The dulcet harmonies of Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel remain one of the more cherished sounds of the Sixties. The music made by the Forest Hills, New York, natives,they had met in the sixth grade, was fueled by a mutual love of early rock and roll and a search for inspiration beyond the conventional borders of folk and pop.  Between 1956 and 1962, the two had performed together using the alias Tom and Jerry, they recorded an Everly Brothers-style original ("Hey, Schoolgirl") that sold 150,000 copies

Between 1964 and 1970 they released 5 studio albums but although the two had been friends since childhood, personal differences tore them apart and they both embarked on solo careers in 1970. They reunited several time for live performances and tours but never released another album of new material.
