About

Simon & Garfunkel, 1960s American folk rock duo from New York's Queens district.

Simon & Garfunkel began their collaboration in 1963, releasing their debut album Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M. in 1964. Their music integrates folk rock with pop elements, featuring acoustic guitars and vocal harmonies. Following early commercial challenges and a brief split, they released a string of influential albums throughout the late 1960s including Sounds Of Silence (1966), Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme (1966), and Bookends (1968).
