Barcode: 5056083211296
Across the latter half of the 60s, and culminating with the release of 1970's Bridge Over Troubled Water album, Simon & Garfunkel established themselves as one of the greatest singer-songwriter duos in the history of popular music. Literate pop songs such as 'The Sound of Silence' and 'I Am a Rock' brought into the charts the existential crises many young men struggled with during an era of civil-rights marches and anti-war protests; with 'Mrs Robinson', commissioned as the theme for the 1967 film The Graduate, the pair delivered a song that almost singlehandedly outshone the Academy Award-winning movie it was written for.Collated from performances on Hollywood a Go-Go, The Smothers Brothers Show and more, Simon & Garfunkel's performances of these songs - along with others from their timeless songbook, including 'Homeward Bound' and 'The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)' - are definitive, forever woven into the tapestry of 20th-century popular culture.
