Simon & Garfunkel

Take one of the absolute greatest songwriter and singer of American folk, pair him with the angelic voice and perfect harmonies of his childhood friend, and you get the iconic duo Simon & Garfunkel. In five years only from The Sound Of Silence (1964) to Bridge Over Troubled Water (1969), they recorded five landmark albums and wrote the most majestically beautiful songs of the era. And Paul Simon’s fingerstyle guitar isn’t too shabby either.
