SIMON & GARFUNKEL

 

Together or apart, Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel have released one of the most significant canons of songs. Their partnership has weathered time, despite periods of estrangement. This countdown looks back on 100 of their best recordings- as a duo or as soloists.

Here’s to you, Simon & Garfunkel…

A MOST PECULIAR MAN

Simon & Garfunkel

The second track to deal with suicide on ‘The Sounds Of Silence’, “A Most Peculiar Man” demonstrates the progression of Paul Simon’s songwriting.

WAKE UP LITTLE SUSIE

Simon & Garfunkel

Simon & Garfunkel re-united for a concert performed in New York’s Central Park in 1981. They covered “Wake Up Little Susie”, a hit by the duo that inspired them decades before: The Everly Brothers. The live single peaked at #27 on the US chart in 1981.

EVERYTHING ABOUT IT IS A LOVE SONG

Another adventurous project from Simon, ‘Surprise’ saw him collaborate with Brian Eno. The album was issued in 2006.

“One Man’s Ceiling Is Another Man’s Floor” is a clever jazz-tinged track from ‘There Goes Rhymin’ Simon’.

EVERYTHING PUT TOGETHER FALLS APART

Paul Simon

When Paul Simon began working on his first post-Simon & Garfunkel album, he had no songs. Fortunately, he found his muse and delivered a strong LP, which contained “Everything Put Together Falls Apart”.
