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 \u0026amp; 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sona Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/22\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781915343888\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192","brand":"Pete Chrisp","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45419020910773,"sku":"9781915343888","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_ccaa35ee-04e9-4be1-b5f8-3e07c1784880.jpg?v=1748390640","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/hearts-bones-the-life-and-music-of-paul-simon-the-illustrated-biography-9781915343888","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
