Art did nothing much after the break sadly. But Paul reinvented himself as a solo artist, Art faded into obscurity. Let’s just be happy for the beautiful music they produced.
Garfunkel has always been jealous of Simon's talent. Petty and vindictive, Art should count his blessings he was ever associated with one of America's greatest singer-songwriters.
Art should be happy that he benefitted from someone else's talent Paul Simon is an exceptional guitarist, singer and songwriter whereas Art could accompany him with beautiful harmonies and that's about it! Living on someone's coat tails is nice if you can get it!
Having a pretty voice is not the same as being a singularly important and brilliant creator. Paul Simon is a one in 1 billion genius who changed the face of music forever. That's just not the same as being a guy with a nice voice. It's kind of pathetic to well about why you're not as important. It's Beethoven that's important not his goddamned piano.
Why is it not lovely, Jimmy, for you to say such a thing? Talent is a claim you can’t make as it came with birth. Likewise, Garfunkel could sing very well. How could we have one and not the other? One is tall, and one is short(er). It makes for a good laugh, like Laurel and Hardy. (Hooray for DEI, you bums! You've had it for years.) Excuse me. Now, where was I? Contrasts and feuds are necessary. Success is whatever we make of success in the end. Signed, a slightly (or sleight) Wiseman.
Why pick on Paul Simon, he had a good run with Garfunkel. They werent married. He is a great artist. Music should have no borders. Its international. Paul Simon is maybe a private person illuminating the human spirit. Thanks Paul.
Creative musicians and lyricists always face backlash from the less talented Insecure people. aving been in bands since my teenage years Well into my adult years. I have experienced these things first hand .
You're right Mediocre people with average talent always seek company in blaming great artists for extraneous things unrelated to their genius- Mozart had an easy ride due to his father's influence, Van Gogh was bi-polar and painted pictures as a result of his seizures and insanity, the Beatles weren't that good, and they just copied the early rock and roll pioneers. Paul Simon was just a racist exploiting racial issues in South Africa
Strange video. It repeats over and over and over that Paul Simon's strive for perfection was painful to his collaborators, fractured his relationships, and alienated those closest to him. However, the only example of an unhappy collaborator described in the video was Art Garfunkel.
The duo was not popular at the studios - where the policy was that S&G were allowed to kick out anyone if they suddenly needed recording space, even on a moment's notice. And Simon's ego turned off many others in the business. But you are right that none of Simon's musical collaborators complained.
“Artie you finally come crawling back” Brilliant catalog but Garfunkel was an afterthought in falsetto. Paul Simon will rank with Cole Porter, or maybe Mozart. Artie will leave a legacy of mediocre films
Where is the 'CONFRONTED' bit? Simon wrote the songs, Garfunkle didn't. I also take issue with the bit about Simon working with native South African musicians. Who would have heard of Ladysmith Black Mambazo if it wasn't for him?
Art, What's wrong with being a gifted vocalist? Do what you do best. Paul Simon is a genius Poet, Songwriter, and Musician. Dylan takes a backseat to him and I am a fan of both.
garfunkel was lucky yes great voice simon writes the songs arranges the songs and plays guitar and sings he should kiss simons arse for making so much money for him whot has he done by himself nothin simon went on whith greatness
I think it’s complex in any duo or group…like a marriage and lots of groups had their ups/downs (especially with super creative people). I’m glad they had a recent lunch to talk about their issues and reunite.
Making music is a business. If you can last 10 years before getting tired of each other, that's about all you can expect. After splitting up, Simon went on to have 7 Top 10 albums and 12 Top 40 Hits while Garfunkel had 2 Top 10 albums and 7 Top 40 Hits singing the songs of Jimmy Webb and others including some great covers like What a Wonderful World and When a Man Loves a Woman.
Graceland/ Black Munbasa They were all well paid & their careers were elevated to world fame & they did way better after the album than if he had not hired them Bad Paul Simon!
I really appreciate your efforts! Just a quick off-topic question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?
No, he's just kind of a weird person and very boring to interview. "Dylan" on the other hand is far too high and mighty to stoop down and give the peasants the benefits of his pronouncements We all know what the Beatles and Rolling Stones sounded like. But the untouchable "Dylan" is never heard from I saw a clip of his performance and couldn't believe it He was literally clenching his teeth and "singing" his song like he was a ventriloquist I swear, if this guy went on stage and took a dump, his fans would all gather around to study it But it would be ok. Because he really and truly believes that his shit doesn't stink.
Two great talents in their own right, and strong personalities. Some would say those components, in themselves, meant ultimate doom for their partnership. Let us just be thankful for the great music they gave us for 20+ years. Yes, they went their own ways thereafter, but still produced good music, individually. Life is like that for many. The question for all of us is; 'What did we achieve...and what did we learn along the way?' (Not; 'Why didn't things work out the way we expected!?')
At what point did "Art Garfunkel Just ConfrontPaul Simon" ?!?!?! I was misled into wasting 12 minutes of my life! Arty and Paul had 2 different visions. Art did NOT fade into obscurity, he merely followed a different path!
Two highly gifted musicians who chose pride over continuing to make beautiful music together. Tell me, smartest men in the room, were you true to your art or just your ego? Christ said we cannot serve 2 masters. Was it better to be alone and less than what you were as a team? A tragic end to one's destiny before God scheduled it. There's a saying, "Humility is reality." I saw the reality of this duo in a sold out crowd at Giant's Stadium ... they made great music ... together. Music is "the language of angels," it's said. To speak the language so eloquently invites that ancient temptation to assume you're a deity. You could have stopped the grudge match if you loved what you were doing. God gives each of us all the talent we have anyway ("Talent on loan from God," said Rush). All you needed to do was laugh at the temptation to take credit for your genius - and keep on writing, composing, playing, singing. But pride cometh before the fall. Each of us is called by God to submerge our ego to love of Him, the only "I Am." And all that I'm saying is not to judge their souls, only their actions. We all do it ... until we take leisure and contemplate God. Then we know we are all His lowly, fortunate children. Anyway, one man's opinion. I am close to music ... heard music all my life, went to Woodstock, married a marvelous musical lady, had several musician children. Music is sublime ... never let ego mess with it.
Absolutely! Dylan played an enormous role in making America what it is today, what with infanticide on demand, genital mutilation of children, corruption and societal mayhem at every level.
Whose nose is most crooked? Probably Zimmie. Simon & Garfunkel had a better sound and better singing voices, at least they didn't sound like a croaking frog. Artie owes everything to Paul. What a lucky break. Like George owed everything to the other Paul. Both would have had to work day jobs.
Surely there comes a time when past differences & pettiness can be put aside. Especially when one reaches the age or stage, when both people have one foot on the edge of a grave & the other foot on a banana peel. Bearing grudges isn't going to make the transitioning a joyful flight. 😊❤ Go & listen to the magic of the Bookends album & work on forgiveness.
No one cares to hear Garfunkel's "side of the story". He's irrelevant. Thankfully, Garfunkel's delusion that he could act gave the world the real Paul Simon. As for the whole Simon/Dylan rivalry-bloody nonsense!
Bob Dylan's music is timeless.Some people don't have the capacity to appreciate true art and political vision.Dylan was the most introspective mind ever to play.
Oh yes, TRUE ART and great introspection, sure? "oh mama, can this really be the end? to be stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis blues again" Poetic genius!, lmao. Sorry, to draw a parallel to the art world, I'd say that Paul Simon is Rembrandt and "Dylan" is Jackson Pollock Sounds of Silence, the Boxer, and the Dangling Conversation are true introspective works of art. Joni Mitchell's Both Sides now is better than anything "Dylan" ever wrote, hands down And Gordon Lightfoot's If you could read my mind, Rainy Day People, and Beautiful should be enough to make that asshole run for the hills and look for a real job
This video makes claims about Garfunkel's views which Garfunkel nowhere in the video actually expresses. It's a waste of time, and I wish I hadn't bothered to watch it. If you haven't watched it yet, I would suggest that you could better spend your time listening to a Simon and Garfunkel song.
Simon need have no qualms about his comparison with "Dylan" There is no contest. Simon is a true artist and poet, "Dylan" a cultural fad that faded out in the 1960's that only washed up old hippies choose to prop up as some great icon Hardly any of his work is original or noteworthy, and most is a bunch of nonsensical gibberish pretending to be something "deep" He is to music what modern art is to real art
@@bobdobs23 All right then, for the moment, let's forget about his megalomaniacal personality and nasty disposition or the miserable persona he projects to the world, or any other, as you say, ad hominem attacks "Dylan" has never composed anything close to the magnitude of Sounds of Silence, The Boxer, Bridge over Troubled Water, I am a rock. Peace like a River. In fact, his "music" just has me all "tangled up in blue" And it is quite certain that he has never ever been "knocking on heaven's door"
@@veritastriumphantchurch776 it's also important to note that Paul Simon borrowed a lot from classical music and other sources to compose his songs. For example, both 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' and 'American Tune' were both born out of music borrowings from JS Bach's 'O Sacred Head, Now Wounded'. Both Dylan and Simon are great at borrowing. But then, many great artists were and are including the Beatles.
@@vikeirishman Rod Stewart? The guy who sounds like he gargles with turpentine? And does covers of old Motown songs and jazz classics? It's hard to butcher those great songs, but with his sandpaper voice, he comes very close And I'll never forget what he did to Tim Hardin's great song, Reason to Believe. Omg, like fingernails on a blackboard!
@@veritastriumphantchurch776 - LOL omgosh - Rods a legend compared to these 2 bozo's - do you think he only does motown then ur musical knowledge isn't very good

very funny point!
Hyman & Carbuncle.,. great duo .
He created his best work after he went deaf.
Great point !
Garfunkel should count his lucky stars he ever met Simon.
... yeah - good singer, though.
Simon never had a voice close to Art's and he knew it.

Without that voice the songs would have barely been heard.

A bunch of useless conjecture about Bob Dylan.
Simon AND Garfunkel.....................
Why didn't Garfunkel ever teach himself guitar or some instrument and put in the work for his own chops?

Simon does not compare to Bob Dylan in any way, shape or form. Apples and oranges. Dylan is pure Americana.

Dunno care....Simon plays wonderful music.
