i have seen a lot of reaction videos to "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and people are mostly moved to tears. I think this will also happen to Empress Joy-Jean
welcome to my world, Every song was this good back in the 60s's This song was not only sung and harmonized well, but it carries a strong message... glad u found them
Wow! Wow! Wow!, Really enjoy you listening to older music & your expressions, listen to this song- I Am A Rock by Simon & Garfunkle, you'll love it also😘👍✌️
They are Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel. They were a top folk music duo in the 60s and very early 70s. Simon wrote all of their songs...a true poet. Kathy’s Song and Bridge Over Troubled Water are two of my favorite songs by them. I wore out their albums when I was young. 😊🌹
The perfect sublime harmony from Simon has not lost any credibility in the last fifty + years. That's built from so many hours of practice and desire to sound as one...
That's the best version written and performed by true legends of music. Simon and Garfunkel are amazing musicians, so creative and intelligent. Good choice 👍👏
We had so much talent in the 60’s and 70’s. It was amazing to grow up listening to the music. So many songs back then touched the heart. Or they grabbed you by the throat and wouldn’t let go.
Hey, hey good looking. You played the original recording of the original duo. It was released in early 1964 and they had the assassination of President Kennedy in mind. It never really hit, but when they were on a tour in Europe, they heard it on the radio. Suddenly electric guitars were put on without their knowledge. It was now a big hit. Their manege had had electrified comp. Their fantastic career had begun. Greetings from Sweden
Yes, this original version is my favorite - they had such a comforting sound to them, whatever song they sang. Another really good cover of this song is done by the acapella group, "Pentatonix" - it will also blow you away. : )
Paul Simon is one of the greatest songwriters. He has such a beautiful, cool sound. I recommend: Slip sliding away, 50 ways to leave your lover, Graceland, diamonds on the soles of her shoes, and Homeward Bound.
I would suggest Paul Simons Graceland album. He was heavily influenced by African rhythms and is supported on the album by Ladysmith Black Mombasa. Diamonds on the soles of her shoes is a great song.
He was heavily influenced by South African rhythms (actually heavily influenced is a bit of an understatement, he heavily plagiarised South African music!). Anyway I think this woman is from West Africa and the music is completely different.
Simon and Garfunkel in their Central Park live concert in New York is a wonderful way to see them play their music back in the day when the music really played
They are very VERY great musicians who have lots of hits. Their voices are amazing! Check out their other hits, you will love them! Here is a list to get you started: Kodachrome, Mrs Robinson, The Boxer, Bridge Over Troubled Water, Cecelia, Pina-Coloda, She Loves Me Like a Rock, Still Crazy After All These Years, and sooo many others! Cheers,
now imagine that reaction seeing them at a little show live with some friends, a few beers, and pot. Really a magical time to be alive and be enjoying everything around you
Oh, I Love this reaction! Simon and Garfunkle were an amazing duo, with perfect harmonies.. Paul Simon was an amazing solo artist as well. You should seek out some Paul Simon songs as well!
OMG! New to Paul and Art? You Must hear BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER, and THE BOXER, as well as MRS. ROBINSON, then SCARBOROUGH FAIR will really get your heart-strings!
Oh hun, you're just scratching the surface of these great pop icons. Liisten to the lyrics of "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" They're apt - especially today, yet written in the late 60s. And certainly explore Paul Simon from 1970s right through until today. Mid 70s is pure, smooth rock. Check out "me & Julio..." or "Late in the Evening"
Our country was silent for a minute after a tragedy in 1963 shocked us all to silence. From great heartbreak comes great art, great music, great poetry. by the way, it's good to see you again. it's been a while.
There one of the greatest duos in music history. They had probably 10 hit beautiful songs. Worth checking out. This is my favorite. Much success on yr channel
Congrats, Empress! Discovering the genius of Paul Simon is like a paleontologist finding a T-Rex. (Disturbed's cover is interesting, but it's just fake dinosaur bones). And don't let the beautiful vocal harmonies fool you... the core of the music is Paul's brilliant songwriting.
this song has been out for over 50 years and it still makes me feal this way. i think it is paul simon's best song ever, and art garfunkel's voice is amassing.
Your reactions touched me. This song was popular when I was in my teens. Coupled with other folk songs of that era, I opened up to the notion we are all connected. My spiritual journey continues to unfold in fascinating ways. Thanks to Simon and Garfunkel and so many other inspiring poetical singer/songwriters.
Love your reaction, again. :) Seeing you being affected by their music makes me appreciate it more and it almost feels like I am hearing it for the first time again, which is such a magical feeling.
There are live ones when they are older but very good. The concert they did in NY in 1980 I believe, you will see them. They had a half a million fans come to watch them.
Thank you for being a bright light in a sometimes dark world. You make me, and im sure thouands of others smile and forget all about problems. Thank you so much, may blessings rain upon you.
I love listening to your reaction to the music I grew up with. I'm in my mid 60s now and although I know all the notes and all the words, your fresh reaction allows me to re-experience the joy I felt when I first heard these songs all those years ago. Thank you.
I wish I could do more than simply "like" this - this is the perfect reaction to this version of the song. My first vid of yours, but I'll be looking at more!
Forty years ago in 1981 they gave a legendary concert in Central Park in New York. Watch the version of the Sound of Silence of this concert. ( 70 million views on TH-cam!!!) You will need tissues!!!!
Simon & Garfunkel are one of the most famous musical acts of the 20th century. And yes, as has been alluded to below, they have LOTS of great songs to explore.
I saw a description (on a reaction where he compared them one-after-the-other) of the difference between the S&G version and the Disturbed version described thus.... The S&G version is like a Mom telling her toddler to put her toys away & go to bed. The Disturbed version is like that same Mom, two hours later....having completely lost her sh*t, and is now screaming in rage at this toddler.
it is so real to watch your reactions. back in the 1960 growing up with all the great music that was made, and we listened to them on the a.m. station f.m. had not even been made..lol thanks for posting ,
My suggestion is to listen to the entire live Concert in Central Park they had separated, even as best friends, but reunited for this concert. But the songs, the songs, the songs, it was and is one the best live concert performances ever recorded, and yes, it includes Sounds of Silence.
I honestly believe that this song and Scarborough Fair. The beauty of the lyrics, the music and their harmony may have been equaled by a future others, but never surpassed. These two songs came out when I was in high school and still speak to me today as much as then. I'm glad this one spoke to you as well. If you liked this you should check out Scarborough Fair.
When Joy-Jean looks straight into the camera, she makes me wish I was 40 years younger.
This song is as haunting now as it was then. A brilliant piece of music from 2 originals.
Yeah, girl. That's how it is supposed to make you feel, and why it is loved by millions.
you mean billions mate
This is how it is SUPPOSED to sound.
Scarborough Fair
Bridge Over Troubled Water
Simon and Garfunkel were very popular back in the day. Check out "The Boxer"
studio version preferably tho the central park one is not bad either
Definitely need to check out The Boxer!
and “for emily,where ever i might find her”
@@msbest9830 Yes, the CP version is all acoustic and quite a bit slower.
That feeling you're experiencing ... that is the way music is supposed to make you feel.
It's hard to beat the originals because it's their sound!
allways listen to the original studio version first. LOVE your reaction girl! You shine!
Bridge Over Troubled Water is a must, do the studio version first, you will love it!
I second this by far.
And 3rd
I 4th this. Please! 💚
i have seen a lot of reaction videos to "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and people are mostly moved to tears. I think this will also happen to Empress Joy-Jean
welcome to my world, Every song was this good back in the 60s's This song was not only sung and harmonized well, but it carries a strong message... glad u found them
I can name an awful lot of terrible 60's songs.
Well, the 60s were amazing, but every decade has good and bad
The early 70s was amazing for music also, amazing.
I assure you, every song was not this good in the 1960's. Because this song is not good. It is spectacular.
'Every song was this good back in the 60s' Historical revisionism at its worst.
Wow! Wow! Wow!, Really enjoy you listening to older music & your expressions, listen to this song- I Am A Rock by Simon & Garfunkle, you'll love it also😘👍✌️
One of the most beautiful songs ever recorded. 😎
so awesome to watch young peoples reactions of yesterdays golden songs , and this beautiful lady does is best
They are Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel. They were a top folk music duo in the 60s and very early 70s. Simon wrote all of their songs...a true poet. Kathy’s Song and Bridge Over Troubled Water are two of my favorite songs by them. I wore out their albums when I was young. 😊🌹
Me too
Me too!
Paul Simon is a serious musician. Art Garfunkel has the voice of an angel.
Art is the angelic voice. Simon matches Art perfectly and wrote this and many other fabulous songs.
Paul Simon has released music in the 50s/60s/70s/80s/90s/00s/10s, he is a legend and probably one the the most underrated artists out there.
This is magic.
The perfect sublime harmony from Simon has not lost any credibility in the last fifty + years. That's built from so many hours of practice and desire to sound as one...
That's the best version written and performed by true legends of music.
Simon and Garfunkel are amazing musicians, so creative and intelligent. Good choice 👍👏
Paul at ground zero is definitely on par.
Beautiful, isnt it? - glad it spoke to you
Their voices are like a hug
Thats Simon and Grafunkel Kid. !!!!!!!!!! Serious players in the world of real music.
We had so much talent in the 60’s and 70’s. It was amazing to grow up listening to the music. So many songs back then touched the heart. Or they grabbed you by the throat and wouldn’t let go.

Greetings from Sweden
Don’t forget about the added 🥁 drums.
Listening to the original should always be your first choice. Then listen to other interpretations. Love your reaction videos from Boston.
Saw Boston 2nd Tour, Sammy Hagar was the warm up...Good times
not always easy to know who does the original, sometimes we are introduced to music by a cover
Not only that but it is hard to search for an original that you don't know exists.
Yes, this original version is my favorite - they had such a comforting sound to them, whatever song they sang. Another really good cover of this song is done by the acapella group, "Pentatonix" - it will also blow you away. : )
Mrs Robinson, The Boxer, Bridge Over Troubled Water, Cecelia
Yes! ALL OF THESE!!
I second the yes to all of these
And I Am A Rock is great too!
ALL GREAT ONES!!
Now play "The Boxer"
Paul Simon is one of the greatest songwriters. He has such a beautiful, cool sound. I recommend: Slip sliding away, 50 ways to leave your lover, Graceland, diamonds on the soles of her shoes, and Homeward Bound.
I absolutely LOVE diamonds, but if she reacts to one, I would love to see her watch the "You can call me Al" video. IT'S SO FUN!
I would suggest Paul Simons Graceland album. He was heavily influenced by African rhythms and is supported on the album by Ladysmith Black Mombasa. Diamonds on the soles of her shoes is a great song.
He was heavily influenced by South African rhythms (actually heavily influenced is a bit of an understatement, he heavily plagiarised South African music!). Anyway I think this woman is from West Africa and the music is completely different.

I love Cecelia!
el condor pasa
Welcome to Simon and Garfunkel you have a long beautiful journey ahead
You need to dive into their music i guarantee you will not be disappointed!
Couldn't agree more!
now imagine that reaction seeing them at a little show live with some friends, a few beers, and pot. Really a magical time to be alive and be enjoying everything around you
Oh, I Love this reaction! Simon and Garfunkle were an amazing duo, with perfect harmonies.. Paul Simon was an amazing solo artist as well. You should seek out some Paul Simon songs as well!
OMG! New to Paul and Art? You Must hear BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER, and THE BOXER, as well as MRS. ROBINSON, then SCARBOROUGH FAIR will really get your heart-strings!
Simon & Garfunkel, “AMERICA”, is a must listen
Oh hun, you're just scratching the surface of these great pop icons. Liisten to the lyrics of "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" They're apt - especially today, yet written in the late 60s.

their voices mix and are haunting to make this the song it is
No remake will EVER touch the mastery of the original version of this song.. or any other song by these two
I agree.
Grandma and grandpa already knew what was good.
It's nice that people like you make sure she isn't forgotten.
You-Tube has the entire Simon and Garfunkel outdoor concert in New York's Central Park. It is EPIC!!!
There one of the greatest duos in music history. They had probably 10 hit beautiful songs. Worth checking out. This is my favorite. Much success on yr channel

Awesome reaction. Please try Bridge Over Troubled Water.
listen to Bridge Over Troubled Water by them, you'll love it x
This song gives you a real feel of what the mid to late 1960's were like ....
Your reactions touched me. This song was popular when I was in my teens. Coupled with other folk songs of that era, I opened up to the notion we are all connected. My spiritual journey continues to unfold in fascinating ways. Thanks to Simon and Garfunkel and so many other inspiring poetical singer/songwriters.
your reactions are priceless...you FEEL the music
Love your reaction, again. :) Seeing you being affected by their music makes me appreciate it more and it almost feels like I am hearing it for the first time again, which is such a magical feeling.
There are no words for music that touches your heart and soul. It just lives there forever.
If you go back to the middle to late 50´s and go on a musical journey through to the 80´s you will have a fantastic musical experience.
You cannot fail to hear the vibrato in their voices.
Definitely check out "Bridge over Troubled Water" live from Central Park
There are live ones when they are older but very good. The concert they did in NY in 1980 I believe, you will see them. They had a half a million fans come to watch them.
There amazing bridge over troubled water isxmy favourite
Disturbed was just good. This was perfection. Paul wrote it and art sang it. Can't compare
my heart can not be silenced to your perfect reactions. Thank you mi amor.
The cover was from a group that has no recollection of the 60s or Kennedy. So it means something different to their fans and them.
This is pure poetry sung to music.
Thank you for being a bright light in a sometimes dark world. You make me, and im sure thouands of others smile and forget all about problems. Thank you so much, may blessings rain upon you.
Totally different vibe. Amazing music back in the day.
I love listening to your reaction to the music I grew up with. I'm in my mid 60s now and although I know all the notes and all the words, your fresh reaction allows me to re-experience the joy I felt when I first heard these songs all those years ago. Thank you.
It's the message within, but yet is is so clear.
I like youre natural emotional reaction beautiful Lady!
I am a rock and Bridge over troubled waters are a must. Peace and Love Empress Joy-Jean
This is the greatest rock n roll song of them all.. Love your reaction..
they are iconic that's who they are nice reaction thank you!!
Made me smile to watch you FEEL.
This was the warning, torn between which I like more. Disturbed was sung when the warning had been ignored
I wish I could do more than simply "like" this - this is the perfect reaction to this version of the song. My first vid of yours, but I'll be looking at more!
Another shout for Simon & Garfunkel's Bridge Over Troubled Water. One of my favourite tunes to relax to.
Most excellent reaction. Thank you
Who are theyyyyy XD hahaha made my day. That lovely girl, is the magical duo from the heavens. :)
Forty years ago in 1981 they gave a legendary concert in Central Park in New York. Watch the version of the Sound of Silence of this concert. ( 70 million views on TH-cam!!!) You will need tissues!!!!
Makes me cry, every time. ❤
Those dudes could sing the words from a take-out menu and it would still be beautiful.
beautiful oh and the song to hahaha......thankyou for reacting to this song. god bless
Simon & Garfunkel are one of the most famous musical acts of the 20th century. And yes, as has been alluded to below, they have LOTS of great songs to explore.

The Disturbed version is like that same Mom, two hours later....having completely lost her sh*t, and is now screaming in rage at this toddler.
You need to see there live shows. Enjoy and take it in as much as your heart can handle. Have fun.
it is so real to watch your reactions. back in the 1960 growing up with all the great music that was made, and we listened to them on the a.m. station f.m. had not even been made..lol

Your response to this was wonderful and moving. Thank you for sharing.
This is one off theyre greatest songs! Iam glad you enyoid it. I could see on the expression of youre face you did.
I honestly believe that this song and Scarborough Fair. The beauty of the lyrics, the music and their harmony may have been equaled by a future others, but never surpassed. These two songs came out when I was in high school and still speak to me today as much as then. I'm glad this one spoke to you as well. If you liked this you should check out Scarborough Fair.
Love your reactions to the music of my teenage years, brilliant.
Simon and Garfunkel GREAT!!!.
POETS!.
DEEP PURPLE STUDIO VERSION OF CHILD IN TIME😉
Paul Simon has written some of the best lyrics ever and his and Art Garfunkle's angelic voice was unbeatable. Check out Disturbed.
Your reactions are so genuine. And you are so lovable.
Play Simon and Garfunkel’s the 59th Street Bridge Song for the first warm sunny day in spring
It's the Empress! I love your accent.
There are no more harmonized instruments in the history of music than the voices of Simon & Garfunkel. Point
