Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel were initially inspired by theEverly Brothers and under the name Tom And Jerry enjoyed a hit with 'Hey Schoolgirl'. The duo reunited in 1964 for Wednesday Morning 3AM, which included an acoustic reading of 'The Sound Of Silence'. Producer Tom Wilson made the presumptuous but prescient decision to overdub 'Sound Of Silence' withelectric instrumentation and an album titled after the million-selling single was rush-released early in 1966. Parsley,Sage, Rosemary And Thyme had a varied mood from the grandlyserious 'For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her' to the bouncy '59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)'. The duo contributed Mrs. Robinson to the soundtrack of the 1968 film, The Graduate. That same year saw the release of Bookends, a superbly-crafted work. In 1969 the duo released the celebrated Bridge Over Troubled Water. One of the best-selling albums of all time, the work's title track became a standard with its lush, orchestral arrangement and contrasting tempo. While at the peak of their commercial success, the duo became irascible and their partnership abruptly ceased. Since then there have been sporadic reunions, most notably The Concert In Central Park.



Simon & Garfunkel have two 3-CD box sets collecting their entire career output, one with out-takes and live recordings, but the duo who were among the bestselling acts of the 1960s only recorded five studio albums throughout the entire 1960s! Their studio perfectionism is never better served than here. This greatest hits is simple and to the point, a perfect collection for anyone looking to get the basic idea (and hits) without committing to a more serious relationship. The harmonies, Paul Simon's masterful songwriting, Garfunkel's soaring choirboy voice, are all here.

Simon & Garfunkel haben zwei 3-CD box sets, die die gesamte Produktion ihrer Karriere mit Neu-Auflagen und Live-Aufnahmen enthalten. Aber das Duo, deren Songs zu den Bestsellern der sechziger Jahre gehörten, nahm während dieser gesamten Zeit nur fünf Studio-Alben auf! Ihr Studio-Perfektionismus wurde niemals besser belohnt wie hier. Diese Greatest Hits Sammlung ist einfach und kommt auf den Punkt, eine perfekte Sammlung für jeden, der einen ersten Einstieg (und Hits) finden möchte, ohne sich auf eine tiefergehende Beziehung einzulassen. Die Harmonien, Paul Simon's meisterhaftes Songschreiben, Garfunkel's emporsteigende Chorknaben-Stimme, sind hier zu finden.
