1960's , Simon and Art Garfunkel


If you are a fan of the 1960's era, you shouldn't miss Arthur Ira Garfunkel songs. He is a complete personal who has achieved several feats during his career. The American Song-writer, poet, actor is best known for being a member of the folk duo Simon and Art Garfunkel.


The duo released their first album "Wednesday Morning 3 A.M" on Columbia records in October 1964. It was not a big hit and the duo split once again. However after the efforts of producer Tom Wilson who personally modified the famous song "Sound of silence" from their album which went to become no.1 in billboard lists that year, Simon and Garfunkel reunited the same year. The duo went on to make four more successful albums in the subsequent years which included several hits like "Bridge over troubled waters", "Mrs. Robinson", "Scarborough fair", "Cecilia", and the most well known "the boxer" etc.


In the next following years during the 1970’s the duo went on separate ways to perform solos. However, whenever it was feasible they always reunited every now and then for concerts around the world. Both their names were felicitated by including them in the Rock and Roll hall of fame in the year 1990. And ever since they remain to be the best of friends who has made several smashing hits of rock songs. In 2003, they received Grammy Lifetime achievement award which led to a US tour in the same year followed by a 2004 international encore which culminated in a free concert at the Colosseum
in Rome which was their final concert. Even at that age they attracted several fans from all over the world which numbered to about 6, 00,000 in total.

Who Is The Greatest Musician Of All time.

I.O.M.C is at it again.
We asked our viewers another question,Who is the greatest musician/singer of all time?
This time many of us could not predict a clear winner because of the choices.But once we knew about the winner,we realised that the winner deserved it more than anyone else.He is also famously known as the 'King Of Pop'.
Michael Jackson Aka The King Of Pop was voted as the greatest musician of all time.He is the ultimate entertainer who single handedly changed the entire course of Pop Music when the whole pop music industry was in dire straights.His music changed the world and the amount of charity work he has done is a world record (most charity work done by a celebrity).
His most uncertain death was a disaster to music fans all around the world.The King Of Pop is no more,but his music is 'invincible'
