It is such a terrible waste that these guys could not sustain their relationship. They created some of the most creative songs ever. Paul Simon, a brilliant songwriter, and Art Garfunkel, a realy bright guy with an astounding voice.

I wish I'd been there when they were young like that. Art was an angel, both in looks and voice. I love you guys ❤️💖.

Could be the most famous footage in music history. Best singer of all time.

Great wrecking crew member and Bread member and countless other accomplishments, Larry Knechtel brought in to play piano here. Great footage!

May 30th 2024, And this is still an iconic song

[marefisher]

This was the song my husband and I danced to at our wedding

[BrianMuzik-cs]

This is one of the classics of the last century.

[boborrahood]

The best songs, like this one, have already been written. No matter how much some are deluded by updates like A I and digital recording. This sounds better than any finished, slick product now passing for a song, even in it's first runthrough!

The Paul Simon look alike is Paul Simon’s brother

[dianne]

so many are so talented and experience attention and fame when they are young faster than they can mature and handle. relationships are affected or ruined. only to find in later years the ignorance and immaturity. this happens in many areas, especially marriage. we really should listen to our elders who lived it and know. ty for your music paul and art 🙏💜

Moving....wish they would not of busted up. Love the poetry of Paul's lyrics and Art's sublime and soaring vocals.

[giber]

Geea they are so young here. Anyone else think Paul is not really in to it? A bit sappy for me but I love S&G!

[jomarro]

Simon got most of the credit. Garfunkel was simply magical.

[lafayette]

I wonder if the piano player is Larry Knechtel, from Bread...
