DONATE: paypal.me/franksbasscovers MOTHER & CHILD REUNION - PAUL SIMON | FRANKS BASS COVERS & TAB Released: January 17, 1972 The Song Paul Simon’s first single as a solo artist. This is song is interpreted differently by everyone. Simon indicated, in multiple interviews, this was about the loss of a beloved pet. One take (of many) is that it’s about the Beatles breakup and Paul Simon urging them to get back together Look at the first verse: Oh little darling of mine (Little darling from "Here comes the sun") I can't for the life of me remember a sadder day (The day they broke up) I know they said let it be (obviously a reference to let it be) but it just don't work out that way. ...etc Simon said of the song that it "became the first reggae hit by a non-Jamaican white guy outside Jamaica. Paul Simon was ahead of the 1970’s trend when he released this reggae-infused song: Johnny Nash went to #1 US later in 1972 with "I Can See Clearly Now," and Eric Clapton topped the chart with "I Shot The Sheriff" (a Bob Marley cover) in 1974. No. 4 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, Billboard ranked it as the No. 57 song for 1972.
