In total, Simon & Garfunkel won ten Grammy Awards and sold more than 100 million records. They were one of the best-selling music groups of the 1960s, challenging bands like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. They are widely considered to be one of the best musical duos of all time. Throughout their career, their music evolved from a standard folk rock sound to a much more experimental folk rock sound, and it always seemed to particularly resonate with the alienated youth of the Baby Boomer generation. What stands out about Simon & Garfunkel are mainly two things. First, Paul’s superb songwriting abilities. And second, how both really were a yin and yang. What better evidence of this than their mastery of harmonizing together. Both made each other better, and their songs still resonate with the youth of today.
