The Sound of Silence: How a Remix Without Permission Made Music History

21 min • 15 mars 2024
Coming up…. the story of the breakout smash The Sound of Silence by one of the most prolific duos of the Rock Era, Simon and Garfunkel. When The Sound of Silence was first made, it was placed on an album that was floundering. The duo was so distraught by the poor sales of their debut record, that they split up, and resigned to go down a completely new career path. The historic greatness of Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel may have never been realized if it hadn’t been for a crafty A&R man who devised a plan to revitalize The Sound of Silence… by remixing and re-releasing it. But he did not reveal his plan to the two artists that he signed to a record deal. Simon and Garfunkel were livid when they heard the song, but they got over it when it went to #1. Later it would be remade by the band DISTURBED! The story of the twist and turns of a true classic, a song 60s years ahead of its time is NEXT on Professor of Rock.
