Kathy's Song Eva Cassidy
Kathy's Song(Full Version)-Live by Eva Cassidy. We know, of course, this song was written and performed by Paul Simon with Art Garfunkel singing vocals. On other occasions, Paul has also sung the vocals of this song. Notice I did not say Art was the first and original performer of this song.

I know that I am like the rain
There before the grace of you go I
