Seriously, I dug up some of his old reel-to-reel music at my grandmother's house a few years back and just assumed he died in like 1955.
DJT bringing entertainers back from the dead for his inauguration.

The old boy can still put on a pretty good show, but he has slowed down a step or two in the past few years.
It's amazing at how many big songs he wrote himself.

On that album cover, he has a young, boyish face but grandpa hands.

What language were the original lyrics?
ETA, I googled and see it's originally French. I had no clue.

I was in a Taxi in Paris and the song came on in French and I later found out that is the original.

Finding out that Paul Simon can no longer sing.

Dead or alive, he'd still be better than Mariah's New Years debacle with or without lip-syncing and auto-tune.
