Simon & Garfunkel, an iconic folk-rock duo, hails from New York City and comprises singer-songwriter Paul Simon and singer Art Garfunkel. They are lauded for their harmonious vocal chemistry and Simon's masterful songwriting. Their career began in earnest with the release of "Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M." in 1964, an album that initially flopped but eventually gained traction after their producer remixed "The Sound of Silence" with electric guitar and drums, propelling it to the top of the charts in late 1965. This success firmly established their presence in the folk-rock movement.

Over the course of their career, Simon & Garfunkel have crafted a series of timeless albums that resonate with audiences for their poetic lyrics and melodic elegance. Seminal works such as "Sounds Of Silence" (1966), "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme" (1966), the soundtrack album "The Graduate" (1968), "Bookends" (1968), and the universally beloved "Bridge Over Troubled Water" (1970), serve as cornerstones in their discography. Although they parted ways in 1970 after the release of "Bridge Over Troubled Water", their influence on music is indelible, and they've periodically reunited for tours and live performances. Albums like "Live 1969" and "Live From New York City, 1967" capture the raw and compelling energy of their live shows. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990, a testament to their enduring impact on the music world.
