| | Paul Simon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Simon and Garfunkel's producer, Tom Wilson, overdubbed the track with electric guitar, bass, and drums, and released it as a single that eventually went to #1 on the pop charts in the United States. | | | Simon had gone to England after the initial failure of Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M., and pursued a solo career there, releasing the album The Paul Simon Song Book in the United Kingdom in 1965, but he returned to the USA to reunite with Garfunkel after "The Sound of Silence" began to enjoy commercial success. | | | Simon is a prolific songwriter and his output has been of the highest caliber. |

| | Song For The Asking - A Tribute to Simon & Garfunkel |
| | Paul's musical work in the early 1960's was primarily as a contracted songwriter in the famed "Brill Building machine." He would write songs for other artists to record. | | | Paul enjoyed a string of top-10 hits throughout the 1970's, including "Kodachrome," "50 Ways To Leave Your Lover" and "Still Crazy After All These Years." His eponymous 1971 album was a sparse break from the lush production of Bridge, and his follow-up albums continued to experiment with new sounds. | | | Paul celebrated the summer of 2002 with a tour of Europe, and hinted of a new album due sometime in the near future. |

| | The Paul Simon Songbook, 1965 |
| | Paul recorded his first solo album, The Paul Simon Songbook. | | | Simon's singing is earnest and intense for, without Garfunkel's harmonising, the songs take on an urgency. | | | Simon is still resting himself with the song, none of the complacency which is apparent in later versions is there (just listen to the way he attacks the penultimate verse "Fools, said I. |

| | Paul Simon - biographies, recordings |
| | Since Paul Simon's first hit in the days of doo-wop - "Hey Schoolgirl," recorded in 1957 with Art Garfunkel - Simon has proved to be a musical icon who is also an insatiable explorer of musical styles, collaborators, and genres. | | | It is, of course, rewarding to compare Paul Simon's solo version of the song from the 1965 Songbook, and his later interpretation with the Jessy Dixon Singers from 1974. | | | The basis of their live performances was still, basically, the songs from The Paul Simon Songbook, with updates from their current album. |

| | Simon & Garfunkel tunes form a small minority - three tracks that also are covered on the earlier Central Park record, plus "Cecilia." The Simon solo tunes are predictable too, with many of them again appearing on the earlier record, and the rest being the better tracks from the last two studio albums. | | | This album was the soundtrack for Simon's unsuccessful film of the same title; if it's as low-energy as this record, it's a must-miss. | | | The duo was never a true rival to their British counterparts, the Beatles, but they still made a lot of memorable recordings and were a major force on both the singles and LP charts. |
