Event Details

Although it has been over 40 years since Bridge Over Troubled Water was recorded, Art Garfunkel's image and signature vocal remain among the most instantly recognizable in popular music. In 1957, he and his childhood friend Paul Simon ('Tom and Jerry' as they were called then) landed a major recording contract.

In 1962 (after Garfunkel attended college), he and Simon met up again and began to rehearse - The decision became clear to get back together as a duo. They started performing as Simon & Garfunkel at the height of the folk music boom in late-1963, and within a year were signed to Columbia Records. Simon & Garfunkel maintained a tireless pace in the recording studio and on the road, reaching a wide and loyal international audience. The duo recorded a groundbreaking string of classic albums and an equally impressive body of songs, many of which became major pop standards, such as: "The Sound Of Silence," "Homeward Bound," "I Am a Rock," "Kathy's Song," "April Come She Will," "For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her," "At the Zoo," "A Hazy Shade of Winter," "America," "Scarborough Fair/Canticle," "Mrs. Robinson," "The Boxer," "Bridge Over Troubled Water," "Cecilia," "El Condor Pasa," and "My Little Town."
