The Sound of Silence
In 1965 Tom Wilson, who had produced Dylan's "Bringing It All Back Home" and "Like a Rolling Stone" decided to experiment with electrifying the Simon &amp; Garfunkel song "The Sound of Silence". An acoustic version of "The Sound of Silence" had been released on the Simon &amp; Garfunkel album "Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M.". As he did with Dylan's version of "The House of the Rising Sun", Wilson employed a band to record an electric backing track for the song, without Paul Simon's or Art Garfunkel's knowledge. Bobby Gregg was once again the drummer Wilson employed in the band creating this backing track. The version of "The Sound of Silence" incorporating the electric band backing track became a #1 hit and was released on the Simon &amp; Garfunkel album "Sounds of Silence". It was also listed by "Rolling Stone" as the #156 song of all time.
