"Sound Of Silence" Starts To Play. Seconds In Haunting Voice Sends Chills To All
By now we've heard pretty much ever single cover of our beloved classic tunes. But, thanks to the Internet, aspiring musicians and even established artists from genre's we don't typically listen to are constantly surprising us with how many different ways these songs can actually be sung. When it comes to the "Sound of Silence" a singer will usually try to mimic the original duo's honey sweet vocals. But, sometimes even a classic needs to be pushed outside of its comfort zone in order to hear it come to life in a beautiful new way!
Yet, beauty isn't the first thing that comes to mind when you first catch a glimpse of the gruff-looking man in this video clip. He looks like he belongs in a heavy metal rock band, a genre that is famous for sounding anything but soothing. With his tough exterior, he's the last person you'd think would do justice to Simon and Garfunkel's angelic harmonies. However, looks can be deceiving and the only thing South African musicians Ruhan du Toit and Deon van der Merwe from a Touch of Class are heavy in is talent.
