Paul Simon told Stephen Colbert this week that he’s grown to love Frank Sinatra’s version of “Mrs. Robinson.”
“It’s so funny”! Simon tells Colbert. He also says his favorite cover of any of his songs is, of course, Aretha Franklin singing “Bridge Over Troubled Water.”
The Colbert-Simon interview is below and it’s excellent. I think Paul was promoting the Alex Gibney doc about him called “In Restless Dreams.” It’s in two parts. It’s streaming somewhere. Who knows? Look around for it. Gibney did a great job. I saw it at the Hamptons Film Festival last fall.
