To name Simon & Garfunkel’s greatest hits is to list some of music’s greatest songs—a harmonious balance created by two tougher than they look New York City neighborhood kids who can never quite find the same equilibrium in their personal relationship as they do in the grooves of a record. This is the story of Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel—a beautiful, bountiful tragedy set to music that we have enjoyed for 60 years and still hope resolves happily before the final verse is sung.
