[edit] Notes
Recorded in 1975, this album produced at least three hits, the title track, "My Little Town", and "50 Ways To Leave Your Lover." It won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 1976, as did Graceland in 1987. Simon's acceptance speech for the Album of the Year award was memorable in that he jokingly thanked Stevie Wonder, who had won the award the two previous years for Innervisions and Fulfillingness' First Finale, for not releasing an album that year. Wonder won the award again for Songs in the Key of Life in 1977.
The liner notes for "My Little Town" contain this quote from "Crow" by Ted Hughes:
- To hatch a crow, a black rainbow
- Bent in emptiness
- over emptiness
- But flying
"My Little Town" reunited Simon with former partner Art Garfunkel for the first time since 1970.
Simon credits studio drummer Steve Gadd with creating the unique drum beat that became the hook for "50 Ways To Leave Your Lover".
