- Some of you may have found my channel after watching some of Josh Turner's videos, particularly the Live from the Bus collection. You'll recognize Ben from those videos as well. We thought we'd do a little homage to our humble youtube cover roots. Hope you enjoy!

BOYS!! This is the content I've been waiting for. Miss you both
Yoooo thank you man :)
Thanks Josh for putting me on to this channel. I often replay Sloop John B. Subbed
Love this! Thanks to you Josh. My all time favourite.
Thank Josh, hugs from Brazil
The three of you should get together.
How benjamin is able to sing so softly and yet so high, all the more consistently all throughout his range just stuns me. When I grow up I want to be Benjamin
That's why it sounds so magical.
That’s kinda what makes Art Garfunkel such a profound singer. He’s got such feel and such a wispy, gentle voice, but over a huge range. These guys are fantastic, but that Benjamin Cooley is really channeling something awesome.
nice robert
Me too! (but I'm a 70 year old woman, so that's one of many things I apparently am not going to do when I grow up.) Can you imagine being able to sing like that?!
@@rooples.pooples he toured around as Garfunkel in a Simon & Garfunkel tribute show. He's got these songs down. You should hear him do So Long Frank Lloyd Wright on Josh Turner Guitar channel, it's beautiful.
These two young men just casually sit there and work through one of the iconic songs of the 20th Century. Finestkind!
Love how Benjamin is basically like if Mark Zuckerberg and Art Garfunkel had a son together
Too funny! But what an amazing talent! Love these guys!
Haha
Wow. Good call.
Hahahahahahaha!!! 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
God forbid!
But you made me laugh too well
loved the inclusion of the "secret" verse that was left off the recording
Guitar person: Okay, let me see if I can get this intro.
*proceeds to nail intro*
Me:
lol
cried when they sang the part, "after changes, we are more or less the same".
Hello Mary, how are you doing?
I got misty there too.
This had me absolutely floored. My jaw is on the ground. This is easily the best rendition of this song I’ve ever heard. The vocals are so freaking clean, with the balance and the harmony being just incredible. And then the restraint you guys show in service of both the melody and the lyrics takes this whole thing into the stratosphere. This is the fastest I’ve ever subscribed to anyone.
very clean indeed
definitely not better than the original, but very nice
Their harmonies compliment each other every bit as much as the original
You guys are excellent. Keep it up.
IT’S NOWHERE NEAR S AND G, AND THE HARMONY IS A BIT SHARP.
Us baritones are punching the air at those pure tenor lines 🤣
The real boxer lol😂
Best cover both instrumentally and vocally I've ever heard and I've been listening to that song since the '60s. Great job guys!
Absolutely agree with you. What a great cover both technically and harmoniously
That’s right I think the same is incredible their synchrony voice and guitars its just beatifull
😲👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I taught the song was releases on the 70's

Well if you stumbled upon this by accident you’d be having a better day for seeing it. Instant smile appeal, well done lads, beautifully done, I smiled all the way through.
As luck would have it, I stumbled across this on my way to work.
I will now have a better day. 🤙
Can confirm this

There are a group of you who give me hope for the youth of today. I am 62 years old and I can see that you all appreciate the beauty in these classics by the singer-songwriters of the past. Thank you to each and every one of you. I am in awe of your talent.
Amen !
Agree, Jeff. Gives me hope!
51 here and agree with every word you said...
Isn't it great?! I'm 68 and am thrilled to see this too.
One of the best covers of this song I’ve ever heard. Stunning.
As a big Simon & Garfunkel fan, let me say... these two guys just blew me away. Standing ovation. Wow. I hope someone shows Paul and Art this video. I think they'd be hugely impressed. If these two guys ever do a S&G tribute tour, I'll be in the audience. Bravo, guys.
I enjoy you guys just as much as Simon and Garfunkel, which is a lot.
Way better than i was expecting, the guitar is just as perfect as the voices, God bless you boys.
Keep it true this way!
everytime I play this song, nobody notices that I sing the extra lyrics
well done guys
poor you
Have heard this song hundreds of time and have never heard that extra lyrics. Even saw them in concert and they didn't sing it.
H
Someone snuck it in.
I noticed..my ma lived these guys and played her heart out on guitar!Rip momma
Beautiful..my momma played guitar n loved this song.Greatful for her teaching me guitar
Rest well...sad loss of talent.Keep livng your music mom!💘
That extra verse that was cut from the record is actually my favorite line, shame they left it out
CZcams algorithm did a good job today. This is amazing, great job!
I accidently came across this today. This is one of the most amazing versions of one of my all time favorite songs. AWESOME!!!!!!
One of my favorites from my youth. Beautiful rendition. Thank you!
Damn gentlemen, this is sweet. The best part for me is the blending of your harmonies. Perfect balance.
Gentle, beautiful and eloquent. The day will come, when you both will look back on this performance and reflect on an unprecedented time that has changed us all in ways yet untold. Please--do more with Ben. Your talents mesh so well. Thank you.
Just stumbled upon this and I'm totally amazed. Included the rare middle verse too. Great vocal harmony and beautifully played. Spot on. 👍
I've been a HUGE S&G fan since about 1967 and am blown away by this version. Stunning.
MAGNIFICENT, and with an extra thumbs up for including the "missing" verse
Wow, I stumbled on this by chance. Mesmerising, lovely singing, harmonies and guitar. Great performance.
I could sit here and listen to these two sing like this all day. So soothing and relaxing. That air tight harmony just gets me!
I didn't see that coming. I have pressed a thumbs up on a dozen comments below. Something special here.
I’ve never heard that version before, it’s great. This song reminds me of my life as I was kicked out of home and lived on the street for awhile. Everything in that song happened to me over 60 years including the ice bleeding me. I use to play this album all the time in 1968 or 69. Good job
Dear Mother of God - this is absolutely BEAUTIFUL...., I grew up on Simon and Garfunkel so I am a prude when it comes to their music being covered - these guys NAILED IT.
it's great that kids of this generation had the opportunity to hear and appreciate this kind of music
BRAVO! Very nice harmony just like S&G. Thank you
I hope you don’t get tired of my comments but you ROCKED IT again! Both of you.
Absolutely beautiful beyond words. Thank you so much for the performance! Please think about perform this piece of great music in public.
I closed my eyes to enjoy the harmony vocal of these two youngsters. Really touching!
The lyrics, which are perfect, are perfectly understood with your gorgeous blend of voices and guitar! What I love about Sunday!
Great music isn’t meant for just one generation. A you guys prove that.
Thank you so much this France, very beautiful 💚🇫🇷
They are amazing!
That was excellent. The best harmonised version ever. Truly terrific.
Did not expect this. Amazing!
Absolutely beautiful!!
Obviously growing up in the 60's with all their songs, this song is STILL my favorite of all their songs! Well done. ❤
damn guys that was great. You guys are the people who could change the world
Tears were rolling down my face. Absolutely beautiful, guys.
What an amazing way to start 2021. Absolutely amazing cover. Earned yourself another subscriber. 👍🏻
Absolutely beautiful rendition, an I've been playing and listening to them for over 50 years now, very good guitar playing And coming in at the Right time with those harmonies, WOW, what a pleasure to listen to you both. 😢😮😊

This is just ... beautiful. This is a hugely important song to me and I seriously was jaw-dropped and teary-eyed through it all. Incredibly fantastic work, thank you.
Just amazing!!!
