    They are Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel. They were a top folk music duo in the 60s and very early 70s. Simon wrote all of their songs...a true poet. Kathy’s Song and Bridge Over Troubled Water are two of my favorite songs by them. I wore out their albums when I was young. 😊🌹

And certainly explore Paul Simon from 1970s right through until today. Mid 70s is pure, smooth rock. Check out "me & Julio..." or "Late in the Evening"

It never really hit, but when they were on a tour in Europe, they heard it on the radio. Suddenly electric guitars were put on without their knowledge. It was now a big hit. Their manege had had electrified comp. Their fantastic career had begun.
