Live Albums By Simon & Garfunkel
Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel first started to sing together as children in the early 1950s and had a minor hit as Tom & Jerry in 1957 but they split and only reformed when the popularity of folk music started to increase.

Paul Simon is one of my favourite songwriters, both in his partnership with Art Garfunkel and in his solo career.
