High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Songs From The Capeman is the ninth studio album by Paul Simon, released in 1997. It contains Simon`s own performances of songs from the Broadway musical he wrote and produced called The Capeman augmented by members of the original cast. A departure musically from his earlier work, the album features doo wop, rock `n` roll and Puerto Rican rhythms. The stage show was a commercial flop, losing $11 million, and the album did not sell well. It peaked at #42 on the Billboard 200.
