You had, what, 43 years to learn to spell your “Garfunkle’s” name! FAIL!

as I recall, that song competed with the "Revolution" by the Beatles...it should have been an even bigger hit.....
thinking lately that Paul Simon is a genius in music...

I just knew your second sentence was wrong. But lo and behold - Wikipedia says you’re right.
I woulda bet money this song was from before 1970.

Doesn’t rate a vanity. Especially from a n00b who signed on last month.

I think I’d better start a vanity about Bobby Vinton’s “Roses Are Red”. Whoever wrote it, I think is a “genius”.

I dated a little girl back in the Summer of 1970. She was cute and smart but now that I look back on it, I don’t see what I saw in her back then.
One thing I do remember about her was “Bridge Over Troubled Waters” was her favorite song. She later became President of Chi Omega at Mississippi State or at least that is what one of their football players told me.

This is my favorite tune by Simon & Garfunkle, recording under the name Tom & Jerry. It nosed into the Billboard Hot 100 during the last week of 1957 and climbed to #54.

Great song. Now I’ll have to find a YouTube and listen to the song. Next time include a link please ;)
To: yarddog
My favorite was by Simon, “Kodachrome”. A really swinging song.

The ONLY album I ever received as a gift was a Simon & Garfunkel from my ex-h....both long gone...but, they were my favorite when I was 18...and still in the top few...

OK, so I’m right - a little - after all.
Wikipedia goes on to say....”The single was released on January 26, 1970” and “Simon wrote the song in the summer of 1969 while Garfunkel was filming Catch-22 in Europe.”

You and I apparently share being awed by really great music. Nice post.

YES...and I liked them much more than the BEATLES!!! (And, I was told I looked like Paul McCartney....being a young woman, I did NOT take that as a compliment, but the gal was a Beatle crazy girl.)

You are correct, the name Garfunkel is spelled differently than I had thought. Thank you.
To: lee martell
Nice to see that some of the S&G songs are being re-recorded by modern artists.
I especially like the Mumford and Sons version of “The Boxer”.
