Simon and Garfunkel are arguably one of music’s most successful folk-rock duos. They were one of the best-selling groups of the 1960s and have written some of music’s most memorable songs like “The Sound of Silence,” “Mrs. Robinson,” and “Bridge Over Troubled Water.”

Unfortunately, hit singles are not the only thing that Simon and Garfunkel are known for. The duo is also known for their rocky relationship, artistic disagreements, and countless breakups. They have won 10 Grammy Awards, headlined 1981’s The Concert in Central Park, and are in the Rock and Roll Hall of fame, but Simon and Garfunkel's career and life have had their fair share of turmoil and tragedy.

  • @runwei_1999
    Probably the best folk music duo of all time

    Their harmony was unbelievably perfect. Absolutely incredible! I miss that.

    Not tragic, just gifted and strong willed.
  • I flew in from Germany to Los Angeles to attend a concert of S&G's 2003 "Old Friends" reunion tour. I will NEVER forget this night singing along my musical heroes for more than three decades with tears in my eyes.
  • Since 70's with the sound of silence, I got addicted to S&G and still today I love to hear them !!!
  • @pasbert4812
    The very best harmonious grassroots folk duo ever, so many brilliant artists in all genres seem tormented lost souls in real life . Fame and money rarely equal happiness . Their music is iconic and cultural , it always takes me back to places and people from the early 70's when they were part of everyones record collection.
  • @joekavanagh7171
    Whether they ever get together or not, their music will live forever, and their names will be intertwined for all eternity
  • @Elphaba1952
    They had the exquisite harmony usually only found in siblings, and they were, and remain, the sound of my generation.💗
  • I grew up in this century, and man, I love Simon and Garfunkel. There music is timeless.
  • @theprior46
    They were the "sound" of an era. Simon shouldn't feel guilt in his old age - they both gave their all really and they don't owe the world anything more. We should let them gracefully back off and let us keep their wonderful legacy.

    The title is misleading. I'm sorry, tragically misleading.
  • @rtg1960
    And the live version of Kathy’s Song. Superb! I was at the Concert in Central Park in 1981 and it was something I’ll never forget.
