Paul Simon shared video of a solo home performance via social media. For the clip, the legendary singer-songwriter and guitarist delivered his classic, “Slip Slidin’ Away.”
Originally released as a single in 1977, “Slip Slidin’ Away” — featuring backing vocals from The Oak Ridge Boys — also appears on Simon’s 1977 compilation, Greatest Hits, Etc. The recording, however, comes from the Still Crazy After All These Years sessions in 1975. While a demo appeared on the 2004 reissue of the album, Simon chose, somewhat fortuitously, not to include the song on Still Crazy After All These Years. The single would become a hit in 1977 as well as a live staple, most notably with Art Garfunkel who added his iconic high harmonies to the song in the live setting.
Check out Paul Simon’s solo rendition of “Slip “Slidin’ Away” below:
