Today that song has much more resonance than in 2012.

One of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard in my life:)

There is no better accompanist than Lawrence Hobgood. Brilliant piano player.

Great Kurt Elling! And a great pianist ! Wonderful!

[@claudedietrich8654]

very plain, very true, just direct to the heart. No artifices, the way it should be. Beautiful. Kurt Elling's version is exceptional.

[@sallybowles2781]

well, I wouldn't call it "plain" ,for a simple truthful version listen to Eva Cassidy

[@sebastian.lauterbach]

A fantastic interpretation of a truly magnificent song, of one of my absolute favorites of Paul Simon. That voice and that piano!

[@claudedietrich8654]

Elling's version of that tune is divine. Most likely, Bach would agree with the way a hymn he has often used in his work is invoked in Paul Simon's composition. Kurt does bring this wonderfully well. And the piano yes is superb indeed.

Laurence Hobgood, Kurt's longtime pianist, is the player here. Elling and Hobgood split in 2013.
