Description
by Pete Chrisp (Author)
In 1957, two teenage high school friends obsessed with the music of Elvis Presley and the Everly Brothers, formed a doo-wop music duo and released their first record entitled 'Hey, Schoolgirl', performing under the name of Tom & Jerry.
Who could anticipate that, within five years, these two, bright, well-educated, young Jewish boys from Queens, New York City, would go on to become the most successful folk-rock duo in music history? Simon & Garfunkel. All largely due to a song entitled 'The Sound of Silence'. Their spectacular career went on to produce five wonderful albums-the most celebrated being 1970's Bridge Over Troubled Water-one of the best-selling albums of all time. In this beautifully illustrated, independent publication, music writer and journalist Pete Chrisp explores how-despite his on-off relationship with Art Garfunkel, his often tempestuous private life and the political controversies surrounding his African masterpiece, Graceland-Paul Simon, now aged 82, has, after all these years, maintained world recognition as one of the greatest singer-songwriters of all time.Author Biography
