The Roots

The Weeknd's Beauty Behind the Madness hit "Can't Feel My Face" is one of the biggest songs of the year, and will no doubt go on to become a standard for years to come. Showing love to the tune right now are folk duo Black Simon & Garfunkel (a.k.a. the Roots' Questlove and Kirk Douglas), who gave the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon crowd a softened take on the numbed-out number.

Sporting matching Bookends turtlenecks, the twosome strummed and hummed their way through the dance hit, subverting its funky flow for something a tad more sorrowful. Adding to the piece, amazingly, was the real Art Garfunkel, who added a third part to the harmony to the Weeknd track before seguing into "The Boxer." 

You'll find the trio's team-up down below.
