(1957 – present)

Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel are American popular musicians and Singer-songwriters known collectively as Simon & Garfunkel. They formed the group Tom and Jerry in 1957, and had their first taste of success with the minor hit “Hey Schoolgirl”. As Simon and Garfunkel, the duo rose to fame in 1965 backed by the hit single “The Sound of Silence”. Their music was featured on the landmark film The Graduate, propelling them further into the public consciousness. They are well known for their close harmonies and sometimes unstable relationship. Their last album, Bridge over Troubled Water, was marked with several delays caused by artistic differences. Simon and Garfunkel were among the most popular recording artists of the 1960s, and are perhaps best known for their songs “The Sound of Silence”, “Mrs. Robinson”, “Bridge over Troubled Water” and “The Boxer”. They have received several Grammys and are inductees of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Long Island Music Hall of Fame (2007). In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked Simon and Garfunkel #40 on their list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.

They have reunited on several occasions since their 1970 break-up, most famously for 1981’s The Concert in Central Park, which attracted more than 750,000 people.

Early history
Close friends through childhood, Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel grew up in the same Forest Hills neighborhood just blocks away from one another.

S&G fans.. get in the festive spirit with Bob Dylan's new Christmas album.. all sales go towards helping feed struggling American families. Plus, you know, it's Bob Dylan.

Bought the Collection and listened to all five albums and watched the DVD since about 5 this evening. Such beautiful music, and not one duff song... Absolutely spectacular.

Does anyone have any idea how to contact the agent or management of Simon and Garfunkel? I really want to use At The Zoo in an animation I'm making and am finding it very hard to contact them to get permission to use it. If anyone can help I'd be very grateful! Thanks!
