Song #399: "Gone At Last"--Paul Simon, Phoebe Snow & The Jessy Dixon Singers (1975)

Everything about this song just screams "classic gospel tune". Paul Simon shows yet another part of his vast talent, Phoebe Snow's vocal play off Simon's in absolute marvelous fashion. Then add the late, great Jessy Dixon's contributions, and the piano. Oh, that piano.

No matter how you feel, or where you are in life right now, you cannot hear this song and not finish it feeling, at the very least, a bit lifted from where you were three and a half minutes earlier. Whatever your issue is this day, my prayer is that, soon, it will be gone at last.  :)
