One of the pivotal acts of the '60s, Simon & Garfunkel created the soundtrack to a generation through songs like "The Sounds of Silence," "Mrs. Robinson," and "Bridge Over Troubled Water."
The most successful folk-rock duo of the 1960s, Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel crafted a series of memorable hit albums and singles featuring their choirboy harmonies, ringing acoustic and electric guitars, and Simon's acute, finely wrought songwriting. Many feel that Simon, as both a singer and songwriter, didn't truly blossom until he began his own hugely successful solo career in the 1970s. But the best of Simon & Garfunkel's work can stand among Simon's best material, and the duo did progress musically over the course of its five albums, moving from basic folk-rock productions into Latin rhythms and gospel-influenced arrangements. ~ Richie Unterberger
