Art Garfunkel on new memoir, discovering his voice

As half of Simon & Garfunkel, Art Garfunkel dominated the pop charts, scoring hits like "Cecilia" and No. 1 records "Bookends" and "Bridge Over Troubled Water." After the duo split in 1970, Garfunkel moved onto a successful solo career. He and Paul Simon were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990 and later received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. Garfunkel joins "CBS This Morning" to discuss his new memoir, "What Is It All But Luminous: Notes from an Underground Man."

    Yes. We are losing the s1960s artists as they hit their seventy year decade. Many of them were heavey drinkers or druggies, or had unhealthy lifestyles - food, sleep, smoking. I just his 70 and it really hits you. Things that were just annoying in younger years become conditions requiring medicine. I think of the song lyirc by Neil Young, ITS BETTER TO BURN OUT THAN FADE AWAY. Lots of performers burned their candles at both ends in that era and we miss their light.

Furthermore, me not knowing anything about music (still I don’t know much), I thought they sounded like angels. And I still listen to Simon and Garfunkel even nowadays. Art Garfunkel once described Paul Simon as a sensitive poet. I cannot agreed more. And what a voice to go with the beautiful music... I will always cherish Art and Paul. Until the end!

    Paul was a very difficult person to work with since he was the creator while Art was the interpreter. It is clear from Paul's recent biography Art let him down in a couple of critical times eg During Bridge recording Art went off to do a movie without much notice to Paul; they both gave competing bids for a flat in Manhattan in John Lennons Apartment block!! Worst of all Art kept secret his failing voice on a world tour. Paul expected perfection and most times got it from Art, however they argued ferociously as Alpha males. Art has never really challenged Paul in their respective solo careers. Together they were indomitable right back to Wednesday Morning 3AM, my favourite album for purity.

    @@tom-ht3ju I know both songs and agree they have an elegant spirit as well Paul’s sharp social commentary in Duncan. But for me the folk songs like Bleecker Street, April come She Will, Sparrow, The sun is Burning shine as diamonds in their rich colours and tones with scintillating harmonies On Wed 3 AM... which I always thought was their first album here in Australia.

    Art has inspired me to become a poet. I have written three already, especially through these difficult times, I have found a new beauty of life through his poetry. Such a shame that they focus on the sound, which of course is beautiful and harmonic, but can careless on what he has to say. Awful media.
