A masterpiece! PAUL SIMON AND GEORGE HARRISON Homeward bound REACTION - First time hearing

[@bethcrumpton476]

These two men have written some of the most beautiful songs of the last 60 years.

[@glenndespres5317]

Great to see George singing this with real feeling and expression.😊

[@chitownlee]

On that same show they also sang, Here Comes The Sun.

[@magneto7930]

I remember watching them play this when it originally aired on Saturday Night Live, along with Here Comes the Sun. Great memories!

[@guyjiminjapan9824]

Two giants, two fantastic performances.

[@waltw4537]

We have been blessed with so many great artists in our lifetime. Thank you.

[@christianmarler2253]

Yes, and too many are moving on.

[@stuBdoc]

This is Paul Simon's song, one of my old faves. Beautiful performance. Together with Here Comes the Sun, legendary.

[@garyarnett1220]

Saw this live that night. Unforgettable. Thanksgiving (US) weekend 1976.

[@jeanniedebartolo5965]

Beautiful song. Grew up in the 60s 70s and at the time when the best music was made ❤

[@DocRock71]

I watched this live back in 76. I was in high school and it was the first time I'd seen Harrison since his Concert For Bangladesh movie came out, and was thrilled to see one of the Beatles on SNL

[@josephmilitello647]

This was the first full SNL episode I ever saw, Thanksgiving 1976.

[@claudegagnon999]

Nice Occasion...

[@personalcheeses8073]

Wow the hair is gone😮Lovely reaction, well done George 👏👏👏

[@iandowney4630]

Amazing to see both George Harrison and Paul Simon sitting next to each other playing guitar and singing such a sublime song. God, are they young 😂 Many thanks, JK, for this treat, and to Harri for your very happy reaction!

JK - This was a great performance and an excellent submission choice. I recall this appearance as if it was almost, but not quite, yesterday. Bravo JK and Harri

[@billdCT97]

My first time hearing as well.............wonderful

[@CONNIECOLVIN-wg8bq]

So touching. George. What can you ever say. We were robbed. Simon so talented.

[@Cynthia...]

This is one of my all time favourites of Paul and to hear it with George also is awesome. Thank you JK and Harri Best.

[@beeseewill2407]

This is a great Paul Simon song.I just love his vocals.Clear and easy to follow.

So beautiful 😍 I’ve never seen this clip! Loving and missing dear George 😭 ❤❤

[@Linda-y9h]

Ahhhhh, the good ol dayzzzz. ❤😊

[@clint6872]

Thanks Jk and Harri, I had never seen this before. Pretty special to have these two together.

[@agnetesorensenelbom5085]

❤👍👏😇

[@MsAppassionata]

They also performed “HereComes The Sun” on the same program.

[@ericarachel55]

two of my favorite musicians!

[@diannthomas5653]

Beautiful. Two greats together! WOW.

[@marshastapleton1148]

Wow what a wonderful treat! Thank you so much. God bless. If you have not done so, please check out George Harrison doing "While My Guitar Gently Weeps."

[@Bar-l7w]

Oh harri didn’t recognize you. You look great !

[@han36solo]

Wow that was beautiful! Thanks for this, a real treat.

[@claudegagnon999]

A Classic!

[@RadCenter]

No light show, no flashy dancers; just two men, two guitars, and a simple message.

[@dalemcmillan7231]

Very cool ❤❤

[@JD_Cool]

Why, oh why, was this a one-off? Their voices blend magically together. If only they these 2 songwriting icons had collaborated on an album.

[@The5thGen]

Excellent request!

[@personalcheeses8073]

The hair is gone 😮

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

Harri, this performance was broadcast on the NBC-TV program "Saturday Night Live," and it was the second of TWO songs George and Paul sang together that night. Look around and you'll find the other, "Here Comes the Sun," the Beatles classic that George wrote and sang lead on. Makes sense -- they did one Beatles song and one Simon and Garfunkel song.

[@pierrelenoir1443]

Hi, Harri . Homeward bound, Richard Cory, I am a rock and The sounds of silence. The four songs of the first record of Simon and Garfunkel I bought some 60 years ago. I didn't know that version. Thanks for your your job, and your channel.

[@bobcorbin3294]

Yeah this happened at the height of the "will the Beatles get back together?" Phase.

[@ronmullard5718]

Paul wrote this while sat in a railway station in NW England ....

[@phillip8443]

They also recorded Harrison's song here comes the sun on the same show I remember watching it when it came on in 1975 it is also wonderful check it out

[@futuregenerationz]

BTW these 2 never played together before this video.

[@Marcus-Oh-really-yes]

Wow! Never heard this collab with Paul and George before. Awesome. Thanks, Harri and JK.

[@christianmarler2253]

Paul Simon, at a couple of points in these performances, gives a look like he is in awe of sitting there and performing with Beatle George. They also do either Something or Here Comes The Sun, can't recall. In fact, it may be more than two songs, but I know they both play each other's songs, and both men seem to have a lot of respect for each other, especially when playing the other's work. George obviously had equal respect for Paul, or he wouldn't have done this.

[@sammybeck7794]

Harri, I love you chrome dome. You look so young. So, anyway thanks for this special treat. I never would have seen this ever if it weren't for seeing it here

[@LarsSmith-rv4ot]

nice, interesting

[@marybaillie8907]

Originally from the 1966 album, " Sounds of Silence", Paul and George performed this on SNL in 1976. With the simple and captivating melody, this folk inspired tune, Paul's lyrics paint a vivid imagery reflecting his ability to storytell. George was the first Beatle to appear on SNL after their breakup. His duet with Paul highlighted two unique voices blending with the intimate accoustic guitar performance for some beautiful musical moments. Although I agree Simon and Garfunkel's harmonies on this song, unbeatable. Great reaction Handsome Harri ❤❤ Thanks JK 👏👏 Cheers from Canada ❤❤🇨🇦🇨🇦

Hey brother, love the new hair! keep making videos!

Paul Simon’s Guild F-30 guitar! Had one just like that, for years! They’re hugely underrated guitars. Peace

😊😊😊😊😊

[@helenstravis3834]

Reminds me of Turn The Page by Bob Seger . Another good one to react to.

[@CONNIECOLVIN-wg8bq]

How are you Harri? Worried about you.

[@marceloalexandre3780]

caraca, como eu jamais ouvira isso antes

[@lawreence13]

Sorry Harri but what a shock to see your new look, so different and yet the same lovely fella

[@lawreence13]

If I may say so, you look so much younger

[@MsAppassionata]

Hari! What happened to your hair?! I’m not used to seeing you without it.

[@NigelPage-z2z]

Dude where’s your hair?.

[@davidtullis2810]

Beard too

[@dusty4835]

George had shown he was willing and eager to play with many other greats. You look like Hari's evil twin, Shorn. 🙃

[@Nuerth]

Only aspect that hit me was when George sang the line about hanging out smoking cigarettes ~ knowing that it was cigarettes that gave him the cancer that took him from us

[@JoeandAngie]

Proof?

[@Nuerth]

@@JoeandAngie When he was in the hospice dying he released a public statement ~ stating that anyone who considered themselves a fan of his ~ if his words meant anything ~ if they smoked quit ~ his two older brothers also died of lung cancer ~

[@teib757]

Ayoo where the hair gone?😅

[@OurGloriousTimes]

OK performance but it certainly doesn't mesh like the classic original.

[@rodneyjoines4557]

What happened to your hair and beard?

[@toranderssrvold8084]

Sorry to disappoint you guys but the other guy is definitely not George Harrison...
