"What do I know that you may value? It's what *you* know that *I* have forgotten."

That hit me a little hard ;n;

I love this man so much. He has the voice of an angel.

One of my musical heroes.  A poet with a voice of an angel.

I have no words to describe how important You Are....your voice...with Paul Simon...the best ever

[lebarosky]

Art is just about as talented and beautiful as they come.

Art Garfunkel was a large contributing factor to what made the duo of Simon & Garfunkel so great. I also loved his solo album 'Angel Clare' and I always felt he deserved more appreciation than he usually got, both as a musician and as a fine human being. He was the perfect complementary counterbalance to Paul Simon, both musically and in terms of personality. This sweet and poignant letter reaffirms all of that in my estimation. All the best to you, Art - and many thanks for five decades of lovely musical inspiration.

When I was in school, we had a band of two. I was Garfunkel and my friend was Simon, and we sang all of the Simon and Garfunkel songs. All the lyrics are embedded in my mind forever. Thank you Simon and Garfunkel. There has never before or after been music like yours. Lots of love. 🌸🌸

Very brave to give such a personal speech, I would argue Arthur had the most rich voice on the planet

[kalleklp]

No matter what, Art..you will forever be a inspiration for generations to come..

That was so lovely! He is so vital to the sound of Simon & Garfunkel and is totally underrated for his contributions to the 60s culture

[rfhundley]

Thank you for this. I'm 70, and your music helped me get through some tough times and boosted the satisfaction of all times.

One of the most beautiful voices of any genre of music.

I grew up listening to my parents listen to Simon & Garfunkel and then in my twenties rediscovered it again and also discovered Art Garfunkels solo works. When I was married me and my wife took my parents to the Albert Hall to see Garfunkel for n concert and he brought his wife and young son James onto the stage. Some years later we all went to Hyde Park to see Simon and Garfunkel perform their Old Friends show. I’ve been a child, a teenager, a married man and a father listening to this man’s incredible voice, and my own parents were young when they listened to his music. So many decades. God bless Art Garfunkel and his family. Life is a strange and sometimes beautiful trip.

Art - you are still the master in any key, in any register.  We all wish we could sing like you - at 22 or 72, and hopefully at 92! 

[kevinhind]

what a beautiful, wonderful man! Thank you art for your presence in this world! you've made it a better place!

[rbeygarcia]

He was a handsome one, as a youngster. He's done a great job of keeping his kids out of prying media eyes, because I've never seen any of them anywhere. And I live in NYC and get around to different media events.

[TheHManShow]

This man is truly something else! And truly underrated in my opinion

[holleyjomartinez]

Grew up on his music . . . Growing older with his music. He’s a class act. ♥️

[matthewcarlon]

wow, you will have to excuse me for being of a younger generation. I never saw this til now and I could spend years around this guy just listening to him and giving me his knowledge of this world and life experiences but most of all, that joys and world of singing, I mean this guy could teach a baby how to sing, just a beautiful being he is

[zbytniewski]

Art Garfunkel Many people in this world love you because you have brought so much love to us. God Bless you and your family.
