   About Art Garfunkel
Bridge Over Troubled Water
Although it has been 40 years since Bridge Over Troubled Water was recorded, Art Garfunkel's image and signature vocal remain among the most instantly recognizable in popular music.

The dialogue began for Art at age four, when his father brought home one of the first wire recorders. "That got me into music more than anything else," he recalls, "singing and being able to record it." Seven years later he was singing Everly Brothers songs at school talent shows with a partner, Paul Simon, from his Forest Hills neighborhood in Queens, New York. "Then rhythm 'n blues, rock 'n roll came along."

"But I went to college. I was the kid who was going to find some way to make a 'decent' living." He earned his Bachelor of Arts degree at Columbia College, majoring in Art History; later he earned his Masters degree in Mathematics at Columbia University. But he never stopped singing, and even recorded several solo singles (as 'Artie Garr') while in school. When he met up again with Simon in 1962 and they began to rehearse, the decision was clear.

They started performing as Simon & Garfunkel at the height of the folk music boom in late-1963, and within a year were signed to Columbia Records. Simon & Garfunkel won five Grammy awards together, two in 1968 and three in 1970.

"They were fabulous years," Art remembers warmly. "I'll always be happy to say a little on behalf of the duo. I'm proud of singing those great songs. Now they teach Paul Simon songs in churches and schools as part of the curricula...it seems that part of good citizenship is the knowledge of the songs we did. How can I grasp that?"

Now have up my second Simon and Garfunkel tune, "Bridge Over Troubled Water" on my "Sixties Profile" with more to come. Thank you so much for the memories. All music is classic in that it can take you back to a time and place in your own history. Cheers.

Your gift from me is to remain in top friends for a while longer! heh heh!
I hope everything is safe and happy in your neighborhood.
I send MAGICMAD musical love to you and to all you love!
Please be careful this winter, ok?
Here in Spread Eagle, WI USA it has already snowed and will keep getting colder until everything dies or just wants to die rather than be outside! WHEW!
It gets so cold here that Santa will not perform his duties anymore
unless someone pays him... way in advance! Hohoho!
More updates later.
Sincerely,

Just a thought...

Hi Artie, I know it is little bit early on your birhtday only two days away. I wanted to be the second one in advance but Fernando did it first than me and I am very good friends with Lia, Joan, Monica, Gloria, and Fernando. I have been thinking about your birthday as well and I didn't forget. I watch you with Paul were celebrating the 25th anniversary of Rock and Hall of Fame, you were amazing singing Bridge Trouble Over Water I love that song and you look handsome as well and love the shirt; you definitely rock also I love the performance you make.

So, I want to wish you a happy birthday and a enjoyable one! :)
Lots of love,
Milly, your friend:)

Thanks for the add! I've had such a heart felt connection to your music for so long! At the risk of sounding like one of those "hey listen to me!" myspacers, and in the hopes that you look at your comments, I have a cover of Scarborough Fair/Canticle on my page that I worked on for fun. It is in an electronic style with robotic voices and breakbeats. I hope you will enjoy it!
