Simon & Garfunkel: Song By Song

'Every generation throws a hero up the Pop charts' wrote Paul Simon in The Boy In The Bubble. He and Arthur Garfunkel were most unlikely candidates for Pop stardom, but as generational culture shifted, they perfectly articulated the minutiae of those changes. Together, and then separately, the duo charted the course of Folk-Rock through the 1960s and 1970s, from 'The Sound Of Silence' to 'Bridge Over Troubled Water', until the 1982 reunion Concert In Central Park, took them into a new level of success for newer generations. This is the full story of Paul & Art, song by song, album by album, also taking in their earliest adventures as Tom & Jerry, their subsequent solo careers, as well as their sporadic reunions. AUTHOR: Ensorcelled by the mystical vinyl codex 'a-wop-bop-a-loo-bop-a-lop-bam-boom' at age 8, Andrew Darlington embarked on a lifetime's quest to decipher the magical incantation's profundity, traipsing in not entirely straight lines of zigzag wandering across decades of enchantment. As part of UV Pop, Andrew's own lyrics can be found on the CD See You Later, Cowboy, and a collection of his popular The Eternal Assassin Chronicles have been published by Tule Fog Press (2025). There's also his history of The Yardbirds (2025) published by SonicBond Press, following his books on the Hollies, the Human League and the Small Faces. 32 colour illustrations
