Simon and Garfunkel: "Sounds of Silence"
1966.
Not sure what to say.
It's Simon and Garfunkel.
Sounds of Silence.
If you need more info, go HERE.
I WILL say
that up until recently
I would have easily assumed
that EVERYONE knows about
and has listened to
Simon and Garfunkel
ESPECIALLY
"Sounds of Silence."
However,
my assumptions were severely challenged when,
while watching a popular "reality show"
it was revealed that there were contestants -
musicians, mind you -
who had NEVER HEARD
ANY recordings of
THE BEATLES.
>>>stunned sounds of silence<<<
How can that be?
I ask you.
Van Morrison: "Moondance"
This 1970 release
is an absolute must for any collector.
It is considered by most critics to be a classic
and one of the greatest albums of all time
for a reason.
Besides the title cut, which is indisputably a treasure,
this LP also includes what I consider to be
one of the best songs ever written -
"Crazy Love" -
among a gathering of tunes that is delicious
from beginning to end.

Columbia Jazz Festival - 1959
This 1959 recording
is a rare gem.
Just ponder the names on the cover for a moment...
OK.
Stop drooling.
And, yes,
it is as great a collection of tracks
as it appears to be.
Irv Cottler: "Around The World In Percussion"
Released in 1961,
this is Irv Cottler's unique percussive take
on some of the great "hits" of the day.
