Recorded and released in 1975, the album produced four U.S. Top 40 hits : `` 50 Ways To Leave Your Lover '' ( # 1 ), `` Gone at Last '' ( # 23 ), `` My Little Town '' ( # 9, credited to Simon & Garfunkel ), and the title track ( # 40 ). It won two Grammy Awards for Album of the Year and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance in 1976. In Simon 's acceptance speech for the Album of the Year award, on February 28, he jokingly thanked Stevie Wonder, who had won the award the two previous years for Innervisions and Fulfillingness ' First Finale, for not releasing an album that year. ( Wonder won the award again for Songs in the Key of Life, a double album, in 1977. ) `` My Little Town '' reunited Simon with former partner Art Garfunkel on record for the first time since 1970, while `` Gone at Last '' was a duet between Simon and Phoebe Snow. The title track has been recorded by Rosemary Clooney ( on her 1993 album Still on the Road ), Ray Charles ( on his 1993 album My World ), Karen Carpenter ( on her self - titled solo album released posthumously in 1996 ), and Willie Nelson ( on the soundtrack of the 2000 motion picture Space Cowboys ).
