180 RAgm vinyl LP pressing with download card. Digitally re-mastered and expanded 25th Anniversary edition of this groundbreaking album from the iconic singer/songwriter. In 1986, Graceland sold 14 million copies worldwide and garnered both the Album and Song of the Year Grammy in 1987. Simon and the members of Ladysmith Black Mambazo performed on Saturday Night Live and appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone. It generated three hit singles and it kept Paul Simon and the Graceland tour on the road for five years. It's music was heard across the globe. Today, it's music and it's reputation still reach generations of music enthusiasts yet so many are unaware of how pivotal that one album was during the 1980 s, how it helped birth the idea of World Music and revived the career of one of America's most important songwriters. How it influenced the political progress of South Africa a country divided by institutionalized racism, causing and then transcending years of controversy. How in fact the album came to be in the first place.

GRACELAND SHINES
By: Bruce on 15 August 2021Released in 1986, Paul Simon’s Graceland was a massive hit. The song-writing half of Simon & Garfunkel produced a set of infections pop/rock songs that people are still singing along to when they come on the radio, mainly thanks to the contribution of South African musicians. Yes, there was controversy at the time, but all these years later what remains is a sparkling set of tunes decked out in vibrant colours provided by African (and other) musicians. From swooning harmonies ("Homeless") to zydeco boogie ("All Around The World"), if you are having a grey day, this is one to bring out the sun. [104 words]
