Musical Interlude: My Little Town (1975)

I've always been under the impression that "My Little Town" was a solo hit for Art Garfunkel when it was released in 1975. It never occurred to me that it was really the last single by Simon & Garfunkel. Paul Simon wrote it, but the song sat unused until it was released concurrently on both performers' solo albums, Simon's "Still Crazy After All These Years" & Garfunkel's "Breakaway". Truth is, I never saw an actual vinyl single in the stores, even the second hand ones.

About the only time I'd heard it on the radio, the DJ identified it only as a Garfunkel record. Go figure.

Edit: 7/21/17: Had to replace the video. This version has the cover of the "Essential" Simon & Garfunkel CD on the screen.
