Simon and Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water

February 14th, 2015
Label: Columbia
Year: 1970
Genre: Folk Rock
Recommending Person: Rose Sherry

This is one of the all time classic albums. It is the final album from the duo of musician Paul Simon and the artist Art Garfunkel.

Everyone loves "Bridge Over Troubled Water", "Cecilia", "The Boxer", and "The Only Living Boy in New York". Besides the hits the album tracks are absolutely fabulous as well.

My question is that when an incredibly popular and successful duo each have solo albums and only one of them remains successful does that lessen the importance of the 'lesser' artist?

I think no, as Art Garfunkel may be one of the most interesting artist in the last 50 years. I think he is infinitely more interesting than Andy Warhol. He was a Mathematics professor, a painter, an Oscar nominated actor, and you know that whole half of one of the best American Acts ever.

Fun Fact: ArtGarfunkel.com leads you to Ugg boots. I think this may detract from my previous statement.
