No doubt at all, it's him.

As a Paul Simon/Paul McCartney fan I was surprised to see this video here in your channel cause I stumbled across it years ago and completely adored it. I said to myself "Hey, I've been here before!" And now with the PW episodes and songs I access it in a daily basis lol

One of my favourite moments from my teens. Even better was how they give Simon a birthday cake that very same show cos it was actually his birthday.

+barttheanorak There was also a mention earlier in the show marking what would have been John Lennon's 50th birthday that week. I'm trying to work out the equivalent nowadays - I can't imagine many stars born in the mid-60s meaning much to the average CBBC audience...

My two favorite people

Paul Simon remained friends to this day with Kathy Chitty ,the woman whom he met and became involved with romantically during his time in England in 1964. She was a teenager at the time. He wrote at least two songs about her ( Homeward Bound , Kathy's Song) and she is pictured on the cover of his album Paul Simon Songbook. She was shy and preferred not to continue with the relationship when Paul started to become famous with Art Garfunkel

McCartney’s laugh at 0:27 gives it away it’s really him. I doubt a faker would nail the laugh or even bother doing a little chuckle

His voice has changed a lot over the years and I think his way of talking and accent matches the era

that's so thoughtful paul called paul

Only an English person would say "ta ta" spontaneously.

It's Paul. A faker would have chosen someone like Art Garfunkle!

The clincher for me is that Paul Simon doesn't question that it's him. Also, Paul McCartney appeared on this show in person more than once. And they'd just played his latest video a few minutes before. And done a segment about John Lennon's 50th birthday earlier. Plus, if it was all a wind-up, it's notably missing a punchline.

Why not? Paul Simon seems convinced. And it's not like he didn't go on the show himself in person more than once, e.g.: kzread.info/dash/bejne/pqVp26OCqaesc8o.html (P.S. Just for future reference, he's Sir Paul, but if he ever gets a peerage, he'd be Lord McCartney. Never "Sir McCartney", though. Don't ask me why, but that's the way it works.)

7 жыл бұрын

It's possible I've been swayed because I've got the whole episode. There was a slot early on about John Lennon (being the week of what would have been his 50th birthday), and they'd followed that up a bit later by showing Paul McCartney's latest video, a live version of the Beatles track Birthday. So when Paul apparently turns up during the phone-in on Paul Simon's birthday... well, it all fits together nicely. Paul actually appeared on the show in person more than once, so the possibility of it being an impostor never even occurred to me. I don't think there's anything unusual about someone who doesn't usually introduce himself using his full name doing so on the phone. And I know what you're saying about 'prank' calls, but back then the fashion was to do this: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aJaardSelMzcfbg.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/gHmfpJRuhsLVp5s.html If this is an impersonator, what's the punchline? Surely they'd have done something funny to make one of the Pauls look a bit silly, wouldn't they? I could be wrong, but I don't see a joke here.
