Paul Simon’s storied career has had a number of incredible moments, but perhaps the most magical took place September 19, 1981 when over 500,000 people gathered to watch him reunite with Art Garfunkel in the now historic “Concert In Central Park.”
In honor of Simon’s birthday, we look back at that concert with the video playlist below showing the concert in its entirety, because sometimes, you really can find anything on YouTube.
