The duo of Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel are American popular musicians and Singer-songwriters known collectively as Simon & Garfunkel. They formed the group Tom and Jerry in 1957, and had their first taste of success with the minor hit “Hey Schoolgirl”. As Simon and Garfunkel, the duo rose to fame in 1965 backed by the hit single “The Sounds of Silence”. Their music was featured on the landmark film The Graduate, propelling them further into the public consciousness. They are well known for their close harmonies and sometimes unstable relationship. Their last album, Bridge over Troubled Water, was marked with several delays caused by artistic differences. Simon and Garfunkel were among the most popular recording artists of the 1960s, and are perhaps best known for their songs “The Sounds of Silence”, “Mrs. Robinson”, “Bridge over Troubled Water” and “The Boxer”. They have received several Grammys and are inductees of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Long Island Music Hall of Fame (2007). In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked Simon and Garfunkel[1] #40 on their list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.[2]

They have reunited on several occasions since their 1970 break-up, most famously for 1981’s The Concert in Central Park, which attracted more than 750,000 people

Okay, why did I think Mrs Robinson was the Beatles? But still that is a great song, as is Cecilla, though if you're anal it was technically post Simon/Garfunkel breakup (ie: Simon's solo career) But still, this was one of the best groups around... And anyone who dislikes Me and Julio down by the Schoolyard is an idiot.
