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.
