: Celebración por el 60 cumpleaños de la leyenda del boxeo Muhammad Ali que tuvo lugar en el Kodak Theatre de Hollywood el 12 de enero de 2002. Paul Simon Interpretó junto a Ladysmith Black Mambazo, "Diamonds On The Soles of her Shoes" con varias modificaciones en la letra donde hacia referencia al campeón de boxeo. Abajo la letra especial para la ocasión:

He's the greatest
He never denied it
He got diamonds on the soles of his shoes.

It's his birthday,
There's no need to hide it
Everybody knows it,
It's all over the news
Sing Ta na na, Ta na na na
He got diamonds on the soles of his shoes
Ta na na, Ta na na na
He got diamonds on the soles of his shoes
Diamonds on the soles of his shoes
Diamonds on the soles of his shoes.

People say he's crazy
He got diamonds on the soles of his shoes
Well, that's one way to lose these walking blues,
Diamonds on the soles of his shoes.

They used to call him Cassius Clay
Everybody knows who is Muhammed Ali
He's 60 years old
But he's still pretty,
He's wearing diamonds on the soles of his shoes.

And I could say Oo oo oo
As if everybody knows
What I'm talking about
As if everybody here would know
Exactly what I was talking about
Talking about diamonds on the soles of his shoes.

He fought the Thriller in Manilla
And the Rumble in the jungle of Zaire
But he's a man of Peace
That's why I came here,
To sing Diamonds on the Soles of His Shoes.
