Cecilia

Momentum

This song has not appeared on a Rotation chart, so it has no score and no receipts. The rank history below is the ledger; a score is only published once the momentum run puts it on a chart.

Why it's here

The song's rhythm originated from a late-night party where Simon, Garfunkel, and friends banged on a piano bench and recorded it with a tape recorder, later looping the section to build the track. [1] Drums on the track were played by veteran Wrecking Crew drummer Hal Blaine. [2] Simon has suggested the title refers to St. Cecilia, patron saint of music in the Catholic tradition. [3]

In culture

Every place this record has lived. A solid chip states a fact and carries the citation that earns it; a dashed one is a connection somebody drew, and carries their name instead.
