One of the users with the nickname @koval suggested to me a great old hit from 1965. It's about a song by the legendary American duo Simon & Garfunkel. The history of this song is quite interesting and surprising. Paul Simon started creating it back in 1963 and a year later the song appeared on their debut album "Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M." and was then titled The Sounds of Silence. Unfortunately, the album was, to put it mildly, a flop and the paths of Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel briefly diverged. Paul returned to England while Art returned to study at Columbia University. In 1965 the song was increasingly played by radio stations in the US which prompted Tom Wilson, who was the music producer responsible for the song, to do what is known as overdubbing. In short, it is adding an instrumental or vocal part to a previously recorded part of a song. Interestingly, the authors themselves, that is, Simon and Garfunkel, were informed of this only after the fact, when a new version of the song was released in September 1965. And that was the moment when the duo became famous and the song itself rocketed to No. 1 on the prestigious "Billboard Hot 100" chart. Encouraged by the great success, the two men entered the studio again and recorded their second album entitled "Sound Of Silence." To this day, for more than 50 years, the song Simon & Garfunkel - Sound Of Silence has earned a very large number of covers performed by artists around the world. One of the most popular and recent covers is a song recorded by American heavy metal band Disturbed in 2015. You can see the music video for it at Disturbed - The Sound of Silence.
