In 1965 Paul Simon teamed up with writer / composer Mike Hawker to write songs together. Hawker was famous and known for songs like:
- Helen Shapiro – Walkin’ back to happiness
And one of the songs Simon and Hawker wrote together ended up on Mercury Records in 1965.
On youtube you can hear part of the demo he made for “Build Your Love”:
But so far I have not been able to find more from the collaboration Hawker and Simon. Anyone more information?

Hi, Thanks for sending the info. The price on eBay is steep (to say the least) I think. There will be still more demo’s that we have to discover.
