SIMON & GARFUNKEL - A Hazy Shade Of Winter (1967)

"A Hazy Shade of Winter" is a song written by Paul Simon, recorded and released by Simon & Garfunkel in 1967, and then included on their 1968 album, "Bookends" (although it also appeared on their Live from New York City, 1967). It peaked at #13 on the Billboard Hot 100 making it the second highest-charting song on the album after "Mrs. Robinson", which reached #1when it was released on the back of its inclusion on the soundtrack of The Graduate. Critic Richie Unterberer described the song as "one of Simon and Garfunkel's best songs, and certainly one of the toughest and more rock-oriented".
