"The Sounds of Silence" rocketed them to fame.
If you've ever listened closely to the words, you can't help but get shivers.
It was written after President Kennedy's assassination.
This performance is from 1966.
I just read that "The Sounds of Silence" has become one of 25 recordings selected for preservation at the Library of Congress.

How cool is that!!
"Bridge Over Troubled Water"
performed at the 25th Anniversary Rock and Roll Hall of Fame concert, 2009
and just for fun....
a studio rehearsal cut of "Bridge Over Troubled Water" for their TV special "Songs of America" in 1969
Art is such a cutie!!
"The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)"
absolutely nothing will make you feel happier!
performed at the "Concert in Central Park" 1981
I don't know of a Simon and Garfunkel song that I didn't like!
I have several albums, but now I listen to their greatest hits on CD!
(my albums will probably end up with my daughter who actually has a turntable!)

Well, you hit on a lot of my favourites!
I love Simon and Garfunkle as well. I did not realize that about Sounds of Silence. I remember listening to it when I was young. I've always liked America and The Boxer also.
Great artists and great songs :)

hello darkness my old friend...
love it!
I love, love, love, Simon and Garfunkel. I collect vinyl and theirs are some of my favorites. I listened to them a lot when I was painting the guest room a couple of weeks ago. :-)
All my favorites too. Love them.
I've always loved Simon and Garfunkel. I still listen to Paul Simon's solo music - his African music is so moving! And I've always love Ray Charles too. I have fond memories of listening to his music on the radio when I was a little girl... Whoopee, great blog to listen to! {:-D
we got to hear S & G in Chicago a few years ago -- it was awesome. There was a jumbotron screen behind them, where they projected images from when they were young, in school and first starting out. Just loved it. Great S post.
Great music memories! I still have some of their vinyl. LOL
Remember slam books? Whenever I was handed one in middle school and I came to a page, asking for my favorite musical group, I wrote down Simon & Garfunkel. Still love their music today!
Simon & Garfunkel are one of my favorites...
I remember Seeing them in concert many moons ago...
