Simon & Garfunkel: Song by Song

This sweeping song-by-song story traces how two unlikely pop icons shaped folk-rock across decades.

'Every generation throws a hero up the Pop charts' wrote Paul Simon in The Boy In The Bubble. He and Arthur Garfunkel were most unlikely candidates for Pop stardom, but as generational culture shifted, they perfectly articulated the minutiae of those changes. Together, and then separately, the duo charted the course of Folk-Rock through the 1960s and 1970s, from 'The Sound Of Silence' to 'Bridge Over Troubled Water', until the 1982 reunion Concert In Central Park, took them into a new level of success for newer generations.

This is the full story of Paul & Art, song by song, album by album, also taking in their earliest adventures as Tom & Jerry, their subsequent solo careers, as well as their sporadic reunions.
