Paul Simon And Stephen Colbert Are 'Feelin' Groovy'

[@chayob8914]

Paul Simon is an American treasure

[@stupidtreehugger]

Yes, a wonderful precious memory for many of us, and now, apparently, also a prostitute to political stupidity

[@FixNewsPlease]

Apparently, so is Donald Trump! LMAO

[@hodaka1000]

@@FixNewsPlease Yeah when I get his stupid looking scalp on my belt.

[@kilmcm45]

Hes not American. Paull is from South Africa. He often performs with The South African Men's Choir..... basically its the guys that do that old the old 90's era Lifesavers comercial, (Yummmmm) 😂

[@spunz83ify]

Feelin groovy is just wat we need in these hard times. keep calm and feel groovy, folks!

[@BOBSMITH-YouTubeStoleMyHandle]

Love Paul Simon. I think I might listen to his vinyl tonight when I get home from work. Great song Steven. You make us South Carolinians proud!!

[@levimaitland]

It's always great when Stephen sings with his guest.

[@mypal1990]

Paul Simon still has that amazing voice after all these years.

[@JamisonMyth]

still crazy

[@rossanafioravanti8526]

Emmanuel Alejandro ooooh still cra-a-azy 🎶

[@Timliu92]

Emmanuel Alejandro Indeed! Still melodic, pleasant and soothing as always. My favorite folk singer.

[@falkormoonchild4822]

Paul Simon might as well, but this is again the unpaid genius author's o-sound including all voices. Sad (mankind) but true.

[@kj6qvb]

Actually, I like Paul Simon. I have great respect for him as a singer/songwriter. But I think he sounds like crap in this video. There is zero melodic imagination in his improvisation.

[@SilverfishEntermedia]

That is a fantastic sounding guitar.

[@Crushenator500]

The fingers working it over sure don't hurt either

[@GreenDragon11]

Indeed to both your comments!! :)

[@Sign213]

Silverfish Entermedia its a vintage martin with a slotted in headstock. Martin makes and has made some of the best acoustic guitars ever.

[@michaeldbalance]

@@Sign213 the headstock isn't slotted. It's enclosed, just to point out, and has an East Indian Rosewood overlay on it. Martin guitars released a limited edition signature model of Paul Simon's OM-42 years ago featuring a Solid Sitka Spruce Top with an aging toner, Style 45 rosette with blue paua pearl, Solid East Indian Rosewood back and sides with style 45 purfling, triple 0 scalloped bracing, mahogany neck with a modified V shape and mortise/tenon neck joint, ebony fretboard with 42 style inlays and tortoise shell binding , 25.4 inch scale length, 1.69 inch bone nut, and open gear Waverly tuners. The top is also bound in abalone.

He always makes it look so effortless

[@tkdpower1]

Paul is SO funny. I love him in these performances... As in SNL. Thank you, Stephen, for loving him and inviting his humor to join the musician we know so well. I love you both!

[@camelsheit_on_the_walls446]

And when I thought I couldn't fall more in love with Colbert.. This is just lovely, weird as it may be. Bless you too, Paul :)

[@PlayfulPiano]

I have to say, Colbert's voice is awesome. And Paul's voice hasn't really changed too much over 30+ years.

[@sadiqmohamed681]

50+ years!

[@maddymud]

Ah, yeah, Paul’s was getting pitchy on some of the tremolo

[@danahamilton4667]

And the nut can dance. Love him.❤️

[@michaelfrazia4569]

@Lucas Hale totally. he was on point...I know his stuff well and the first thing I thought was how pristine his voice still sounded. ..the guy is in his late 70s...tough crowd

[@malthus101]

U simp.

[@markdaml3098]

Honestly one of the coolest videos, great to see the legend still kicking.

[@aristobulus8754]

Yeah, and awesome to see Paul too😂

[@TeclaSAPcomUlissesCarvalho]

And we're still feeling groovy in 2022! Thank you so very much, gentlemen! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@trythewine1633]

Fuck, this song gives me goosebumps. I love 59th Bridge song so much

[@sliccmang8176]

I love how paul’s voice has barely deteriorated. He doesn’t have the range he used to but for his age that’s incredible

[@kathymack3791]

Two of my most favorite people. One of the best concerts I've been to was Paul Simon performing with Ladysmith Black Mambazo. He really gives his all when he performs.

[@isabellamcclymont]

I love how Stephen just does these bits (like the one with James Taylor) in such a lowkey way and generally just celebrates how great the artist is by letting them shine.

[@silverwolfmonastery]

I just saw the one with James Taylor for the first time today. Fantastic

[@VintageKimchi]

simon and colbunkel

[@VOLCAL]

KINDA WISHED THAT BETWEEN 1995- 2017 THEY DID AS MUCH ASN AMERICAN, LATNO AMERICAN, INDIAN AMERICAN TOKENISM AS THEY DID WITH THE BBBLKS....DID THEY REALLY NEED TO PUT THE 2 BBBLK DUDES THERE...???? THEY COULDNT GET ANY OTHER MINORITY?????

hes one of the greatest!!

[@ErykaSoleil]

Simultaneously frightening and uplifting. I love it. :)

[@tylerhill9510]

I've always loved this song, always puts a smile on my face. Precisely because it is naive and simple, yet pure gold.

[@HawkeyeCharmer]

First time ever I have been envious of Stephen!! This is legendary and I wish I could've jammed with Paul Simon on my fave song Feelin' Groovy too 😍

[@eileentsiapanos5430]

[@catladymb1864]

Congratulations on being the best of late night shows!

[@Bamhama125]

LOVE these musical bits. Always a pleasure

[@gourlief]

Love the harmonies! Colbert’s voice is lovely!

[@Room142]

OMG this made me so so so happy. Paul Simon's timeless incredible voice. Colbert shocking the hell out of me by being a gorgeous baritone! The heart-warming black comedy. Simon concluding the beautiful collaboration with another blunt "I hate it."😂😂 Excuse me whilst I replay this 10 more times 🎶🎶🎶

[@reuireuiop0]

They of course didn't know about Trump 2020 back then, but if this icon of New Yorkese liberalism hate this song so much, how would that land in Trumpville? Imagine a pickup truck roaring down Main Street, tearing up the pavement, the driver humming "Hello Lamppost, how yo doin" whilst cutting the corner to Church Street..

[@jeanenerivas5009]

LoveColberts voice-one of my favorite songs. Please sing more!!

[@jeffpride9838]

I like when Stephen hit that note on North Korea, he got a decent voice 😎

[@HenriqueErzinger]

He often talks about how he was in glee club, and has played in some musicals, so yeah. He sang a pretty nice duet with Anna Kendricks some time ago.

[@piarossi8224]

You go Stephen 😜😜😜

[@alienlifeform7490]

How to ruin a song.

[@oscarvelasquez1689]

How to show not acceptance of defeat. All of this media against Trump keep on losing even if they make up lyrics in any classic song.

This is why I wake up every morning to see awesome stuff like this, congrats to Colbert and he is king of late night and Paul Simon we love you and your beautiful soul shines through

[@angelicafarrugia6273]

Stephen Colbert's voice is absolutely 😍😍😍 I want to sing with him ❤❤❤

[@oren7436]

and yet it still warmed my heart??

[@luvsdvds]

Whenever I am around the 59th Street Bridge I start singing this song ..... can't help myself! :)

[@johnbowes5852]

Paul's timing with 'I hate it' at the close is impeccable. Such a humourous man to add to his formidable list of other talents.

[@QuakerLady]

I love when Stephen gets a chance to sing. James Taylor and John Prine are favorites of mine.

[@sadiqmohamed681]

That was awesome! This song was first released in 1966!!!!!!!

[@kdub1242]

When you're awesomely talented like these guys, it's easy to create great sounding music at the drop of a hat.

[@lisahilton9616]

WOW! Will probably watch this several times and then again. Feeling Groovy...

[@ericbeaulieu4843]

Gorgeous,that's a real swell update of the lyrics but honestly that song always makes me feel good and puts a smile upon my sometimes tired face.

This is hilarious 😂 This is one of my absolute favorite songs and I love this rendition ❤️😆 Look at Stephen singing like a boss with his baritone voice 🥰

[@katiedoyle5603]

Wonderful to hear Paul Simon again and kudos for your sense of humor, Sir. Thanks for the laugh, even as i'm thinking about annihilation while humming along! Wow...

I saw this live on TV and the charm, humor and Paul’s voice was extraordinary. The host and the guest were so comfortable and wonderful together. !💐❤⭐️

[@moonatikat]

I got goosebumps and laugh while crying!

[@garysmith208]

Feeling Groovy was released in 1966, 3 years after the assassination of JFK, four years after The Cuban Missile crisis. Probably written with the enthusiasm of youth because a 75-year-old probably thought the same way Paul Simon does today in 1966 when this song was originally brought out. Great song for a sunny afternoon, however.

[@lucyfoster4082]

People are not gonna stop writing songs about happy moods. Take Happy.

[@paulinealama503]

one more reason to love Stephen Colbert--all this and he can sing too!

[@garyking4032]

Brilliant. Put a big smile on my face.

[@BigGuyBoleslaw]

This is SMOOTH and nice.

[@lurvigaludde]

So brilliant, as ever.

[@BothHands1]

I fucking *LOVE* 59 Street Bridge Song. It's beautiful in its innocence and naivety. It reminds me of my youth, better days, eating LSD in a simpler time with a president who wasn't actively trying to bring about the apocalypse. Maybe a more appropriate song for this generation might be The Sound of Silence. "And the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls."

[@lucyfoster4082]

Danielle Spargo It wasn’t at all a simpler time, as someone above pointed out. We were just simpler. I think if we were innocent when we first heard this song, it will always bring us back.

[@pauliesmrt7562]

Even when Stephen is trying to sound silly he has a great voice.

[@pschroeter1]

In the late 60s I was in a Jr High School choir and we got to do this song. I think it was one of the acceptable "modern" songs they let us sing. Just saying the memory brings the hint of a tear to my eyes.

when stephen colbert is actually a pretty good singer

[@emeraldkat2167]

He's a great harmonizer. I love the song he did with Norah Jones as well. In fact, that was probably a far better song to show his talents.

[@ViaticalTree]

He went to Cornell University where he was a member of an a cappella group called Here Comes Treble. His nickname was Broccoli Rob. He performed 3 of the solos with that group. The Boner Champ had 4 including George Michael's Faith.

[@englishservices]

He played the lead part Bobby in "Company" on Broadway. He can certainly sing!

[@BusyCasual]

@@englishservices He played Harry, not Bobby. You're thinking of Neil Patrick Harris for the part of Bobby. That being said, Stephen was amazing in the role of Harry there.

[@jamesmcinnis208]

"actually"

[@downtoearth5108]

Tell you what Paul. I'm commenting here during the 2020 Covid Pandemic and this was the song (Feeling Groovy) that came to mind. The Pandemic for at least is a re-set. Slow down, get off the gravy train, follow Nature. Always time and place for every song. I've always loved your guitar playing Paul. Your a legend. Noho ora mai (Remain well Paul).

[@taketwo-e5u]

I'm an old hair metal guy from the late 70's 80's and I dabble privately with a guitar just for fun.
