| Hi- can anyone tell me about any good cover versions of Kathy´s Song out there? It´s one of my favorite Paul Simon songs, and I know that he´s recorded a number of versions of it himself.

| Thanks Danny! I heard Eva Cassidy's version and it's very good. It's particularly interesting hearing those lyrics sung by a woman. |

| Mundy - an Irish singer does a very haunting version.
Personnaly I dont like any covers by Eva Cassidy - she makes the songs very bland IMO. Someone hearing a live version of Paul Simon singing this song remarked :- Oh he's copying Eva Cassidy version!! GRRR |

| Paul Live 1969 has got to be the best version! For me anyway. |

| I think my favorite version of Kathy's Song is the Simon & Garfunkel live version on The Definitive compilation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Definitive_Simon_
%26_Garfunkel
closely followed by the one on the Paul Simon Songbook album. Are there any really good S & G live albums (apart from the Central Park one)? |

| Hm... he did not actually sing on the last S&G tours. So I guess 1993?

| Thanks Bodo. Yes ,Paul and Art sang it together in 1993. A lovely version. The last solo one by Paul I have is Live In Illinois 1984. Anyone know of any after 1984. |

| Yes 1984 is also the last one I remember.
Hm, I haven't been listening to any of those 1984 concerts since ages. They are really special, only Paul and a guitar...but I wish there would be a A+++ quality recording. |
