Mother and Child Reunion Lyrics

Lyric discussion by butterfingersbeck 

Cover art for Mother and Child Reunion lyrics by Paul Simon

Regarding the musicians on this track, Paul Simon was so embarrassed at the feeble attempt at "white reggae" that he had previously written in the form of "Why Don't You Write Me" that he decided to go to Jamaica and record this track using genuine reggae musicians. Only the piano and backing vocalists were added afterwards in the USA.

There was a comic book Archie which had a bad nasty rich kid named Reggie. He was definitely NOT a 'reggae' singer. I just thought you oughta know.
