"The Sound Of Silence" #1 1/1/1966

We begin 1966 with an acoustic tune that flopped on its release in '64 to where the duo split up. The song gained traction on college radio and the record was remixed, adding electric guitar, bass and drums, which was hard since the tempo was uneven. Paul Simon heard the remix on the radio and was horrified, so much that he and Art Garfunkel reunited and it felt so good, as it hit #1.
