[edit] The Sounds of Silence

In the process of researching lyrics and titles for the local high school marching band, I have learned that the album "The Sounds of Silence" does indeed take its title from the earlier Simon & Garfunkel tune, which is included as the title track to this album.

However, the 'sound' in the earlier title is, indeed, plural, and not singular. It is printed as "The Sounds of Silence" in the track listing on "Wednesday Morning, 3AM." It is also spelled that way in the liner notes on that 1964 album, which appear above Art Garfunkel's signature. In the jpg file of the album cover that accompanies this article, the title track is also written with the plural 'sounds.'

So I have taken the liberty of removing the reference to misidentification from the Wikipedia page as I found it. My guess is that the song's title conflicts with the appearance of the phrase within the lyrics -- in the first occurances of the phrase, it is written in the singular, but in the final use, it is plural.

I hope this alleviates more confusion than it creates.
