Student Sample 1
Student Sample 1 Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel were a duo from Queens, who performed folk rock from 1957 – 1070. They met in 4th grade when Simon saw Garfunkel at a talent show and hoped to befriend him as a ploy to attract girls. They eventually wrote their first song, “Girl for Me” in 1956 while at Forest Hill High School. The years went by and as their time for departure grew closer, their disagreements grew stronger, leading to the demise of the duo after the album, “Sounds of Silence”, was a commercial failure. Over the years they have reunited on occasions to play together, just as they did in the old days.
