{"title":"Simon \u0026 Garfunkel","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe dulcet harmonies of Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel remain one of the more cherished sounds of the Sixties. The music made by the Forest Hills, New York, natives was fueled by a mutual love of early rock and roll and a search for inspiration beyond the conventional borders of folk and pop. Simon teamed up musically with childhood acquaintance Garfunkel in high school. Using the alias Tom and Jerry, they recorded an Everly Brothers-style original (\"Hey, Schoolgirl\") that sold 150,000 copies. Reverting to their surnames, Simon and Garfunkel scored a folk-rock hit with \"The Sounds of Silence,\" one of the cornerstone songs of 1965 with its urbane, poetical lyrics and astute blend of folk and rock elements.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"fakin-it-you-dont-know-where-your-interest-lies-1","title":"Fakin' It\/ You Don't Know Where Your Interest Lies","description":"\u003cp\u003eHere's a beautiful Mint copy of this underrated single...

However, Simon was not only growing as a songwriter at this point, but also as a studio producer, and the resulting recording of \"The Dangling Conversation\" has a beauty that transcends whatever lyrical shortcomings its \"poem\" origins might have.
