Paul Simon - You Can Call Me Al
Artist: Paul Simon is an iconic American singer-songwriter (born 1941), famed for Simon & Garfunkel hits before his groundbreaking solo career blending folk, pop, world music, and introspective lyrics.
Song: Lead single from 1986’s Graceland album. Catchy midlife crisis anthem with South African-inspired rhythms, iconic bass solo, and humorous chorus born from a real name mix-up.
Fun fact: The “Al” and “Betty” names came from a 1970s party where composer Pierre Boulez mistakenly called Paul “Al” and his wife Peggy “Betty”—sparking the chorus. The hilarious video with Chevy Chase (who towers over 5’3” Simon) became legendary.
