| Singer and actor, born in Forest Hills, New York, USA. He teamed up with Paul Simon as a teenager, forming a duo called Tom and Jerry, and (as Simon and Garfunkel) issuing their first album, Wednesday Morning 3 am in 1964. ‘The Sound of Silence’ (1965) brought them their first major success as a duo, followed in 1968 by the soundtrack for the film The Graduate and the album Bridge Over Troubled Water (1970), which won a record six Grammies and topped both the UK and US charts. The duo split up following Garfunkel's decision to go into acting. He made his debut in Catch 22 (1970), and later films included Carnal Knowledge (1971), Bad Timing (1979), Good to Go (1986), and Boxing Helena (1993). He continued to record as a soloist, beginning with the album, Angel Clare (1973), and achieved a UK number 1 with ‘Bright Eyes’ (1979), the theme song from the film Watership Down. There have been occasional reunion concerts with Simon. |
