Producer Paul Ingles hosts
"The Emergence of Paul Simon," an engrossing two-hour special on the
creative output of heralded songwriter Paul Simon.
Ingles draws from archival interviews with Simon and an impressive guest
roster to explore how Simon connected with audiences in the 1960s as
part of Simon & Garfunkel, in the 1970s as a solo artist and in the
1980s when he re-emerged as a world star with the release of his
Graceland album. Guest commentators include Simon biographer Patrick
Humphries and music writers Ann Powers, Anthony
DeCurtis, Paul Zollo, Lydia Hutchinson, Jim Fusilli and more. The
program includes excerpts from several archival interviews of Simon and
features musicians Joseph Shabalala, Shawn Colvin, Deborah Holland and
several others.
By mixing Simon's music from key moments in his career with informed
commentary from musicians and music critics, "The Emergence of Paul
Simon" articulates what two generations of music lovers have found so
compelling about this thoughtful and innovative writer and performer.
