Paul Simon: Under African Skies

Joe Berlinger's film captures #PaulSimon's return to South Africa some years after the release of Graceland, contrasting the value of individual artistic expression against collective action.

"At the Zoo" is one of #SimonAndGarfunkel's single releases in 1967. It is one of #PaulSimon's many tributes to his hometown of #NewYorkCity, and was written for the #soundtrack of #TheGraduate, specifically the scene which takes place at the #SanFranciscoZoo. However.

Next up is #PaulSimon’s 1986 classic #Graceland

With its South African influences, it reached UK No 1 (8 x Plat) / US No 3 (5 x Plat), & won the 1987 #Grammy for #AlbumoftheYear

#YouCanCallMeAl may be best known, but it’s #LindaRonstadt’s vocal on #UnderAfricanSkies which shine brightest for me

Geoff Berner is the reason we started the #AccordionNoirFestival so it's very fitting to have him out here at our sixteenth installment. In this picture he's rocking #PaulSimon's Bridge Over Troubled Water... in Yiddish!

Someone on one of these platforms mentioned #paulsimon's Boy In the Bubble earlier and of course I started listening to the whole #graceland album and of course I'm already weeping

Anyone who doesn't recognise the importance of good hair in pop music should plot a chart of #PaulSimon's "coolness" and "credibility" against his hair length/style and moustache status . I ♥️PS obv

Here's a short happy-go-lucky 🎶 parody about the way that
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is now collapsing American healthcare - based off #PaulSimon's toe-tapping "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard".

It's called: "Measles and Polio Down in the Schoolyard."

A pre-birthday treat to myself with #NewAdditions to the #RecordCollection inc #Blondie’s 1999 live set (on 2LP white #vinyl) #RoyOrbison’s 1989 #MysteryGirl (2014 2LP reissue) #DonMcClean’s 1971 #AmericanPie & #PaulSimon’s #Graceland on clear #Vinyl … plus new #AndyBell (& #Erasure)

I'm gonna add #PaulSimon's followup Rhythm of the Saints to this Albums I Loved But Haven't Listened To For A Long Time

And then tack on #TearsForFears Seeds of Love (still the only album where I STILL know the lyrics to every single track by heart)
