Simon & Garfunkel – Simon And Garfunkel’s Greatest Hits

Simon & Garfunkel – Simon And Garfunkel's Greatest Hits

Simon And Garfunkel's Greatest Hits is a classic 14-track collection bringing together many of the most enduring recordings from Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel's influential partnership. Originally released in 1972, the compilation draws on material recorded between 1964 and 1970, covering the duo's remarkable progression from intimate folk songwriting to richly produced folk rock and pop.

The collection opens with some of Simon & Garfunkel's best-known songs, including “Mrs. Robinson”, “For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her”, “The Boxer” and “The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)”. “Mrs. Robinson”, originally recorded during the Bookends sessions and famously associated with The Graduate, became one of the duo's signature songs, while “The Boxer” demonstrates the increasingly elaborate production and vocal arrangements that characterised their later work.

Also included are early classics such as “The Sound Of Silence”, “I Am A Rock”, “Scarborough Fair / Canticle” and “Homeward Bound”, alongside “America”, “Kathy's Song”, “El Condor Pasa (If I Could)” and “Cecilia”. The collection culminates with “Bridge Over Troubled Water”, the title track of the duo's final studio album and one of their most celebrated recordings.

The compilation provides a concise overview of Simon & Garfunkel's core recording career, from the mid-1960s through to their final album together in 1970. For fans of Simon & Garfunkel, Paul Simon, Art Garfunkel, 1960s folk rock, acoustic pop and classic singer-songwriter music, this CD brings together some of the defining songs of the era.
