Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel were initially inspired by the Everly
Brothers and under the name Tom And Jerry enjoyed a hit with 'Hey
Schoolgirl'. The duo reunited in 1964 for Wednesday Morning 3AM,
which included an acoustic reading of 'The Sound Of Silence'.
Producer Tom Wilson made the presumptuous but prescient decision to
overdub 'Sound Of Silence' with electric instrumentation and an
album titled after the million-selling single was rush-released
early in 1966. Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme had a varied mood
from the grandly serious 'For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her' to
the bouncy '59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)'. The duo
contributed Mrs. Robinson to the soundtrack of the 1968 film, The
Graduate. That same year saw the release of Bookends, a
superbly-crafted work. In 1969 the duo released the celebrated
Bridge Over Troubled Water. One of the best-selling albums of all
time, the work's title track became a standard with its lush,
orchestral arrangement and contrasting tempo. While at the peak of
their commercial success, the duo became irascible and their
partnership abruptly ceased. Since then there have been sporadic
reunions, most notably The Concert In Central Park.
Bridge over Troubled Water is the fifth and final studio album by
Simon & Garfunkel. Released on January 26, 1970, it reached No.
1 on Billboard Music Charts pop albums list. It won a Grammy Award
for Album of the Year, as well as for Best Engineered Recording,
while its title track won the Grammy Award for Record of the Year
and Song of the Year in the Grammy Awards of 1971. It has since
sold over 25 million copies worldwide.
