Cover of "I've Got a Feeling"

Towards the end someone sings background vocals. It doesn't sound like Stone, so I'm wondering who it is. Maybe Jeff?

The 1970 Paul Simon song that made Sting want to become a better songwriter: “It was huge” (Far Out)

>Simon has been one of Sting’s defining mentors since day one. Like many of his peers, it was Simon’s ability to capture the meticulous technicolour of existence in his words, blending worlds between genres and cultures with oftentimes infectious melodies and poetic lyricisms, that inspired him to one day want to do the same.

You guys can probably guess what that song was.

The day in 1968 when Andy Summers got to jam with Jimi Hendrix (Far Out Magazine)

>It was late 1966 when Summers met America’s most iconic guitarist in the flesh. Jimi Hendrix had only just arrived in London from New York for a couple of years, having played the Greenwich Village clubs fronting Jimmy James and the Blue Flames before a chance encounter with producer and manager Chas Chandler brought Seattle hopeful across the Atlantic.

The 1972 Black Sabbath song that almost featured Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham (Far Out Magazine)

>Being a big fan of Sabbath, Bonzo was struck by how well the song ‘Supernaut’ grooved and offered to play on the track. You can hear why it would have got under Bonham’s skin. ‘Supernaut’ has a rare thing where the riff sounds enormous without ever becoming sluggish, and Ward’s playing gives it a kind of sideways swing that keeps the whole track moving. Bonham loved that sort of weight, where the drums were not just keeping time but shoving the song forward, so the idea of him wanting a crack at it makes perfect sense.

Song About He and Fisher

Italics mine:

>As an artist, Simon had many facets. He started his mainstream career as the singer and songwriting mastermind of Simon & Garfunkel, the duet that defined the '70s, and once he and Art Garfunkel broke up amid a nasty feud, he went on to write songs for other artists and have an amazing solo career. In 1983, he released his sixth solo studio album, "Heart and Bones," which included a song by the same name about he and Fisher.
