Yes, dearest Sally. One of my favorite duos, I laughed, cried, reminisced, loved and despaired, through many of their songs, over and over again.
Yes, nobody sounded like them, and never will. Art, with his pure voice, light as a bird, went on to other solo hits..including two of my all time favorites; Bright Eyes ( from the movie) and Only Have Eyes For You.
Paul Simon went on to many other contemporary hits in his usual style. ' Mother and Child Reunion' one of my favorites.

Nicely interesting Sally. Love going back in time with you.
Have a beautiful day.
RG

Sally Law I have heard the two songs about home featured: one from long past; and your favorite from more recent years. Makes me desire to get out my recording of Simon's---
'Home Bound'

Your two songs are great to remind you, and us, of the thoughts and feelings of home. Simon and Garfunkel were a great group with a sound that was unique. Their voices blended perfectly. They were very talented and gave the world many awesome songs. While I'm not familiar with the second artist, I did listen and enjoy his recording. He is a talent, too. This theme reminds me of John Denver's 'Country Roads.'
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

Three years ago, I returned to my family home, and it was in serious need of a remodel... I spent one-year rebuilding. My husband and I shared it, and our best memories are here where he took his last breath. Home gives us peace and solitude. Home remembers the love that lived here. Home is where I will stay until my final breath. I loved the songs you chose...the words were perfect.

Hugs, Carol

I also love Simon and Garfunkel.
I think it's a great idea to share your favorite songs.
You've written a sentence I really love (I also feel like that): Home, to me, is wherever my husband is.
Thanks for sharing.

Homeward Bound? OMG! This was the very first song of this duo I heard over and over again during my stay in Germany in the late 60s! Voice as smooth as butter! Soulful! Thanks so much for posting it now. Brings back wonderful memories. I still have single I bought way back in 1970. Thanks very much for sharing!

I'm familiar with S&G--they have a lot of songs I like--music and lyrics--it's rare I like both! As for Daughtry--never heard of him. Thanks for the lead! Keep it coming.

Thank you for sharing this great Simon and Garfunkel. Oh my, I'm aging myself here. Not Good! LOL You have made great choices here. Although I'm not as familiar with your second choice.

    We can age gracefully together. The Simon and Garfunkel concert in Central Park made me cry from the first key. Thank you for tuning in. Sending you my very best,

I love, love, love those songs!!! They don't make them like that any more. I was listening to Homeward Bound and singing along. Brilliant! I loved that era. Well done, my friend, I really enjoyed this. :)) Sandra xx
