ABOUT
Simon and Garfunkel have a long history dating back to the late 1950s when they first recorded as Tom and Jerry. They have a long string of hits that started in 1966 with "The Sounds Of Silence." This song, and many of their other late 1960s hits, including "Mrs. Robinson" (1968), made up the soundtrack for "The Graduate." In 1970, "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" topped the charts in both the UK and the US. In the early 1970s, Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel both began their solo careers and in 1981, they reunited briefly as Simon and Garfunkel for a national tour and charted with "Wake Up Little Susie" in 1982. The duo was induced into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990.
