Simon & Garfunkel - “The Boxer”
Don’t mind that one actually. As with all 60s and very early 70s songs nowadays, hardly overplayed.
One from S&G that used to get played all the time but I never hear now is ‘Cecilia’. That was a 2WS FM staple in the 90s but I don’t even hear it on community radio now.

Yes, it’s like that with most 60s and 70s songs these days. Too old for commercial radio now.
Hardly hear songs like Gerry Rafferty’s “Baker Steet” anywhere now which WS used to flog mercilessly.

Where are you hearing this played often?
Haven’t heard it for years, not even on 4BH

Yep, Gold 104 flogged Cecelia back in my childhood, so much so I got sick of it.
The Boxer, Homeward Bound and America are some faves of mine - still love them.

Funny you mention “The Boxer”… I heard it a week or so go on Vintage FM and thought to myself that I hadn’t heard it for a while. Same with Baker Street.
I guess these songs today would be in the domain of the oldies Narrowcast stations.
