Paul Simon - diamond on the sole of her shoes reaction

[@Marc441]

Watching you react to this song was a pleasure. Watching you laugh, watching you smile, watching you dance in your chair. Thank you.

[@malvernchinomona3607]

I AGREE

[@andrewc318]

This was 1987 in South Africa and it marked the first time white and black peoples were allowed to a attend a concert together

[@R0CKDRIG0]

That's a common misconception, but this was filmed in Zimbabwe.

[@christinawoolley6206]

The album which contains this song has the South African infusion throughout. It’s magical…yes? Paul Simon helped spread the beauty of this sound to America. Love love love!

[@chrisalldis3375]

Beautifully put Christina, such an uplifting song.

[@ryanhill8886]

..oh yeah... the guy on the trumpet is the late great South African musicain Hugh Masekela. The backup acapello/dancing group is an amazing South African group called LadySmith Black Mambazo.

[@pamagnolia]

I enjoyed this performance but I loved your joyful reaction to it. You’re such a beautiful gift Sarah!!

[@luisrocha8779]

Everything about this music is perfect. The band, the chorus, the percussion, the joy of music, the moment !

[@fge00]

Just seeing the enjoyment she got from this song was priceless.

[@GorillasAndGardens]

Your joy is effervescent! I felt this when I first saw this on MTV in rural Texas. I had never heard these wonderful sounds and beats and language before. I’m grateful for musicians who have opened my ears and eyes and heart to the music of other cultures. Simon’s Graceland album is amazing. I still listen to it in its entirety several times a year.

[@keithadams529]

Your joy is so infectious. Suggest under African sky as another reaction.

[@MadMayorZag]

That crunchy bass is just ❤

[@sgtcrab2569]

Fretless Bass. Great!

[@margaretdusel2274]

What a gift to be with you when you heard and saw the video. Your joy was infectious! Listen to the whole album!

[@ladykaycey]

You will absolutely love Graceland, the album the song comes from. It's always been one of my top 10 albums since it's release 😊

[@jeffstevens4262]

When the workers in the South African diamond mines left work for the day, they had to have the soles of their shoes checked in case they'd trodden on any small diamonds while they were working and so could have worn them all the way home (intentionally or otherwise).

[@davemacmurchie6982]

Your enjoyment of this makes my day!

[@OhArchie]

I don' think I've ever seen you have so much fun with a reaction or be as much fun to watch as this one! Beautiful.

[@shemanic1]

with the amazing Ladysmith Black Mambazo. Wonderful. Their tune "Homeless" is one you will enjoy reacting to, so good to see you loving this.

[@jamesrawlins735]

I don't know if people remember but four years after this concert, Headman Shambala (brother of the group's leader and one of the basses seen performing here) was shot and killed by a white security guard. - it apparently was a racially motivated killing.

[@robertacrownover9314]

I remember a lot of push-back on Paul Simon for going to South Africa to work this album. South Africa was embargoed due to apartheid at the time. I thought so then, as I do now, that his statements about an unpopular and misunderstood inclusion were stunning. Simon's poetry shaped my life. Not sure if Patterns or Underground Wall performed by Simon and Garfunkel, or others colored my view more. It was a delight to watch your reaction, Sarah. Thank you for sharing your joy.

[@martifingers]

We don't really need to listen to your words - the joy is evident.

[@PowderedToastMan420]

Pauls album Graceland features an eclectic mixture of genres, including pop, rock, a cappella, zydeco, isicathamiya and mbaqanga. Simon wrote songs inspired by the recordings made in Johannesburg, collaborating with African and American artists. 🤞✌️

[@judywein3282]

Just came across this.....this was with the very famous South African group, Ladysmith Black Mambazo. I have several of their albums. They are so talented! And even more special to see in concert. Enjoyed your reaction, Miss Sarah!

[@peggybrilli2642]

I loved hearing you doing the South African singing with the clicks, rhythmic breathing, etc. It was like you were on stage with them!! Loved how happy you looked. ❤❤❤❤

[@albertrodriguez4190]

Yeah

[@pennynolan7597]

The whole album was great!!!

[@ThistleAndSea]

SO much fun! 😄 That whole Graceland album is just wonderful. 💕Ladysmith Black Mambazo is a treasure!

[@Buddha-of8fk]

I seen Lady Smith Black Mambazo years ago. It was probably was one of the most fun l had a concert.

[@trevorporter4776]

What a delight you are. Love the joy and fun in your epressions. Wonderful.

[@izzonj]

There's nothing more beautiful than Sarah totally enjoying a song!❤

[@dagmar.6954]

Such a great song! Paul Simon is such a great singer songwriter. After his success with Simon & Garfunkel in the 60's, Paul Simon went solo in 1970. He has a huge library of songs such as "Mother & Child Reunion", "Me & Julio Down By The Schoolyard", "50 Ways To Leave Your Lover", "Still Crazy After All These Years", "Gone At Last", "My Little Town", "Kodachrome", "Loves Me Like A Rock", "The Boy In The Bubble" etc.

[@susangirardi3655]

On my list of favorite albums.

[@michaelcoffey1991]

Paul Simon is forever in my heart for Graceland one of the few albums i skip no track on, was a delight to see you fall in love

[@brendamilloy2557]

This is just amazing, marvelous, brilliant and a joy to see! I can never get enough of this video/song.

[@paulschakelaar2687]

Wonderful reaction you were wonderful. Now you should react to the other awesome song called UNDER AFRICAN SKIES. We want to see you do that one dear.

[@djacidkingcidguerreiro9780]

Great music, video and reaction.

[@spinblackcircles]

I don’t even watch reaction videos but this was special. Amazing how you didn’t even talk over the song and just vibed. The joy on your face was amazing

[@podunkcitizen2562]

Paul Simon, because he's Paul Simon, is always surrounded by the best musicians.

[@janna2245]

Diamonds - South African. Bodegas and walking blues -African American. The connection between Africa and EVERY good genre of American music is right here, and Simon knew exactly what he was doing.

[@whatsthescore1289]

Loved your reaction to this song and the performance from Ladysmith Black Mambazo. The album came out in the 1980s. I miss great musicianship.

[@CCharlyC]

I have watched this vidio 200 times at least and I feel the same way as you every time!

[@normanmart7933]

Love your smile Sarah, check this out from same concert Paul Simon - Under African Skies (Live from The African Concert, 1987) you'll love it

[@Gonts64]

This is from the album that is hands down my favorite of the 80s. Watching your joy as you listened to it, brought me back to when I first heard it. ❤️

[@rk41gator]

Such great energy. Joy!

[@JaimeMesChiens]

Sarah, will you please share link to this Paul Simon video? I don’t know what I enjoy more, the videos you share, or your pure happiness and beautiful smile. You share joy, which is exactly what I need today. I think we all can use a little-more joy in our lives. ❤ Thank you.

[@SarahDengler]

Sure, thank you 🙂 kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJ7Jao2AlL6hZqMsi=uyHXxVjKjQ4D1Uey

[@JaimeMesChiens]

Thank you so much! My mum loves Simon and Garfunkel and Paul Simon. I grew up hearing these songs. There’s another that I think you’ll love. It’s called “Call Me Al.” According to Paul Simon, this song tells the tale of somebody like himself who travels to Africa. While there encounters a spiritual experience so extraordinary that his life is instantly edified. The song just sounds fun and whimsical, initially. Then, something magical happens. I really enjoy you ans your channel. Thank you for all you time and effort to make these videos for us. ❤

This song is a diamond itself

[@aussiegardener1773]

One of my absolute favourites

[@jimdunagan4180]

This came out when I was around 14-16 and I loved it....great LP you should check it all out.

[@RoadDoug]

[@4yules]

one of the best songs ever written

[@Blue-qr7qe]

[@manicmonday-3833]

Hi Sarah! Please do 'Oktaf Kanis - Starlight' thanks :)

[@wandamanning9198]

Girl did I enjoy your reaction. The Graceland album by Paul Simon is full of gems. It's hard to pick a bad song. Just looked through your video list and you have another SUBSCRIBER!!!

[@TheDivayenta]

The wonderful group performing with Paul is Ladysmith Black Mbazo from RSA. ❤ Hugh Masekela on trumpet. For more fabulous fabulous Afro - World Beat, watch Peter Gabriel ‘s In Your Eyes live from his Secret Wirld Tour v

[@davidpost428]

I recommended this near the statt of your Channel. Happy that you got to experience this from his concert in Africa with Ladysmith Black Mambazo.

[@achileacesar2236]

This album Graceland, is completaly amazing.

[@unichusettsofmassadversity9705]

Ladysmith Black Mombazo 🥰😻😍. My first experience was the album Shaka Zulu - highly recommend the entire album !

[@ryan23791]

This reaction made my night, Sarah. Lots of joy.

[@CCharlyC]

I HOPE you watched the Whole Concert Young Lady!!

[@kathylee1261]

I loved seeing a young person enjoy it as much as we did when it came out.

[@jeremyholmes3911]

Imo one of the top albums / concerts of the 20th century. If you can't tap your foot to this .. well I don't know what to say . I was lucky enough to see ladysmith before Joseph passed ,its something else. And Paul of course , master songwriter of the highest calibre surrounded by amazing musos ..

[@SLorenziify]

Oh man I've got the Graceland LP, bought as soon as it was released. One of my treasures.

[@silverliningsplaybook9859]

[@joegutierrez4]

Girl your face and expression was priceless 😂 I love Paul Simon this song always makes me smile and pick me up the backup singers were awesome.

[@DanSpengler]

This song is a contender for my favorite all time lyrics. The album is one of the few albums I consider perfect from start to finish, not a bad song on the album IMO.

[@daledodson1279]

Probably the best reaction video I have ever seen! ❤ Pure Joy on your face!!

[@wadsworthaaron]

It is so beautiful to see the joy in your eyes that this music brings. Thanks for the wonderful reactions.

[@neilbaldwin1492]

[@cynergy4]

Love this song, love this whole album, love the musical genius of Paul Simon, love that he spotlights African music like Ladysmith Black Mombazo, and love your joyous reaction!

[@HeroInTheSun]

This kinda church is so much fun.. sadly I received so much hate from these ppl for being with one of them.

[@JasonPhelan49]

THE SMILE ON YOUR FACE IS THE GREATEST REACTION TO THIS SONG. YOU ARE AWESOME.

[@lisafayepranger8561]

I just love this song so much. Also....Late in the Evening (S and G) and Hearts and Bones by him and Graceland.

[@SandraLovesSun]

I am a new subscriber as of just the other day. I am wondering where you are from! Pretty amazing you have not heard these songs before (I watched your John Denver and Jimmy Buffet reactions). I think it's fantastic you are hearing them now. I am wondering where you are from as these songs have been in my life for decades and stir me, as well. Neat to connect this way! Blessings!

[@realQuestion]

good-ass song, have to have some respect 👍

[@howiehowie-tt1pk]

The album Graceland is the best ever

Love your channel ❤

[@ryanhill8886]

Thumbs up. If you have not done it already check out "Under African Skies" a duet between Simon and the great South African singer Miriam Makeba. Also "You can call me Al". Like "Diamonds...", both songs address aspects of the African diaspora and are infused with African rhythms. Also check out songs/videos by a South African group called 'Savuka'

[@petersalter9359]

perfect reaction
