About This Track

“The Boxer” is a folk ballad written by Paul Simon in 1968 and first recorded by Simon and Garfunkel. It was released as the follow up single to their number one hit “Mrs. Robinson”, and reached #7 in the US charts. It later appeared on their last studio album, Bridge over Troubled Water, along with its B-side “Baby Driver”. It is particularly known for its plaintive refrain, in which the singer sings the tune as ‘lie-la-lie’, and the memorable finger-picking guitar played by guitarist Fred Carter, Jr. . Rolling Stone ranked the song #105 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
