A classic hit recently crossed my way: Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel alias Simon & Garfunkel published their masterpiece “Sound of Silence” in 1964, a long, long time before we had music streaming. It reached Gold in the Unites States and sold more than one million physical copies.
It’s a classic hit, kids are singing it in music lessons in school. Simon & Garfunkel have become a little older in the meantime but the song still sounds great.
And it is is still super popular. The original version by Simon & Garfunkel currently has 165 Mio. plays on Spotify. The heavy metal band “Disturbed” created a great remake of this song with the razor blade voice of David Draiman, it has even more than 214 Mio plays on Spotify.
