I totally agree! Why are these stupid and insulting things like the death of people that’s not dead or like this stupid title “ look he is not gone sing again” - a fact that we all are put to old age and death but why do you think this should be told in a fashion as if this was news or he got what he deserves, kind of - this is below any good standard journalism and you’re the one to be ashamed. Fact my ass assuming
I am a big fan of both of them, have seen them in concert more than once and saw Art G. several times. I would not see them if they were to perform together - which will never happen - it would never be the same. They had their time in the spotlight as a duo ; it’s over. Paul continues to write and create and evolve which is wonderful.
It might be hard to see Art and Paul perform again in their deteriorating conditions that have befallen on them at this point in their blessed lives on the road we all must travel. Let us be forever thankful that we shared the same time as them on that road in time. Thank you Mr. Simon - Mr. Garfunkel for bringing love.and joy into a world that so dearly needs it. Amen !
It is nice to know that Simon And Garfunkel are still in perfectly good health, as I loved nearly all their joint work, although Paul Simon has now lost his voice a bit. It is a blessing that they are both still with us, as we have now hit a time when most of the greats from the fifties and sixties are now dead. There are not so many of them still with us. Long live the remainder.
I’m 42. I would totally go see them! I didn’t even live through the 60’s or even 70’s for that matter, lol. I just know good music when I hear it! I learned to harmonize along with these guys!
Nothing stays the same and yet a reunion would be very desirable. However it is highly unlikely now, given their ages, relationship and health problems.
The fact that his voice recovered and that he’s not on his death bed negates the “will never sing again” in the title (unless I missed something in the video)
I don't know. I just get used to it. If I age 20 years in one night, that would be a shock, but you just get used to your aged look over time. If I can remain mobile and independent to the day I die, I'd consider that a blessing. So far none of my grandparents, parents had achieved that, so I am trying to be the first.
@@tomsd8656 i think it's a crime that we don't have doctors for people like the mobile vet who makes house calls for our beloved pets when they're terminally ill or in pain. why can't people have that option? like if they want to go while they still have some marbles & not have to just deteriorate, i believe it would be a compassionate blessing to help end it for them as painlessly as possible & with dignity. 🙏💜🕯️🌱🐾👣🌿🌎🕊️
I'm sure, that totally broke Art's heart to not be able to sing & do what he loves and made a lifetime of. Getting old sucks so bad because it just fucks with everything and it will, wear you down, sooner or later... no matter what you do or have done so please try and always remember to take good care of yourselves while you can and hopefully it will pay off and benefit you positively in old age. Two (or 3) of the most important things you could ever do for yourself: 1. If you smoke, QUIT! 2. If you don't - Don't Start! 3. Be responsible for your body and life by leaving seriously dangerous and life-threatening drugs alone. If you absolutely must do something to alter your brain and feel 'buzzed', smoke a little weed or responsibly have a few drinks here and there. Constant, sloppy use of any of the other shit will get you sooner or later & if it doesn't kill you, it'll wreck your body and health so fast you won't ever realize what it's done to you until it's too late. Some people just never stop long enough to take the time to notice what's happened and is happening to themselves. Don't let that ever happen!
Both Art and Paul have been my idols for as long long as I can remember, there poetry has always been an inspiration both spiritually and practically, I have had the pleasure on two occasions to see them live, occasions that stay in my memory. As inevitable as iterated in their song, “time passes on” these amazing humans will leave us only with their music, it remains that like all great passages of history, we are left to enjoy their genius, for they may both stop singing live but the poetry of life will always be heard. We should thank God that they have given us so much to consider and so much joy in their music and lyrics.🙏
Their music is STILL the very best and brings tears to my eyes. I wrote out the words to "Sounds of Silence" and learned to sign them. That tells a story of the non-hearing world.
Prior to 1977's 'What a Wonderful World', with James Taylor and Simon, Paul Simon wrote 'My Little Town' in 1975 with Garfunkel in mind. Both had My Little Town on their 1975 albums. Simon wanted Garfunkel to have a more gritty song to sing to contrast the angelic songs he'd been singing in the early 70's.
Paul Simon is correct. It would be pointless to reunite yet again. They have already done two reunion tours. Moreover, Paul says they do not particularly get along. So what is the point? It is time to move on. I think Paul's solo work is as good, if not better, than the Simon & Garunkel
No diffrent than pink floyd..... bunch of men ruined by the "craft" .....so ask yourself .....was it them.....or the "higher ups" making more monetized decisions over what actually got them where they are. ?????
His ageing has apparently slowed way down, yes. Either that or the hambones at Facts Verse are still doing their usual lame-ass job of checking things. I kind of suspect the latter here . . .
Paul hit mail on head pointless moving forward Paul Simon had the musical intrametal momentum Art was around for the ride sibling rivalry egos disrupted and mortality
It’s very presumptuous of Simon to say that people don’t want to see a reunion show. There are those of us who crave for the pair to sing again. What he has to understand is that no matter how he or Art feels, the show must go on. Trust me, I’ve done shows where I was not happy with a band mate, yet I did the show anyway, because the people wanted the show. It would be a great moment to have one last performance by these two.
Musicians are not the property of their fans. If you've already committed to a particular gig then of course you should do it if you're able, even if you have issues with a bandmate, but there's a huge difference between honouring existing obligations and planning new ones. As much as I would love to hear a final Simon & Garfunkel reunion, especially if it involved at least one new song, they owe us nothing. Paul Simon has retired from touring, and although he still writes and records, sadly he is suffering from hearing loss which severely impairs his ability to perform live, so even if they resolved their differences unfortunately even one more reunion performance would remain unlikely. Both of them are 81 years old and in their long and brilliant careers have given more than we could reasonably ask.
@@SunbatherInTheSnow You are correct. Musicians are not the property of the fans. But first and foremost, the fans dictate whether you as a musician have any business even putting on a show if no one is going to pay to see you. And as a musician that in the business to make money, it makes sense that if the fans are willing to shell out money to see you one more time, then it would behoove you make that happen. I as a musician listen to what my fans say, and work my future shows accordingly. In the end, a professional musician will cater to the fans when good money is part of the package. As with any job, when you are at work, leave your private life at home. and when you are at home, leave your work at work. That goes for any profession, not just musicians. So what I'm saying is, that Simon and Garfunkel for whatever reasons they may have to keep from doing a show, should pack those differences aside, and do one more show for the fans, collect the money, and go home. At the end of the day everyone wins. The musicians get paid, the fans get the music and experience they yearned for. Life is too short to quibble over why, just do what is required of the job that the musician signed up for. Fans are why the musician even has a job. So yes, they many not own the musician, but fans do pay their salary by going to shows, and buying the music. plain and simple.
We Remember!! We haven't forgotten the creepy shit he did to Simon! Look that up. . Then you will know . . He was a Weirdo and still is! I was there!! All of that crap back then, between them. . was ALL Garfunkel...the musical collaboration was outstanding. .no doubt's about that! They influenced our lives and touched us all.... back then!! Credit where it's due. The music IS Still great!
My memory of S&G has always been on the radio. They were a dynamic duo that sung and related to everyone. Their music sings to my soul to this day. I remember listening to Art’s rendition of “I Only Have Eyes For You.” While it was not the version that The Flamingos made iconic, the focus of his version is romance. I watched the Black Mirror episode Demon 79. You can hear the song Bright Eyes in the episode from the beginning, midway and at the end.
I think another reason they broke up was Art was focusing more on his acting career which lessened the amount of time working in the studio with Paul and he was not keeping Paul in the loop with how long he was going to be away from the studio. Plus if they don’t get along, at their age why put themselves through that stress especially if they don’t need the money.
I think another reunion is highly unlikely and the duo is best remembered for their past work. Garfunkel's singing on the Watership Down theme tune Bright Eyes still makes me cry.
You can't have Art without Paul. Paul was the music creator and Art brought it to life. Without Paul's songs, Art really would not have gotten as far as he did. Both deserve accolades. You cannot have one without another.
What a complicated relationship those two have. First Paul Simon signed a record deal that excluded Art, without telling him, when they were very young. And Art said that was a betrayal that he never forgot. But years later, Paul Simon fixated on his belief that because Art went to Mexico to have a very small part make a movie that kept him on the set for months, instead of a few weeks, Art was determined to become a movie star and reject music. But Art said he never thought about being a movie star and wished that he'd asked to be released from being on set when it became clear that it was taking too long. So they both experienced a feeling of betrayal by the other, and neither can let it go, despite years of expert, passionate, successful and very beautiful collaborations. They probably know each other better than most people in the world (except their immediate families), and yet, they can't forgive each other for the slights, insults and real or perceived betrayals. But so many duos who are very close suffer from overexposure to each other, like the Everly Brothers, the Righteous Brothers, the Andrews Sisters... Maybe it's the inevitable result of how intense it is to tour the world for years with someone, performing the same material over and over. The stress builds up and they can't wait to be free of each other.
I probably would, but with Paul's hearing problem and Art's voice not being what once was, even if they got along it just wouldn't sound like the same duo that sang all our favorite songs back in the 60s.
I would take Art and Art junior on tour before I see Art and Paul reunite. Quite frankly. I think Art is more talented than Paul can ever be, and I love his voice and he is humble something that Paul isn’t.
I like their music, but a reunion would probably be disappointing to most fans, as their expectations would likely be unrealistically high. These guys have nothing to prove, at least to me. There comes a time for all of us to slow down and not try to do the same things we did half a century ago.
For a guy who couldn't play an instrument and never wrote a song, I'd say he lucked out to the max by riding on the coattails of Paul Simon! I grew up with Simon & Garfunkel, and I even hung out with Art in the late sixties, but he certainly was a lucky guy!
I think the quality of his unique voice “ makes him a little bit more than lucky”! Paul no doubt was the creative half of the duo but there was nothing “outstanding about his vocals” (in my humble opinion)!
@@darrellsmith3602 I think Paul has a great and very underrated voice, and even has the better solo discography of the two (albeit largely due to his songwriting talents). That said, when they were together, something magical happened, and I don't know if any other band in history has been so much more than the sum of their parts. Interestingly, when they were going to record Bridge Over Troubled Water, both singers thought the other should sing lead. It's probably for the best that Paul Simon won that argument.
I enjoyed their work together as well as each individually. A reunion seems both unlikely and unnecessary. I think the range and depth of Simon’s work over the years has been extraordinary. His work alone has been quite satisfying.
it is in my memory , when i was still a single in the road of magsaysay drive, the folk house ,like corkroom, Sam's, strawhot, pizza, and other folk house drink beer and listen to the sound of their guitar, it is wow to me , the sound of silent, bridge over trouble water. I was feeling peace and quite.
Kudos for this video about Mr. Garfunkel! Having worked with Art as a tour producer during his recovery, and as someone who has lectured about the duo for a number of years, i wanted to (humbly) correct a fact that is slightly inaccurate in this piece, and also add a point. Their duet on 'What a Wonderful World' was not the only 'reunion' of the two in 1975. They also released a single that year called "My Little Town" which reached #9 in Billboard, performed it on the second episode of 'Saturday Night (Live)', and appeared in a very humorous segment on the Grammy Awards telecast, which can be found on TH-cam. The dup also DID tour in 1983, a result of the Central Park show, though the intended album was, indeed, canceled, as you mention. Keep up the good work!
I would go see them, even though I realize their voices have aged. Everyone wanted a Beatles reunion but you can't expect artists to do something just because we want them to.
I went to a reunion tour in Chicago in the 90s, and it was amazing. I don't understand the issue between these guys. They were perfect together. What's the problem??? Anyway, whatevs. I fell in love and married twice, and now I'm twice divorced. Relationships can be quirky. Expectations and reality don't always coincide. Shit is wut shit is.
That's Pete Seeger with Springsteen at the 3:38 mark. I'd imagine others have noticed that as well but I didn't have time to read the 300+ comments. Overall, this was a really nice video about Art G. (the iconic voice of one of the greatest duos of all time.)
A studio musician friend once remarked that the only performer(s) he resented were S&G. He had worked with some pretty famous (and famously difficult) stars, but he said that S&G were insufferable due to their enormous egos.
I'm not ruling out the possibility of a reunion of these wonderful musicians. After all, who ever thought that Cat Stevens (Yusef) would return a few years ago!
I absolutely would go to a reunion of Simon and Garfunkel. I miss them both and am sorry they have so many issues with each other. Wish they could get past it and give the people what they want.
I saw Simon and Garfunkel in concert many yrs ago. They were performing in Queens NY. They were great to see in concert. But everyone ages and doubt if they will ever sing together again. They were a great duo. Each of them did produce some good singles on their own.
Certainly would! It’s a shame that Paul did do that all those years ago to Art. And I believe Art. Paul has always been a very moody person. All Art wants to do is give the fans what they want. You can obviously see the love with Art. Paul sings about love and laments. Need I say more.
"In a 2010 concert in New Orleans, which was part of a Simon & Garfunkel reunion tour, then, 78-year-old Art Garfunkel..." He was not 78 in 2010. It's a very interesting topic for me, but with such a mistake this early in the video, I can't justify another 7 minutes. I hope you only misspoke and the rest of the video is accurate.
Пол и Арт, Питер -Пол и Мэри, Баез, Боб Дилан, Род Стюарт, Би Джиз, Демис Руссос, Марк Нопфлер, Искатели и Джудит Дарем . Можно перечислять ещё долго. Вот какое было поколение. Нам повезло быть и жить в то время.
What about those of us who purchased the music of S and G? Our money made them successful and rich. S and G owe us ,,, they stay together and provide continued music for us ... there is no reason why they couldn't pursue other goals separately. Do not ignore the people who 'made' you!
@@FactsVerse Many of them but "Old Friends" has a special meaning to me. I lived in NYC as a kid and we'd go to Central Park and I would see the elderly men at opposite ends of the same park bench, so they would each have an arm rest. They would sit and talk and feed the pigeons.
@timblane... The thumbnails you've chosen to use for artists like Art Garfunkel and Paul Simon seem to be current photos, very respectful, and age-appropriate ... I'm just curious, Why are you using the thumbnails you've chosen to use for artists like Stevie Nicks and Linda Ronstadt from well over 50 years ago when they were much younger ... Why are you trying to be so raunchy and disrespectful of women?
@@Simpleot2hk He's in a lot of pop TV programmes. You probably don't watch them. Er ist in vielen Schlager- TV-Sendungen. Wahrscheinlich kucken Sie das nicht.
@@Michael_from_EU_Germany Nein, so etwas schaue ich tatsächlich nicht. Ich hab ihn mal gegoogelt. Aber als Star würde ich ihn nicht bezeichnen. Er war mal beim Silbereisen und bei Andy Borg. Das ist aber schon 1-2 Jahre her. In den großen Schlagersendungen ist er aber sonst eigentlich nicht zu sehen. Was merkwürdig ist, dass er die Lieder von Simon & Garfunkel nachsingt, sie aber als Lieder seines Vaters bezeichnet. Dabei hat Art Garfunkel sie weder geschrieben noch alleine gesungen.

The fact that his voice recovered and that he’s not on his death bed negates the “will never sing again” in the title (unless I missed something in the video)

Paul might have been the creative genius but he needed Art to bring the Power to Paul’s creations!

I will stand corrected but Art Garfunkel Jr. is not the name of Art's son......I do believe that it is James.
0:35 - You said he was 78 yrs. old in 2010. No, he was 69, sir. Art Garfunkel was born on November 5, 1941.
Many have sung Bridge, including Elvis. However, none. Say it NONE have sung it as beautifully and achingly as Garfunkel's voice.

One of our favorites too, you've got taste! Which song comes in at second place?
I know this is selfish, but I NEED to get to see SnG !! Please come to SACRAMENTO, CA!! You helped me beat cancer!
Art Garfunkel was a great great man and a great singer and he provided quality upscale entertainment for decades thank you art❤
Is, not was.
00:02 Looks like Dr. Sturgess on the tv show Young Sheldon.
I think another reunion is highly unlikely and the duo is best remembered for their past work. Garfunkel's singing on the Watership Down theme tune Bright Eyes still makes me cry.
You can't have Art without Paul. Paul was the music creator and Art brought it to life. Without Paul's songs, Art really would not have gotten as far as he did. Both deserve accolades. You cannot have one without another.
It would be a dream come true for me. I'm sure I would have tears in my eyes all the time.
Hi how are you doing 😊
He is still so handsome...
🤔Did you forget to put your glasses 👓 on ?. He is now a very old 🧓 looking man !. Nothing wrong with that. It's called life.......
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see?
The person pictured playing the banjo at about 3-41 is Pete Seeger not Art Garfunkel.
Great job of editing, huh?
What a complicated relationship those two have. First Paul Simon signed a record deal that excluded Art, without telling him, when they were very young. And Art said that was a betrayal that he never forgot. But years later, Paul Simon fixated on his belief that because Art went to Mexico to have a very small part make a movie that kept him on the set for months, instead of a few weeks, Art was determined to become a movie star and reject music.
But Art said he never thought about being a movie star and wished that he'd asked to be released from being on set when it became clear that it was taking too long.
So they both experienced a feeling of betrayal by the other, and neither can let it go, despite years of expert, passionate, successful and very beautiful collaborations.
They probably know each other better than most people in the world (except their immediate families), and yet, they can't forgive each other for the slights, insults and real or perceived betrayals. But so many duos who are very close suffer from overexposure to each other, like the Everly Brothers, the Righteous Brothers, the Andrews Sisters... Maybe it's the inevitable result of how intense it is to tour the world for years with someone, performing the same material over and over. The stress builds up and they can't wait to be free of each other.
Simon and Art gave us entertainment that really touched our hearts. Could never get enough of listening to them❤❤❤
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see?
I probably would, but with Paul's hearing problem and Art's voice not being what once was, even if they got along it just wouldn't sound like the same duo that sang all our favorite songs back in the 60s.
Sad but true. Still, we wish them all the best in life ❣
Oops! Your narration said in a 2010 concert tour when Art was 78. It’s 2023 and he’s 81 now. Attention to detail!
I would take Art and Art junior on tour before I see Art and Paul reunite. Quite frankly. I think Art is more talented than Paul can ever be, and I love his voice and he is humble something that Paul isn’t.
Yes, that’s a good idea, Art and his son can ride Simon’s coattails together and sing his songs 😆.
I got to see him at Jazz sat Lincoln Center a few years ago and he was amazing
Fun stuff! We're very happy to know that you had a chance to see Art live. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
I like their music, but a reunion would probably be disappointing to most fans, as their expectations would likely be unrealistically high. These guys have nothing to prove, at least to me. There comes a time for all of us to slow down and not try to do the same things we did half a century ago.
Would I attend an S & G reunion concert ? In a heartbeat !!
Fun stuff, thanks for sharing What is your favorite S&G song?
I did not know this about his singing, how sad, glad my mom turned their songs to me. Thanks FV
You're very much welcome! We're glad to know that you love our video. If we may ask, what other types of video would you like to see on Facts Verse?
For a guy who couldn't play an instrument and never wrote a song, I'd say he lucked out to the max by riding on the coattails of Paul Simon! I grew up with Simon & Garfunkel, and I even hung out with Art in the late sixties, but he certainly was a lucky guy!
I think the quality of his unique voice “ makes him a little bit more than lucky”! Paul no doubt was the creative half of the duo but there was nothing “outstanding about his vocals” (in my humble opinion)!
@@darrellsmith3602 I think Paul has a great and very underrated voice, and even has the better solo discography of the two (albeit largely due to his songwriting talents). That said, when they were together, something magical happened, and I don't know if any other band in history has been so much more than the sum of their parts. Interestingly, when they were going to record Bridge Over Troubled Water, both singers thought the other should sing lead. It's probably for the best that Paul Simon won that argument.
I enjoyed their work together as well as each individually. A reunion seems both unlikely and unnecessary.
I think the range and depth of Simon’s work over the years has been extraordinary. His work alone has been quite satisfying.
REST IN PEACE!!
I am shocked that he was smoking at 78, when we know that smoking is detrimental to the vocal chords. Has he been smoking his entire life?
That was Pete Seeger singing with Springsteen, not Art Garfunkel
it is in my memory , when i was still a single in the road of magsaysay drive, the folk house ,like corkroom, Sam's, strawhot, pizza, and other folk house drink beer and listen to the sound of their guitar, it is wow to me , the sound of silent, bridge over trouble water. I was feeling peace and quite.
I would go to a Simon and Garfunkel concert in a New York minute!
Kudos for this video about Mr. Garfunkel! Having worked with Art as a tour producer during his recovery, and as someone who has lectured about the duo for a number of years, i wanted to (humbly) correct a fact that is slightly inaccurate in this piece, and also add a point. Their duet on 'What a Wonderful World' was not the only 'reunion' of the two in 1975. They also released a single that year called "My Little Town" which reached #9 in Billboard, performed it on the second episode of 'Saturday Night (Live)', and appeared in a very humorous segment on the Grammy Awards telecast, which can be found on TH-cam. The dup also DID tour in 1983, a result of the Central Park show, though the intended album was, indeed, canceled, as you mention. Keep up the good work!
I would go see them, even though I realize their voices have aged. Everyone wanted a Beatles reunion but you can't expect artists to do something just because we want them to.
I would love to see Simon and Garfunkel get together again. They were always my favorite. ❤
I went to a reunion tour in Chicago in the 90s, and it was amazing. I don't understand the issue between these guys. They were perfect together. What's the problem??? Anyway, whatevs. I fell in love and married twice, and now I'm twice divorced. Relationships can be quirky. Expectations and reality don't always coincide. Shit is wut shit is.
Hi how are you doing Mr Richard 😊
That's Pete Seeger with Springsteen at the 3:38 mark. I'd imagine others have noticed that as well but I didn't have time to read the 300+ comments. Overall, this was a really nice video about Art G. (the iconic voice of one of the greatest duos of all time.)
Although I love these two and their songs❤
I wouldn't go see them knowing how they feel about each other.
Absolutely yes I would attend their reunion tour.
I definitely would love to see them. I'd be there front row!! Love them both!
Us too! What is your favorite song?
A studio musician friend once remarked that the only performer(s) he resented were S&G. He had worked with some pretty famous (and famously difficult) stars, but he said that S&G were insufferable due to their enormous egos.
As one who couldn't carry a tune in a bucket, it's easy for me to recognize others who can't sing either . . .

I wish I'd gotten to see there last concert here in Australia.
I'm not ruling out the possibility of a reunion of these wonderful musicians. After all, who ever thought that Cat Stevens (Yusef) would return a few years ago!
THE GREATEST DUO - that will ever be.................NUFF SAID!
A reunion sounds nice. But when there is tension it comes out in your performance. Best to just break out an LP and listen.
I played that for my friends mother..and she can't stop talking about it 7 years later..the song was "April, come she will".
Very interesting, thanks for sharing! What other types of video would you like to see?
I absolutely would go to a reunion of Simon and Garfunkel. I miss them both and am sorry they have so many issues with each other. Wish they could get past it and give the people what they want.
Yoda
I. Think that age is catching up on them. ....but I would love to see them back again...👍
I saw Simon and Garfunkel in concert many yrs ago. They were performing in Queens NY. They were great to see in concert. But everyone ages and doubt if they will ever sing together again. They were a great duo. Each of them did produce some good singles on their own.
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. What is your favorite Simon & Garfunkel song?
My fav songs are Bridge Over Troubled Water and Sound of Silence by S & G. Two great songs!
"The Boxer"@@dianeaaronson9789
Brídge over troubled water
Yes I would go, so the could showcase both S& G hits and solo careers. If it’s any fun for them any more. What is the point?
Certainly would!
It’s a shame that Paul did do that all those years ago to Art. And I believe Art. Paul has always been a very moody person. All Art wants to do is give the fans what they want. You can obviously see the love with Art. Paul sings about love and laments. Need I say more.
Hi how are you doing Mr. Colin 😊
I am sad to see him so aged. The true tragedy would be losing the ability to sing 😢.
"In a 2010 concert in New Orleans, which was part of a Simon & Garfunkel reunion tour, then, 78-year-old Art Garfunkel..."
He was not 78 in 2010.
It's a very interesting topic for me, but with such a mistake this early in the video, I can't justify another 7 minutes. I hope you only misspoke and the rest of the video is accurate.
Пол и Арт, Питер -Пол и Мэри, Баез, Боб Дилан, Род Стюарт, Би Джиз, Демис Руссос, Марк Нопфлер, Искатели и Джудит Дарем . Можно перечислять ещё долго. Вот какое было поколение. Нам повезло быть и жить в то время.
If I could see both, I would, but we have their old songs on DVDs!
What about those of us who purchased the music of S and G? Our money made them successful and rich. S and G owe us ,,, they stay together and provide continued music for us ... there is no reason why they couldn't pursue other goals separately. Do not ignore the people who 'made' you!
That was Pete Seeger in the clip w/ Bruce Springsteen, not Art.
No reunion, time to move on.
That’s not Art with Bruce Springsteen. I’m sure many of your viewers also know, but for those who don’t, that’s Pete Seeger
In 2010 he was 78, 13 years later, he's gonna be 82?
S & G is all about that crystal clear singing to me (66) so the answer is no. The fact that they don't like one another doesn't help either..
Yes, I would go far to see a reunion.
Thanks for sharing! What is your favorite Simon and Garfunkle song?
@@FactsVerse Many of them but "Old Friends" has a special meaning to me. I lived in NYC as a kid and we'd go to Central Park and I would see the elderly men at opposite ends of the same park bench, so they would each have an arm rest. They would sit and talk and feed the pigeons.
@timblane... The thumbnails you've chosen to use for artists like Art Garfunkel and Paul Simon seem to be current photos, very respectful, and age-appropriate ... I'm just curious, Why are you using the thumbnails you've chosen to use for artists like Stevie Nicks and Linda Ronstadt from well over 50 years ago when they were much younger ... Why are you trying to be so raunchy and disrespectful of women?
Get your facts straight - they collabed on Paul Simon's song "My Little Town" in 1975, NOT "Wonderful World"
You bet. Those two were the best!
Saw Art at the State Theater in New Brunswick in the mid 90s.
Glad to know that you had a chance to see Art. Which of their songs appealed to you the most?
Not now no, but we will never forget them
3:37 : i'm fairly sure that's Pete Seeger w/Springsteen. I can't find anything re Art w/Bruce.
Still live on stage together with his son (who is a star in germany where he lives)
You find the videos with the live performances here on YT.
Thanks for watching! We're glad to know that you love our video. What other types of video would you like to see on Facts Verse?
I‘m from Germany but I never recognized that Garfunkel’s son is a star here.
@@Simpleot2hk He's in a lot of pop TV programmes. You probably don't watch them.
Er ist in vielen Schlager- TV-Sendungen. Wahrscheinlich kucken Sie das nicht.
@@Michael_from_EU_Germany Nein, so etwas schaue ich tatsächlich nicht. Ich hab ihn mal gegoogelt. Aber als Star würde ich ihn nicht bezeichnen. Er war mal beim Silbereisen und bei Andy Borg. Das ist aber schon 1-2 Jahre her. In den großen Schlagersendungen ist er aber sonst eigentlich nicht zu sehen. Was merkwürdig ist, dass er die Lieder von Simon & Garfunkel nachsingt, sie aber als Lieder seines Vaters bezeichnet. Dabei hat Art Garfunkel sie weder geschrieben noch alleine gesungen.
