Every time I hear Art sing "For Emily," I expect a standing ovation to follow

You know, Paul Simon is just a beast of a guitar player, it gets overlooked.

"For Emily".....maybe the most perfect song I've ever heard. What an achievement of creative humanity and God given talent.

If I could sing like any singer it would definitely be Art Garfunkel ,his voice is a gift from Heaven.

Paul and his brother look like twins. Look at their right sideburns. Looks identical. Facial features look similar, too.

I never get tired of listening to Simon and Garfunkel ( or both of them singing solo ). Garfunkel's voice is so smoothly angelic, but Paul's voice is great, too. The perfect duo. I've listened to them my whole life. Such a treat!

Do they, even now, truly realize the depth of their talent. So many moments for my generation. Thank Simon and Garfunkel!

There is an intensity to Garfunkel's voice that makes it much more than just pretty. Simon is simply a brilliant guitarist. He can carry the entire concert with that one instrument like an orchestra.

Exactly, it's a special tension, as if he's declaiming a fundamental truth to people, a prayer or a poem, something we needed and were searching for, but were not aware till we heard it. Something crafted by the unique and poignant writing, and playing of Simon, and created by the perfect, misterious simbiosys of their two voices, of their souls... They are quite unique in music.

I always thought how still Art looks during his preformances. He gets totally lost in his singing... Total concentration and never, nor seldom taps his feet or shake his tail feather, so to speak. He looks like the shy intervert, yet, I think Paul is shy too but, there's something behind Paul's eyes, and a look on his face that is as deep and complex as an ocean. Love all the songs these two did together... Still do and still listening to them today Their voices were made to go together. March 2021.

With the crap music today it is sure nice to see true musicians.I'm 58 and enjoy this it brings back memories of being a kid.

This is absolutely, wonderful! What great talent these men have!

Garfunkel was the voice. But Simon was the genuis.

Each of us are born into this world with a complete unknown where we are going to end up. Along that path, we endure trials and tribulations that we have to overcome to succeed. Simon and Garfunkel filled that need , with music that , if you welcome it, can help one overcome adversity. True talent that in some ways will never be repeated.

No, no strings For Emily! Art’s voice gives us all the emotion we need.

I saw this at the time. One of their best live performances, very human.

It's interesting how different the phrasing is in this performance of The Sound of Silence compared to the recording and many live shows. It proves how professional they were in each and every performance where they happened to be. Never missed a beat. Wish l was older when they were most visible because l would've appreciated them more.

Fantastic. Thanks for posting this. Sorry some feel the need to bash modern musicians. we need music! This is a wonderful example from the days of my youth..

The '60's and '70's were an era of creativity that produced wonderful music. Today is NOT the same era.. No Comparison !

Hands down, one of the best duos to ever hit the music scene, Paul's creativity drawing from rhythms and melodies worldwide, and Art's stunning vocals second to none. Even after splitting up, they continued to move and exhilarate us with their individual talents, and I personally consider Art's solo efforts to rank his best, and among the finest offerings of that genre. I dare anyone to sit through his "Breakaway" album without getting misty eyed.

These guys are our friends and touchstones. I still have my 45 of I am a Rock.
