These two sweethearts should never have broken up! With Paul's poetical, lyrical writings, and Art's angelic voice... This was a combination made in heaven. I'm still heartbroken after all these years, that they aren't even friends now. Still, we are blessed to have experienced them, and although I was born years after their beginnings, I am a die hard fan. I love them both.
I feel he was a little overshadowed by Paul's immense talent but he does have the voice of an angel. Like those choir boys. And his eyes look so luminous.
The innocence of the artists of the day ...it was special.....and these two they were very serious most of the time..... when people had something to say!
Every little word, every little syllable, every little intonation is in synch. Amazing! Must have taken a lot of work. Not accidental! They made beautiful music just singing with a guitar.....
You both didn't understand the comment. It didn't say it required a lot of work from Paul Simon to write, create the songs, but for them to reach this perfect synchronization and harmony of their voices. The technical work required to reach this symbiotic perfection and precision. That no doubt required much work. Though maybe, at a certain point it became so acquired for them to be almost automatic, as if they were a whole while singing.
I’m the youngest of 5 siblings and I remember the day my oldest sister brought home their greatest hits album. I’d sneak and listen every time she left the house. I was hooked on these two at an early age. I never got to see them live so I watch over and over and over their concert in Central Park. It’s just magical. Makes me sad to think I’ll never see them play together again. I tear up a little when they sing “Old Friends” as the time has come where “it’s strange to be 70.”❤️
I used to sneak in my brother's room and play it over and over He was the oldest and had the only record player 😊 Your post made me smile with my memory of S & G. Thank you
Adore them both & absolutely adored “59th BRIDGE STREET SONG”( my favorite!) I hear tossing & it immediately puts a smile on my face! Extraordinary “ SIMON & GARFUNKEL!” Hysterical w/ “Smothers Brothers” chiming in! Loved HOMEWARD BOUND.... ALL THEIR SONGS “PERIOD!”( Smothers Brothers were soooo funny too! They are a riot on this video!)
@@jeffdurand2452 I'm not 100 on it man...I have every album but I have them in one box set and each one has two or three extra unreleased songs on it... ...so if we're talking about each album as it stands on its own, as it was first released, then I can't remember which one was more perfectly crafted than the others!!!
@@mustangmikep51 Hi. Hugs back. have a flower. don't bogart that joint, my friend. etc. Anyway you can't possibly explain that time to anyone that age now. They'd never understand. And look at where we are now. Talk about lost hopes and fallen dreams. Take care and live long.
2020! Still love them both. Simon and Garfunkle PLUS Smothers Brothers! 😂🥰 Yes, still Feelin’ Groovey! 62 here, but felling 17!,! Thanks for the upload!
Los conocí cuando mi novio me trajo un single de USA donde estudiaba. Todavía no eran famosos en España. Yo estudiaba inglés y aprendíamos con sus canciones. Desde entonces son mis favoritos. Hablo de los años 65-70.
God I feel my heart so much and it's just so OPEN listening to these two! Homeward Bound is such a timeless song that everyone can relate to, not just telling the musician's life. And OVERS! Wow such an amazing gem, freshly made then! :) Where are today's Simon and Garfunkel, I wonder...?
Artie knew that mustache would annoy Paul so he most definitely kept it to agitate him, That’s what good friends do to each other from time to time,, Old Friends,,,,
I found and bought a vinyl copy of Bookends in a used bookstore for a dollar (even though I still have the copy I bought in 1981 when I was 13) and inside was the original New York Times review of the album from May 5 1968, perfectly preserved and long forgotten. A treasure within a treasure. ❤
SOME OF THE BEST SONGS ,AND I HAVE NEVER HEARD BETTER LYRICS FROM ANYONE BEFORE OR SINCE.WHERE PAUL SIMON PULLS THESE LYRICAL VERSES,EXCELLENT MELODIES AND THE ABILITY TO HARMONISE WITH ART GARFUNKLE,OR RATHER THE OTHER WAY AROUND, IS REMARKABLY THE BEST DUO THAT HAS COME AND GONE.
I would give my right arm (I am left handed), to be able to sing like either one of these guys... and to be able to play guitar like Paul Simon, amazing!
Paul Simon used a couple of the same guitars throughout his career. Here, his custom Guild looks brand-spanking new, before it turned dark amber with age. A big part of that duo's history. Unlike Art's mustache.
steve b And what’s truly amazing he claims having finished the song “a week ago” and his playing is spotlessly identical to that on the “Bookends” track!
I don't like that thatch on Artie's top Lip! I think he was feeling all grown up so grew one to prove the point. Wonder if he looks back at it and think... What the heck 😂
The last song Paul Simon introduces, Overs, I've never heard. It truly shows his musical, lyrical, and instrumental genius. The style of this music is more like improvised jazz, almost a bossa nova style, as most of the guitar cording he uses, is diminished and augmented, more familiar to jazz chord structures. A brilliant instrumental accompaniment to their singing of this duet.
Omg haha I kept cracking up during 59th street bridge song performance. They look like such nerdy, awkward guys, especially in those sweaters. I love how Paul awkwardly tries to laugh it off the whole time whereas Art always remains kind of stoic and more serious while he sings. Those two are such characters!
OWW WOW! Hearing Simon, Garfunkel and the Smothers Brothers sing together a bit. Saw Art Garfunkel sitting in row behind mine at the Hollywood Bowl about 91'. It was a Paul Simon Concert. Interesting tidbit Art was wearing a skirt. He wanted everyone to cooperate with Simon and moaned about that during the performance. Friend he was with mention how Paul Simon was at the beginning (45 minutes) late and that "we" should storm the stage. (Umm not ME). But I said "YES".😵😵
I'm always interested in the evolution of the insturments these 60s and 70s artists played... as the industry and builders technology improved . And as the success brought better money too....paul played a martin in the earliest days...he moved on to gibson and here a guild jumbo...later a Yamaha equivalent....these days hes back to Martin's om models mostly
Had they just been on a episode of Star Trek before singing "Feelin Groovy"? Wouldn't have pictured Art a doctor and Paul as a who knows what they did extra, but ya just never know.
Paul Simon apparently doesn't like singing "feelin groovy". In the background Art Garfunkel is very serious, whereas Paul Simon looks as though he's having fun.
So many years ago. Back when theycwrote songs with talent. God have mercy.. Life isnt about finding meaning in old pop songs. But loving a ALMIGHTY CREATOR. .WALKING IN HIS WAYS WE . WERE CREATED TO HAVE AXRELATION SHIP WITH GOD ALMIGHTY. THROUGH HIS SON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. KNOWING HIM LOVING HIM. HONOURING HIM. OUR SIN GETS IN THE WAY.

Huge success always makes enemies of former friends. Maybe it´s God´s justice.
* four
Simon and Garfunkel are American treasures!!!!
Art Garfunkel has the voice of an Angel.......Amazing talent.
are you quoting him ?
Samuel Cole Both have angel's voices ! their voices go very well together. It's a real happiness!!!
I feel he was a little overshadowed by Paul's immense talent but he does have the voice of an angel. Like those choir boys. And his eyes look so luminous.
Samuel Cole Ooooh, so what is Paul Simon? The frickin devil over here?
@@summerfallwintersleep7335 I can't help looking into his eyes.
Their voices could melt glaciers
Love the way Paul kind of laughs when Tom and Dick join them.
I'm 63 and I still sing this to the dog when we're out for a walk. LOL... Dog thinks I'm crazy but loves me anyway :)
Still crazy...
Hahaha I love this, you are a delightful woman!
Dog's right you know, but it (he/she?) doesn't hold it against you.
Crazy are the ones that don't like this song, one of the grooviest to me!
I'm 68 and I sing me and my arrow on our walks.
I love people who don’t get invited to parties 😍
I Love you too😍
I've been a fan for nearly 60 years. . . what a rich set of memories they evoke!
Feeling groovy was my fave song when I was four, born 1972, perfect tune before my nap…I would put it on myself.
The innocence of the artists of the day ...it was special.....and these two they were very serious most of the time..... when people had something to say!
Every little word, every little syllable, every little intonation is in synch. Amazing! Must have taken a lot of work. Not accidental! They made beautiful music just singing with a guitar.....
Not really. Simon often mentions that many of the songs came to him 90% complete. McCartney said the same thing. The gift.
A genius has a gift..... the kiss of inspiration...
Hard work? Only for those who want to outbalance their lack of genius...
You both didn't understand the comment. It didn't say it required a lot of work from Paul Simon to write, create the songs, but for them to reach this perfect synchronization and harmony of their voices.

Though maybe, at a certain point it became so acquired for them to be almost automatic, as if they were a whole while singing.
Not even the Foxtrot Party song was that fun! No way!
I reckon that Art Garfunkel had a powerful voice. Instead Paul Simon was a better song writer
Art Garfunkel was so handsome. I wish there were more songs posted from this particular show. Very good quality.

I’m 65 and oldest of four sisters is 71 this year. She had some of these albums.
me too, as I'm now 70, 71 in a couple of weeks.
I used to sneak in my brother's room and play it over and over
He was the oldest and had the only record player 😊
Your post made me smile with my memory of S & G. Thank you
Wow, I just have to say BRAVO to the presenter.
That was one of the most powerful introductions for ANY artists 8ve ever heard! Fantastic!
I love Art’s voice!❤️💖💕🥰
Overs still gets me every time. Goose bumps.
Geezus time goes by fast. I remember when Simon & Garfunkel looked older than me.
Adore them both & absolutely adored “59th BRIDGE STREET SONG”( my favorite!) I hear tossing & it immediately puts a smile on my face! Extraordinary “ SIMON & GARFUNKEL!” Hysterical w/ “Smothers Brothers” chiming in! Loved HOMEWARD BOUND.... ALL THEIR SONGS “PERIOD!”( Smothers Brothers were soooo funny too!

I remember when "Homeward Bound" came out. I was just eight, but I loved it. I listened to it many times during my teen years. Still love it.
Daniel Gun
😃
Daniel Gunter I heard these songs from child. thanks Auntie!
I was just finishing boot camp. Soon I would be catching a train home for 2 weeks leave before heading off for A school.
Daniel Gunter same😍😍😍
Homeward Bound, instead of Fortunate Son, should be the quasi-official song of the Vietnam war.
Everytime with Simon and Garfunkel. Thanks!
I found these brilliant artists 58 years ago,still love you xxxxzz
Bookends is one of the greatest albums ever recorded.
Absolutely
Yeah, but so is Wednesday morning 3am, parsley sage rosemary and thyme, Sounds of silence, and the rest who's names elude me!
@@SunshineSuperstar They are good. But Bookends is more perfect.

Still great after all these years !!
From Lisbon
Paul wrote all those songs - incredible
wow. I am all caught up I want to cry. (born 1953 so no surprise - this was my joy as a young girl growing up)
1954 here..Hi Sis!! WE had it all ,didn't we? didn't realize how good we had it! LOVE to you+yours
@@mustangmikep51 Hi. Hugs back. have a flower. don't bogart that joint, my friend. etc. Anyway you can't possibly explain that time to anyone that age now. They'd never understand. And look at where we are now. Talk about lost hopes and fallen dreams. Take care and live long.
Helen Lauer, I too was born in 1953 and loved all of their music. Too bad they aren’t speaking to each other any more.
Same here, born Sept 53. I adore these two.
I saw Art sing in 2017 and he was amazing but... Paul... Paul is the genius
Yes, he is. So very much. How lucky we are to have been here to witness his genius.
Grew up with these two... and with the Smothers Brothers. 73 years old, and I remember when they first came on the scene...
Instant happiness as soon as I hear the chords of this song! Never fails.
I love how artie carries himself
He always hunched down and stood a step back to make Paul feel better about being short.
2020! Still love them both. Simon and Garfunkle PLUS Smothers Brothers! 😂🥰
Yes, still Feelin’ Groovey! 62 here, but felling 17!,!
Thanks for the upload!
Ah the sixties, the good old days, at least the parts I remember.

man those are some tight harmonies
“Time is tapping on my forehead/hanging from my mirror/rattling the teacups...”
Love them; always will...and Art's little son..
Who do I love more--Simon & Garfunkel or the Smothers Brothers? That's a tough call. Oh wait, I don't have to choose! Love this!
Four Genius' right there.
S & G's timing and harmonies were so perfect. I don't think I've heard anyone else like them since.
They had great harmony
Monumental talents of my youth. I love their harmonies and subjects.
God I feel my heart so much and it's just so OPEN listening to these two! Homeward Bound is such a timeless song that everyone can relate to, not just telling the musician's life. And OVERS! Wow such an amazing gem, freshly made then! :)
Where are today's Simon and Garfunkel, I wonder...?
What a perfect duo...
Artie knew that mustache would annoy Paul so he most definitely kept it to agitate him,
That’s what good friends do to each other from time to time,,
Old Friends,,,,
The good old days of good music.
I found and bought a vinyl copy of Bookends in a used bookstore for a dollar (even though I still have the copy I bought in 1981 when I was 13) and inside was the original New York Times review of the album from May 5 1968, perfectly preserved and long forgotten. A treasure within a treasure. ❤
'On a tour of one night stands' thats life for most of us in our 20's. Still so relevant.
Simon and Garfunkel and the Smother Brothers. What a treat! Thanks.
+Muda no Sushi You're Welcome...
Yeah, I can't decide who me and my friend should go as for haloween out of the two.
+Mayonnaise Giraffe Monstrosities my friend and I are going as Simon and Garfunkel this year hehe :)
Awesome!
Cinto tanta saudades festa dupla,que falta eles fazem,.
this is a jewel....
No band, just him with a guitar
They're so close like a married couple. I love art
I love Paul
I love them both equally.
This was wonderful!!!!
I saw them live in early i0s - what a treat!!!
I love walking over the bridge.
So wonderful to find this right away... I woke up for once feelin' groovy and found this when I searched for the song!
I love Artie Garfunkel even with the stash.
So much CUTENESS!! :D
as a child I saw this.....it enacted my abiding love for the semetic brown eyed lovely. (Later-"Take me to the Mardi Gras"). I love Paul Simon
Paul was so cute....♥️♥️♥️
Spellbinding talent.
Overs is such an underrated song. Bookends as an album is. It should be mentioned in the same sentence as Sgt. Pepper's and Pet Sounds in my book.
Artist of this period were real musicians. Not just yelling obscenities. They made musical statements!
Absolutely right.
Oh yes I agree
Exactly. The crap they call music today, is sacrilege! 😟
SOME OF THE BEST SONGS ,AND I HAVE NEVER HEARD BETTER LYRICS FROM ANYONE BEFORE OR SINCE.WHERE PAUL SIMON PULLS THESE LYRICAL VERSES,EXCELLENT MELODIES AND THE ABILITY TO HARMONISE WITH ART GARFUNKLE,OR RATHER THE OTHER WAY AROUND, IS REMARKABLY THE BEST DUO THAT HAS COME AND GONE.
🎼Slow down, u move too fast 🎶 (i still sing it...) 🎵
I remember watching this on TV. What a terrific musical team. So sorry that they parted ways but that is life!
I would give my right arm (I am left handed), to be able to sing like either one of these guys... and to be able to play guitar like Paul Simon, amazing!
You would have a hard time playing guitar one handed....
Paul Simon used a couple of the same guitars throughout his career. Here, his custom Guild looks brand-spanking new, before it turned dark amber with age. A big part of that duo's history. Unlike Art's mustache.
Terrible mustache....mdr....it makes my night...😂

Very fun, takes me back. Feeling groovy.
songs from Heaven~Thank💎You
Thank you for sharing. It's unbelieveble.
That's some badass set design.
Music of the ages, poetry for forever. I’m actually homeward bound tomorrow morning!
Awwww look at Art and his wee lovely mustache 😋
Profesora Nut And so skinny! What a baby. 🥰
@@texas1949 Yes! Adorable 🥰
Been my favorite group since I was 8..
I think the last time I heard Overs was 50 years ago! Nice jazz and blues vibe.

Yes agree. Great phrasing as well. He makes the lyrics so crisp.
Probably my favourite by S&G, such an intimate song. One of their best, along with Old Friends; in my opinion.
I never heard anybodyelse singing excpt simon ad Garfukle This song is only them and the best.
That snotbreaker is just to funny, in a smooth and wonderful way of course. Beautiful clip.
I THINK I SAW THIS EPISODE I WAS SO YOUNG THOUGH
Art Garfunkel looks like he just came over form a filming of Star Trek - TOS.
Omg haha I kept cracking up during 59th street bridge song performance. They look like such nerdy, awkward guys, especially in those sweaters. I love how Paul awkwardly tries to laugh it off the whole time whereas Art always remains kind of stoic and more serious while he sings. Those two are such characters!
Paul Simon looks like those people singing about washing your hands or whatnot in between commercials in children channels.
Adorable.
Awesome! Now that's way back in the day!! Great stuff! Thx for sharing.
You can clearly tell that Simon was into Star Trek
Or was Star Trek into Simon & Garfunkel?
Spock?
OWW WOW! Hearing Simon, Garfunkel and the Smothers Brothers sing together a bit.

3:34, Artie’s got a mustache?! 😂
Looks like he’s had his teeth done too, I think? 😊👍
he played one of the coming of age characters in "Carnal Knowledge" and had to have a beard:))

what a couple!!
It is fun to see them when they were so ypung…. about 27 years old.
Wish they’d stayed together.
Wonderful!
