Which popular British rock band released a song with the same name as a 1969 song by American jazz musicians Nina Simone and Weldon Irvine?
Revolution (Nina Simone song) "Revolution" is a 1969 song by American jazz musician Nina Simone and Weldon Irvine. It was released as a single in 1969 and on the album "To Love Somebody" in 1969. The single release was split over two sides of a 45 rpm disc and these two edits were used as separate tracks on the album. The song was released the year after the Beatles' "Revolution", and is seen by some as a variation of that song. "Revolution" didn't do as well as expected and Simone has expressed surprise and disappointment at its lack of success.
I Am a Rock "I Am a Rock" is a song written by Paul Simon. It was first performed by Simon alone as the opening track on his album "The Paul Simon Songbook" which he originally recorded and released in August 1965, only in the United Kingdom. Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel, as the American folk rock duo Simon and Garfunkel, re-recorded it on December 14, 1965, and included as the final track on their album "Sounds of Silence", which they released on January 17, 1966.
