Paul Simon Reacts to Cover Versions of His Classics

Paul Simon Reacts to Cover Versions of His Classics

Paul Simon’s music is so universal, it’s been covered by Elvis and Disturbed.

The New Yorker has won 16 Grammys including three for Album of the Year. So it’s no wonder so many artists like Bob Dylan, Dawes, Spoon, and Billy Joel want to reimagine his tunes.

Disturbed has performed this cover 312 times.
