Garfunkel was two years ahead of me at Columbia, but I never met him, let alone got to know him. But I just watched and listened to Simon and Garfunkel's 1981 CONCERT IN THE PARK on YouTube for almost the one-hundredth time. Both had to be geniuses. You can't be as good as both of them were without being geniuses. I think Simon was the greatest lyricist of the 20th Century. I think Garfunkel's rendition of BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER will go down as the SONG OF THE 20th CENTURY. Garfunkel's voice was unmatched, as were Simon's extraordinary lyrics. The tragedy was that Simon and Garfunkel, as SIMON AND GARFUNKEL, performed professionally only three years. Think of that. Only three years.... What if Brando and Streep had acted only three years...?
