
That was awsome and OMG Steve CAN DANCE! He has some serious rhythm
Musical theater guy.
This brings me an unexpected amount of joy.
Always glad to see Paul Simon perform ALONE...
Paul Simon and Paul McCartney stand apart as the two most talented and prolific singer/songwriters of the past 5 decades. Both with creative and diverse songs and musical styles.
Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff are up there with them, they wrote some great songs.
Bob Dylan is #1 by leaps and bounds.
Paul Simon is the best ever!
Well blow me ,I’ve been a Simon and Garfunkel fan since 60s but this Me and Julio rendition is truly AWESOME, and just proves what a unique genius Paul was ,is and forever will be. Thanks ,thanks thanks to both of you Paul and Art.
Of course I did.
Paul Simon est un génie un des plus grand songwriter de sa génération
I would pay for a VR concert for my Oculus if Paul Simon made it available - My favorite Artist and Father and Daughter my favorite song!
@hello Patrick, how are you doing ?
As others have said - Paul thank you for the music - you still have 'it', as 'it' is your spirit of being. You make me happy - thank you.
Please bring back Letterman....
Paul is so lovable and funny in his own way a real legend.
Tanner Herzman agreed
Uno de los mejores cantautores del mundo Paúl Simons

Jim Labarbara, the Music Professor. Revered in Cleveland at WIXY 1260 in the late 60s and early 70s.
Look up Jim Labarbara jocking at the 1988 WIXY Reunion
Paul is a great comedian along with many other talents .
God Bless You Paul .... "Mother & Child Reunion"...my absolute favorite! Graceland second best!
Paul Simon is Education, with a guitar. ❤. J. Xxxxx
A True Legend!!!
A true American treasure MR PAUL SIMON!
Masterscheffe what the heck are you even saying?
America doesn't have many treasures.....
Agree!!
Paul still has the magic & I love it
How in the world did I miss this FOR FOUR YEARS????
I used to check this record out of the library over and over again, and sit in my room every day after school listening to it.
That’s about the same time my best friend started calling me Julio. LOL
Good whistling,dancing. Whistled this forty six years ago. Thanks Mr. Simon for the entertainment.
3-24-2020 coronavirus lockdown NJ THANK YOU PAUL SIMON!

An American treasure. Second to none.
This is one for the books I loved this entire interview.
That old hippie in the back is having the time of his life. :D

paul simon the man is a genius he is funny talented and has an amazing voice even in his old age
Every karaoke singer’s dream!
I've always been a fan even when he and Art Garfinkel were together. GREAT SOUND!!
A most amusing performance. Somehow it only highlights Paul’s skilful talent.
I Love your music, Paul Simon!!
PS, I love you.
well your music that is.
I confess. Im in love with Paul Simon. Xxxxxxxx J Fox. 😂
Existen personas maravillosas como el , con un buen sentido de la vida...muchas felicidades
This performance made me want to learn this song on guitar and play it at open mics. Somebody commented they'd never heard that song played at an open mic before. Thank you, that's exactly what I was going for.
Smart choice. If one can pull it off nicely, it's a sure fire winner with the crowd
Stephan Colbert, you made me a fan with that whistling, Bravo.
The one. The only. Paul Simon.
omg, love him and them!! so fun
Love watching Paul Simon look at Steven and go okay, it'll pass but keep taking whistling lessons
Paul Simon is classic I wish they still play together with Garfunkel together they make great music
They don't get on anymore and Art's voice is not what it used to be.
This is totally so much fun!!!!In so many layers!
Love Paul's musical style!
If you listen to any of Paul Simons many albums you must realize and admit he is an amazing songwriter, likely in the top ten which includes:?
This was fun to see. Thanks for the music Paul!

I'm so angry for the lack of respect shown to the great Paul Simon; he is an icon to the world, and that clown simply ignored it. I can NOT accepted.
Didn't know that Colbert was Gay..
Im in love with this music... Xxxxx JFox ❤
Paul Simon may be a wee bit short, but is truly a giant of man and one of the greatest artists of our time!
Love Paul Simon 💕
Colbert had me laughing so hard. I LOVED his whistling, his singing and most especially his dance moves! Thanks you guys!
This is the best Colbert I've seen in decades.
