Biography
Simon & Garfunkel were an American folk-rock duo who became one of the most successful acts of the 1960s. The pairing of *Paul Simon*'s intricate, introspective songwriting with *Art Garfunkel*'s soaring tenor vocals created a sound defined by pristine, layered harmonies. Initially emerging from the Greenwich Village folk scene under their own names, their work evolved from the spare acoustic arrangements of 'Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M.' to complex studio productions on albums like 'Bookends' and the monumental 'Bridge over Troubled Water'. Their songs explored themes of alienation, love, and social commentary, leaving a legacy of meticulously crafted music that captured the generational zeitgeist.
