Created some of the most literate, beautiful folk-rock of the 1960s. The Sound of Silence, Mrs. Robinson, Bridge Over Troubled Water and The Boxer remain among the most loved songs in popular music.
The numerological dynamic
Simon was the creative engine — composing all the songs, playing guitar, developing as one of the greatest lyricists in American music. Garfunkel's voice turned Simon's complex, literary songs into something universally felt.
Simon provided the ideas and Garfunkel provided the emotional transmission — the voice that made millions feel what Simon had written. A great song needs both a great mind and a great delivery.
