GRAMMY award-winner Art Garfunkel, born Arthur Ira Garfunkel on November 5, 1941, in Forest Hills, Queens, New York City, is an American singer, poet, and actor. He is best known as one-half of the legendary folk-rock duo Simon & Garfunkel, alongside singer-songwriter Paul Simon.
Garfunkel met Paul Simon in elementary school, and the two began performing together as teenagers, initially as “Tom & Jerry.” They gained recognition in the 1960s with their folk music duo, Simon & Garfunkel, known for their intricate harmonies and introspective lyrics. Their debut album, “Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M.” (1964), received moderate success, but it was their second album, “Sounds of Silence” (1966), that catapulted them to fame. The album’s title track became a hit single, followed by other classics like “The Sound of Silence,” “Scarborough Fair/Canticle,” and “Bridge Over Troubled Water.”

Simon & Garfunkel went on to release several more successful albums, including “Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme” (1966), “Bookends” (1968), and the aforementioned “Bridge Over Troubled Water” (1970).

In addition to his work with Simon & Garfunkel, Art Garfunkel has pursued a solo career, releasing several albums showcasing his distinctive tenor voice.
