They sound exceptionally good together - you can see how carefully Andy Williams is listening, to make sure that his voice blends with Arty's and Paul's as near perfectly as anyone could wish for. The three of them perform the song like a piece of chamber music. Their reverence for the text adds to its air of mystery, but it is their attentiveness to each other that makes this performance so particularly touching.

@yankeejohn58 speaking of collabs, as soon as I heard this song with these three singing with nothing more than a microphone, an acoustic, and well... their passion. After listening to a few repeats, an idea for a fanfic starring them popped into my brain; set in the medieval period. I imagine casting Simon & Garfunkel as common serfs drafted into the chivalry to amuse the noblemen with their music. And as for Andy Williams, he'll be portraying the lead knight of the pack, on the verge of being demoted from his position when he was caught flirting with the queen, with this war being his only chance for redemption. And along the way, through thick and thin, a friendship brews.

A lot of people never realized how great a singer that Andy Williams was. That was the epitome of a super group!! I first heard this song when Paul Simon reworked the lyrics from 2 or 3 different songs into the version that was released as the lead track from the album Parsley Sage Rosemary and Thyme in 1966. I first saw this video about a year ago and it never stops giving me chills!!

Renegade Wa Andy Williams knew his limitation's as a singer. He world work with other singers in his range. Tony Bennet ...YES Beverly Sills ...NO Pavarotti ...NOSinatra...YES Maria Callas...NO Bing Crosby...NO WHAT IS THE CORECT ANSERS FOR THESE

+Renegade Wa 100 % correct! And what a monster of a song...

Andies voice is incredible I didn't even know who he was and that really bothers me. I feel like someone that has a voice like that should have been recognized much more.

+william Brown - Andy Williams also sang "Moon River" which I loved...one of my favorites!

[@cyndianderson7056]

Like Andy Williams said...they didn't need lights and dancers and all that. Pure, raw talent. That's all that's needed. And they had it. Mesmerizing.

The guitar work is the most haunting ly beautiful sound ever. Very medieval!

The only live version which accurately replicates the original studo arrangement. Exquisite.

One more angelic voice added to the two existing ones. True timeless mastery.

Incredible and perfect blending of voices...warm, velvety and comforting.

Even for my french ears, it's sound incredibly. I love it.

[@katef6154]

beautiful version of this. I swear Art Garfunkel can sing with anybody

[@rebeccakahn827]

They're really listening so intently to each other - outstanding ensemble singing!

[@fraguasrenato]

Andy Williams had a powerful voice, yet he knew how to respect the delicacy of the song and harmonize beautifully with Simon & Garfunkel. Amazing!

[@ewellfaul7026]

What an honor...to sing with Simon and Garfunkel! He sounded like one of them too! Great voices!
