This is the original early evening edition of the news Aug.03.1966.
"7 O'Clock News/Silent Night" is the twelfth and final track on Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme,
a 1966 album by Simon and Garfunkel.
The track consists of an overdubbing of two contrasting recordings: a simple arrangement of the
Christmas carol "Silent Night", and a simulated "7 O'Clock News" bulletin of the actual events of 3 August 1966.
The "Silent Night" track consists of Simon and Garfunkel singing the first verse twice over, accompanied by a piano.
The voice of the newscaster is that of Charlie O'Donnell, then a radio disc jockey. As the track progresses,
the song becomes fainter and the news report louder.
Matthew Greenwald calls the effect "positively chilling". Bruce Eder describes the track as "a grim and ironic
(and prophetic) comment on the state of the United States in 1966".
