Art Garfunkel
Simon & Garfunkel were an American folk rock duo consisting of singer-songwriter Paul Simon and singer Art Garfunkel. They were one of the bestselling music groups of the 1960s and became counterculture icons of the decade's social revolution, alongside artists such as the Beatles, the Beach Boys, and Bob Dylan. Their biggest hits—including "The Sound of Silence" (1964), "Mrs. Robinson" (1968), "The Boxer" (1969), and "Bridge over Troubled Water" (1970)—reached number one on singles charts worldwide.
The duo met in elementary school in Queens, New York, in 1953, where they learned to harmonize together and began writing original material. By 1957, under the name Tom & Jerry, the teenagers had their first minor success with "Hey Schoolgirl", a song imitating their idols The Everly Brothers. In 1963, aware of a growing public interest in folk music, they regrouped and were signed to Columbia Records as Simon & Garfunkel. Their debut, Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M., sold poorly, and they once again disbanded; Simon returned to a solo career, this time in England. In June 1965, a new version of "The Sound of Silence", overdubbed with electric guitar and drums, became a major U.S. AM radio hit in 1965, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100. They reunited to release a second studio album, Sounds of Silence, and tour colleges nationwide. On their third release, Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme (1966), the duo assumed more creative control. Their music was featured in the 1967 film The Graduate, giving them further exposure. Bookends (1968), their next album, topped the Billboard 200 chart[2] and included the number-one single "Mrs. Robinson" from the film.
Their often rocky relationship led to artistic disagreements, which resulted in their breakup in 1970. Their final studio record, Bridge over Troubled Water, released that year, was their most successful, becoming one of the world's best-selling albums. After their breakup, Simon released a number of acclaimed albums, including 1986's Graceland.[3] Garfunkel released some solo hits such as "All I Know", and briefly pursued an acting career, with leading roles in two Mike Nichols films, Catch-22 and Carnal Knowledge, and in Nicolas Roeg's 1980 Bad Timing. The duo have reunited several times, most famously in 1981 for "The Concert in Central Park", which attracted more than 500,000 people, the seventh-largest concert attendance in history.[4]
Simon & Garfunkel won 10 Grammy Awards and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990.[5] Bridge over Troubled Water is ranked at number 51 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.[6] Richie Unterberger described them as "the most successful folk-rock duo of the 1960s" and one of the most popular artists from the decade.[1] They are among the best-selling music artists, having sold more than 100 million records.[7]

History[edit]
Early years (1953–56)[edit]
Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel grew up in the 1940s and 1950s in the predominantly Jewish neighborhood of Forest Hills in Queens, New York, three blocks away from one another. They attended the same schools: Public School 164 in Flushing, Parsons Junior High School, and Forest Hills High School.[8][9] They were both fascinated with music; both listened to the radio and were taken with rock and roll as it emerged, particularly the Everly Brothers.[10] Simon first noticed Garfunkel when Garfunkel was singing in a fourth grade talent show, which Simon thought was a good way to attract girls; he hoped for a friendship, which started in 1953, when they appeared in a sixth grade adaptation of Alice in Wonderland.[9][11] They formed a streetcorner doo-wop group, the Peptones, with three friends, and learned to harmonize.[12][13] They began performing as a duo at school dances.[14]
Simon and Garfunkel moved to Forest Hills High School in 1955,[15] where, in 1956, they wrote their first song, "The Girl for Me"; Simon's father sent a handwritten copy to the Library of Congress to register a copyright.[14] While trying to remember the lyrics to the Everly's song "Hey Doll Baby", they created their own song, "Hey Schoolgirl", which they recorded themselves for $25 at Sanders Recording Studio in Manhattan.[16] While recording they were overheard by a promoter, Sid Prosen, who – after speaking to their parents – signed them to his independent label Big Records. They were 15.[17]
From Tom & Jerry and early recordings (1957–64)[edit]

Under Big Records, Simon and Garfunkel assumed the name Tom & Jerry; Garfunkel named himself Tom Graph, a reference to his interest in mathematics, and Simon Jerry Landis, after the surname of a girl he had dated. Their first single, "Hey Schoolgirl", was released with the B-side "Dancin' Wild" in 1957.[11][18] Prosen, using the payola system, bribed DJ Alan Freed $200 to play the single on his radio show, where it became a nightly staple.[19] "Hey Schoolgirl" attracted regular rotation on nationwide AM pop stations, leading it to sell over 100,000 copies and to land on Billboard's charts at number 49.[19] Prosen promoted the group heavily, getting them a headlining spot on Dick Clark's American Bandstand alongside Jerry Lee Lewis.[20] Simon and Gafunkel shared approximately $4,000 from the song – earning two percent each from royalties, the rest staying with Prosen.[21] They released three more singles on Big Records: "Our Song", "That's My Story", and "Don't Say Goodbye", none of them successful.[16][22][23]
After graduating from Forest Hills High School in 1958,[24] the pair continued their education should a music career not unfold. Simon studied English at Queens College, City University of New York, and Garfunkel studied architecture before switching to art history at Columbia College, Columbia University.[18][25][26] While still with Big Records as a duo, Simon released a solo single, "True or False", under the name "True Taylor".[21] This upset Garfunkel, who regarded it as a betrayal; the emotional tension from the incident occasionally surfaced throughout their relationship.[27] Their last recording with Big Records was a cover of a Jan and Dean single, "Baby Talk", but the company went bankrupt soon after release; the track was reissued on Bell Records, but failed to sell, so Tom & Jerry was dissolved.[22][28]
Simon and Garfunkel continued recording as solo artists: Garfunkel composed and recorded "Private World" for Octavia Records, and—under the name Artie Garr—"Beat Love" for Warwick; Simon recorded with the Mystics and Tico & The Triumphs, and wrote and recorded under the names Jerry Landis and Paul Kane.[22][27][29] Simon also wrote and performed demos for other artists, working for a while with Carole King and Gerry Goffin.[22][30]
After graduating in 1963, Simon joined Garfunkel, who was still at Columbia, to perform again as a duo, this time with a shared interest in folk music.[28][29] Simon enrolled part-time in Brooklyn Law School.[31] By late 1963, billing themselves as Kane & Garr, they performed at Gerde's Folk City, a Greenwich club that hosted Monday night open mic performances.[32] They performed three new songs — "Sparrow", "He Was My Brother", and "The Sound of Silence" — and attracted the attention of Columbia producer Tom Wilson, who worked with Bob Dylan.[33] As a "star producer" for the label, he wanted to record "He Was My Brother" with a new British act, the Pilgrims.[34] Simon convinced Wilson to let him and Garfunkel audition in the studio, where they performed "The Sound of Silence". At Wilson's urging, Columbia signed them.[34]
Simon & Garfunkel's debut studio album, Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M., was recorded over three sessions in March 1964 and released in October.[35] It contains four compositions by Simon, three traditional folk songs, and five folk-influenced singer-songwriter songs.[clarification needed][35] Simon was adamant that they would no longer use stage names.[36] Columbia set up a promotional showcase at Folk City on March 31, 1964, the duo's first public concert as Simon & Garfunkel.[36] The showcase, as well as other scheduled performances, did not go well.[why?]
Simon in England (1964–65)[edit]
Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M. sold only 3,000 copies on release. Its poor sales caused Simon to move to England, where he had previously visited and played some gigs.[37][clarification needed] He toured small folk clubs, befriending British folk artists such as Bert Jansch, Martin Carthy, Al Stewart, and Sandy Denny.[38][39][40] He met Kathy Chitty, who became the object of his affection and is the Kathy in "Kathy's Song" and "America".[41]
A small music publishing company, Lorna Music, licensed "Carlos Dominguez", a single Simon had recorded two years prior as Paul Kane, for a cover by Val Doonican that sold well.[42] Simon visited Lorna to thank them, and the meeting resulted in a publishing and recording contract. He signed to the Oriole label and released "He Was My Brother" as a single.[42] Simon invited Garfunkel to stay for the summer of 1964.[42]
Near the end of the season, Garfunkel returned to Columbia for class, and Simon surprised his friends by saying that he would return to the States as well.[43] He resumed his studies at Brooklyn Law School for one semester, partially at his parents' insistence. He returned to England in January 1965, now certain that music was his calling.[44] In the meantime, his landlady, Judith Piepe, had compiled a tape from his work at Lorna and sent it to the BBC in hopes they would play it.[44] The demos aired on the Five to Ten morning show, and were instantly successful. Oriole had folded into CBS by that point, and hoped to record a new Simon album.[45] Simon recorded his first solo album, The Paul Simon Songbook, in June 1965 and featured future Simon & Garfunkel staples including "I Am a Rock" and "April Come She Will". CBS flew Wilson over to produce the record, and he stayed at Simon's flat.[45] The album was released in August; although sales were poor, Simon felt content with his future in England.[46]
Meanwhile, in the United States, a late-night DJ at WBZ-FM in Boston played "The Sound of Silence", where it was popular with a college audience.[47] It was picked up the next day along the East Coast of the United States, down to Cocoa Beach, Florida. Wilson, inspired by the folk rock sound of the Byrds' cover of "Turn! Turn! Turn!" and Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone", created a rock remix of the song using studio musicians. The remix was issued in September 1965, where it reached the Billboard Hot 100.[48] Wilson had not informed the duo of plan, and Simon was "horrified" when he first heard it.[48] Garfunkel graduated in 1965, returning to Columbia University to do a master's degree in mathematics.[26][49]
Mainstream breakthrough and success (1965–66)[edit]

By January 1966, "The Sound of Silence" had topped the Hot 100, selling over one million copies.[50] Simon reunited with Garfunkel in New York, leaving Chitty and his friends in England behind. CBS demanded a new album, to be called Sounds of Silence to ride the wave of the hit.[51] Recorded in three weeks, and consisting of rerecorded songs from The Paul Simon Songbook plus four new tracks, Sounds of Silence was rush-released in mid-January 1966, peaking at number 21 Billboard Top LPs chart.[52] A week later, "Homeward Bound" was released as a single, entering the USA top ten, followed by "I Am a Rock" peaking at number three.[52] The duo supported the recordings with a nationwide tour of America, while CBS continued their promotion by re-releasing Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M., which charted at number 30.[53] Despite the commercial and popular success, the duo received critical derision, as many considered them a manufactured imitation of folk music.[52]
As they considered The Sounds of Silence a "rush job" to capitalize on their sudden success, Simon & Garfunkel spent more time crafting the follow-up. It was the first time Simon insisted on total control in aspects of recording.[54] Work began in 1966 and took nine months.[55] Garfunkel considered the recording of "Scarborough Fair" to be the point at which they stepped into the role of producer, as they were constantly beside engineer Roy Halee mixing.[55] Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme was issued in October 1966, following the release of several singles and sold-out college campus shows.[56] The duo resumed their college circuit tour eleven days later, crafting an image that was described as "alienated", "weird", and "poetic".[57] Manager Mort Lewis also was responsible for this public perception, as he withheld them from television appearances unless they were allowed to play an uninterrupted set or choose the setlist.[57] Simon, then 26, felt he had "made it" into an upper echelon of rock and roll, while retaining artistic integrity; according to his biographer Marc Eliot, this made him "spiritually closer to Bob Dylan than to, say, Bobby Darin".[58] The duo chose William Morris as their booking agency after a recommendation from Wally Amos, a mutual friend of Wilson.[58]
During the sessions for Parsley, Simon and Garfunkel recorded "A Hazy Shade of Winter"; it was released as a single, peaking at number 13 on the national charts.[55] Similarly, they recorded "At the Zoo" for single release in early 1967; it charted at number 16.[59] Simon began work for their next album around this time, telling High Fidelity that "I'm not interested in singles anymore".[60] He developed writer's block, which led to no new album on the horizon for 1967.[61] Artists at the time were expected to release two or three albums each year, and the lack of productivity worried Columbia executives.[60] Amid concerns for Simon's idleness, Columbia Records chairman Clive Davis arranged for up-and-coming producer John Simon to kick-start the recording.[62] Simon was distrustful of label executives; on one occasion, he and Garfunkel recorded a meeting with Davis, who was giving a "fatherly talk" on speeding up production, to laugh at it later.[63] The rare television appearances at this time saw the duo performing on network broadcasts as The Ed Sullivan Show, The Mike Douglas Show, and The Andy Williams Show in 1966, and twice on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour in 1967.[citation needed]
Meanwhile, director Mike Nichols, then filming The Graduate, had become fascinated with Simon & Garfunkel's records, listening to them extensively before and after filming.[64] He met Davis to ask for permission to license Simon & Garfunkel music for his film. Davis viewed it as a perfect fit and envisioned a bestselling soundtrack album.[58] Simon was not as receptive and was cautious of "selling out". However, after meeting Nichols and being impressed by his wit and the script, he agreed to write new songs for the film.[58] Leonard Hirshan, a powerful agent at William Morris, negotiated a deal that paid Simon $25,000 to submit three songs to Nichols and producer Lawrence Turman.[65] When Nichols was not impressed by Simon's songs "Punky's Dilemma" and "Overs", Simon and Garfunkel offered another, incomplete song, which became "Mrs. Robinson"; Nichols loved it.[65]
Studio time and low profile (1967–68)[edit]
Simon & Garfunkel's fourth studio album, Bookends, was recorded in fits and starts from late 1966 to early 1968. Although the album had long been planned, work did not begin in earnest until late 1967.[66] The duo were signed under an older contract that specified the label pay for sessions,[63] and Simon & Garfunkel took advantage of this, hiring viola and brass players and percussionists.[67] The record's brevity reflects its concise and perfectionist production; the team spent over 50 hours recording "Punky's Dilemma", for example, and rerecorded vocal parts, sometimes note by note, until they were satisfied.[68] Garfunkel's songs and voice took a lead role on some of the songs, and the harmonies for which the duo was known gradually disappeared. For Simon, Bookends represented the end of the collaboration and became an early indicator of his intentions to go solo.[69]
Prior to release, the band helped put together and performed at the Monterey Pop Festival, which signaled the beginning of the Summer of Love on the West Coast.[70] "Fakin' It" was issued as a single that summer and found only modest success on AM radio; the duo were much more focused on the rising FM format, which played album tracks and treated their music with respect.[71] In January 1968, the duo appeared on a Kraft Music Hall special, Three for Tonight, performing ten songs, largely taken from their previous album.[72] Bookends was released by Columbia Records in April 1968, 24 hours before the assassination of civil rights movement activist Martin Luther King Jr., which spurred nationwide outrage and riots.[73] The album debuted on the Billboard Top LPs in the issue dated April 27, 1968, climbing to number one and staying at that position for seven non-consecutive weeks; it remained on the chart as a whole for 66 weeks.[70] Bookends received such heavy orders weeks in advance of its release that Columbia was able to apply for award certification before copies left the warehouse, a fact it touted in magazine ads. The album became the duo's bestselling to date, helped by the attention for the Graduate soundtrack ten weeks earlier, creating an initial combined sales figure of over five million units.[74]
Davis had predicted this, and suggested raising the list price of Bookends by one dollar to $5.79, above the then standard retail price, to compensate for a large poster included in vinyl copies.[74][75] Simon scoffed and viewed it as charging a premium on "what was sure to be that year's best-selling Columbia album". According to biographer Marc Eliot, Davis was "offended by what he perceived as their lack of gratitude for what he believed was his role in turning them into superstars".[74] Rather than implement Davis' plan, Simon & Garfunkel signed a contract extension with Columbia that guaranteed them a higher royalty rate.[74] At the 1969 Grammy Awards, the lead single "Mrs. Robinson" became the first rock and roll song to receive Record of the Year, and also won Best Contemporary Pop Performance by a Duo or Group.[76]
Growing apart and final album (1969–70)[edit]
Bookends, alongside the Graduate soundtrack, made Simon & Garfunkel the biggest rock duo in the world.[74] Simon was approached by producers to write music for films or license songs; he turned down Franco Zeffirelli, who was preparing to film Brother Sun, Sister Moon, and John Schlesinger, who was preparing to film Midnight Cowboy.[74] In addition to Hollywood proposals, Simon declined a request by producers from the Broadway show Jimmy Shine (starring Simon's friend Dustin Hoffman, also the lead in Midnight Cowboy).[77] He collaborated briefly with Leonard Bernstein on a sacred mass before withdrawing from the project due to "finding it perhaps too far afield from his comfort zone".[77]
Garfunkel began acting, and played Captain Nately in the Nichols film Catch-22 based on the novel of the same name. Simon was to play the character of Dunbar, but screenwriter Buck Henry felt the film was already crowded with characters and wrote Simon's part out.[78][79] Filming began in January 1969 and lasted about eight months, longer than expected.[80][81] The production endangered the duo's relationship;[79] Simon had completed no new songs, and the duo planned to collaborate after filming ended.[79] Following the end of filming in October, the first performance of what was planned to be their last tour took place in Ames, Iowa.[82] The US leg of the tour ended in the sold-out Carnegie Hall on November 27.[83][84] Meanwhile, the duo, working with director Charles Grodin, produced an hourlong CBS special, Songs of America, a mixture of scenes featuring notable political events and leaders concerning the USA, such as the Vietnam War, Martin Luther King, John F. Kennedy's funeral procession, Cesar Chavez and the Poor People's March. It was broadcast only once, due to tension at the network regarding its content.[85][86]
Bridge over Troubled Water, Simon & Garfunkel's final studio album, was released in January 1970 and charted in over 11 countries, topping the charts in 10, including the Billboard Top LP's chart in the US and the UK Albums Chart.[87][88] It was the best-selling album in 1970, 1971 and 1972 and was at that time the best-selling album of all time.[89] It was also CBS Records' best-selling album before the release of Michael Jackson's Thriller in 1982.[90] The album topped the Billboard charts for 10 weeks and stayed in the charts for 85 weeks.[89] In the United Kingdom, the album topped the charts for 35 weeks, and spent 285 weeks in the top 100, from 1970 to 1975.[89] It has since sold over 25 million copies worldwide.[91][92] "Bridge over Troubled Water", the lead single, reached number one in five countries and became the duo's biggest seller.[13] The song has been covered by over 50 artists,[93] including Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Aretha Franklin, Willie Nelson, Roy Orbison, and Josh Groban.[94] "Cecilia", the follow-up, reached number four in the US, and "El Condor Pasa" hit number 18.[13] A brief British tour followed the album release, and the duo's last concert as Simon & Garfunkel took place at Forest Hills Stadium.[95] In 1971, the album won six awards at the 13th Annual Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year.
Breakup, rifts, and reunions (1971–1990)[edit]
The recording of Bridge over Troubled Water was difficult and Simon and Garfunkel's relationship had deteriorated. "At that point, I just wanted out," Simon later said.[96] Garfunkel hoped for a two-year break from and did not intend to pursue a film career; likewise, Simon did not intend to begin a solo career.[97][clarification needed] At the urging of Simon's wife, Peggy Harper, he called Davis to confirm the duo's breakup.[98] For the next several years, the duo would only speak "two or three" times a year.[99]
In the 1970s, the duo reunited several times. Their first reunion was a benefit concert for presidential candidate George McGovern at New York's Madison Square Garden in June 1972.[13] In 1975, they reconciled when they visited a recording session with John Lennon and Harry Nilsson.[100] For the rest of the year, they attempted to make the reunion work, but their collaboration only yielded one song, "My Little Town", that was featured on Simon's Still Crazy After All These Years and Garfunkel's Breakaway.[100] It peaked at number nine on the Hot 100. In 1975, Garfunkel joined Simon for a medley of three songs on Saturday Night Live, guest-hosted by Simon.[101] In 1977, Garfunkel joined Simon for a brief performance of their old songs on The Paul Simon Special, and later that year they recorded a cover of Sam Cooke's "(What a) Wonderful World" with James Taylor.[13] Old tensions appeared to dissipate upon Garfunkel's return to New York in 1978, when the duo began interacting more often.[99] On May 1, 1978, Simon joined Garfunkel for a concert held at Carnegie Hall to benefit the hearing disabled.[102]

By 1980, the duo's solo careers were not doing well.[99] To help alleviate New York's economic decline, concert promoter Ron Delsener suggested a free concert in Central Park.[103] Delsener contacted Simon with the idea of a Simon & Garfunkel reunion, and once Garfunkel had agreed, plans were made.[104] The concert, held on September 19, 1981 attracted more than 500,000 people, at that time the largest ever concert attendance.[13] Warner Bros. Records released a live album of the show, The Concert in Central Park, which went double platinum in the US.[13] A 90-minute recording of the concert was sold to Home Box Office (HBO) for over $1 million.[105] The concert created a renewed interest in the Simon & Garfunkel's work.[106] They had several "heart-to-heart talks", attempting to put their disagreements behind them.[99] The duo planned a world tour to begin in May 1982, but their relationship grew contentious: for the majority of the tour, they did not speak to one another.[107]
Warner Bros. pushed for the duo to extend the tour and release a new studio album.[107] After recording several vocal tracks for a possible new album, Simon decided to make it his own solo album. Garfunkel refused to learn the songs in the studio and would not give up his longstanding cannabis and cigarette habits despite Simon's requests.[108] A spokesperson said: "Paul simply felt the material he wrote is so close to his own life that it had to be his own record. Art was hoping to be on the album, but I'm sure there will be other projects that they will work on together. They are still friends."[108] The material was released on Simon's 1983 album Hearts and Bones.[13] Another rift opened between the duo when the lengthy recording of Simon's 1986 album Graceland prevented Garfunkel from working with Graceland engineer Roy Halee on a Christmas album.[109]
Awards and final tour (1990–present)[edit]
In 1990, Simon and Garfunkel were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Garfunkel thanked his partner, calling him "the person who most enriched my life by putting those songs through me," to which Simon responded, "Arthur and I agree about almost nothing. But it's true, I have enriched his life quite a bit." After performing three songs, the duo left without speaking. In August 1991, Simon staged his own concert in Central Park, which was released as a live album a few months later. He declined an offer from Garfunkel to perform with him at the park.[110]

By 1993, their relationship had thawed, and Simon invited Garfunkel on an international tour.[112] Following a 21-date sold-out run at the Paramount Theater in New York and an appearance at that year's Bridge School Benefit in California, they toured the Far East.[13] They became acrimonious again for the rest of the decade.[13] Simon thanked Garfunkel at his 2001 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist: "I regret the ending of our friendship. I hope that some day before we die we will make peace with each other," adding after a pause, "No rush."[13]
In 2003, Simon and Garfunkel received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 45th Annual Grammy Awards, for which the promoters convinced them to open with a performance of "The Sound of Silence". The performance was satisfying for both, and they planned a full-scale reunion tour. The Old Friends tour began in October 2003 and played to sold-out audiences across the United States for 40 dates until mid-December,[97] earning an estimated $123 million.[113] A second U.S. leg commenced in June, 2004, consisting of twenty cities. Following a twelve-city run in Europe in 2004, they ended their nine-month tour with a free concert along Via dei Fori Imperiali, in front of the Colosseum in Rome, on 31 July 2004. It attracted 600,000 fans, more than their Concert in Central Park. In 2005, Simon and Garfunkel performed three songs for a Hurricane Katrina benefit concert in Madison Square Garden, including a performance with singer Aaron Neville.[114]
The duo at their most recent performance – the 2010 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival[111]
In February 2009, Simon and Garfunkel reunited for three songs during Simon's two-night engagement at New York's Beacon Theatre. This led to a reunion tour of Asia and Australia in June and July, 2009.[113] On October 29, 2009, they performed five songs at the 25th Anniversary Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Concert at Madison Square Garden. Their headlining set at the 2010 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival was difficult for Garfunkel, who had vocal problems. "I was terrible, and crazy nervous. I leaned on Paul Simon and the affection of the crowd," he told Rolling Stone several years later.[111] Garfunkel was diagnosed with vocal cord paresis, and the remaining tour dates were postponed indefinitely. His manager, John Scher, informed Simon's camp that Garfunkel would be ready within a year, which did not happen, damaging relations between the two. Simon continued to publicly wish Garfunkel better health and praised his "angelic" voice. Garfunkel regained his vocal strength over the course of the next four years, performing shows in a Harlem theater and to underground audiences.[111]
In 2014, Garfunkel told Rolling Stone that he believed he and Simon would tour again in future, but said: "I know that audiences all over the world like Simon and Garfunkel. I'm with them. But I don't think Paul Simon's with them."[111] Asked about a reunion in 2016, Simon stated: "Quite honestly, we don't get along. So it's not like it's fun. If it was fun, I'd say, OK, sometimes we'll go out and sing old songs in harmony. That's cool. But when it's not fun, you know, and you're going to be in a tense situation, well, then I have a lot of musical areas that I like to play in. So that'll never happen again. That's that."[115] In February 2018, Simon announced his retirement from touring.[116]
Musical style and legacy[edit]
This section needs expansion with: more description of musical and lyrical content, more on positive reception and influence. You can help by adding to it. (July 2018)
Over the course of their career, Simon & Garfunkel's music gradually moved from a basic folk rock sound to incorporate more experimental elements for the time, including Latin and gospel music.[1] Their music, according to Rolling Stone, struck a chord among lonely, alienated young adults near the end of the decade.[117]
Simon & Garfunkel received criticism at the height of their success. In 1968, Rolling Stone critic Arthur Schmidt described their music as "questionable ... it exudes a sense of process, and it is slick, and nothing too much happens."[118] New York Times critic Robert Shelton said that the duo had "a kind of Mickey Mouse, timid, contrived" approach.[119] According to Richie Unterberger of AllMusic, their clean sound and muted lyricism "cost them some hipness points during the psychedelic era ... [Simon & Garfunkel] inhabited the more polished end of the folk-rock spectrum and was sometimes criticized for a certain collegiate sterility."[1] He noted that some critics regard Simon's later solo work superior to Simon & Garfunkel.[1]
