On March 1st, 2007, Paul was announced as the recipient of the first annual Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song, which he will receive on May 23rd, 2007. The award recognizes the profound and positive effect of popular music on the world’s culture. Upon being notified of receiving this honor, Simon said, “I am grateful to be the recipient of the Gershwin Prize and doubly honored to be the first. I look forward to spending an evening in the company of artists I admire at the award ceremony in May I can think of a few who have expressed my words and music far better than I. I’m excited at the prospect of that happening again. It’s a songwriter’s dream come true.  See Paul Simon LIVE!  Purchase yoyr Paul Simon tickets today!
