If we are talking icon anthems - memories of my Mum singing this at the top of her voice along to the vinyl and getting us kids to join in - it was definitely a family anthem for us

And another. Let’s just say the groove is well established before the vocals come in.
I got thrown out of music class at Steyning grammar school, and marched to the headmaster for a right proper bollocking for playiong this at school. ( 1982, I was 11, we'd been asked to bring in a record/song that influenced us musically and explain why )
I managed to talk my way out of trouble by convincing the Head that our teacher dropped the stylus on the wrong track
I soaked up the adulation of my class mates all week . . . Then, reality bit . . . . A big girly swot Katy in our class, told her mum . . . We were neighbours in the early 70's . . .as luck would have it her mum and my mum bumped into each other as well later that week . . . Uh oh
. . . I don't think my mum believed my story, but she was trying not to laugh. . . . The bollocking was for borrowing her record without asking. I was guilty. Lesson learnt
Saw him play Last night, still in great voice

First performed at Carnegie Hall in 1969.
Stunning song, along with The Boxer.
I fell in love with their music from ‘borrowing’ my older brother’s Simon & Garfunkel greatest hits vinyl.
