Just discovered this today (in 2022). What a gem of a conversation. Art is such a gracious, intelligent, humble and kind human being. Love him.

His singing had me in tears. So very pure and sincere and brought back so many memories.

How blessed those of us are who grew up while Art and Paul built the framework for our life.

I had no idea how intelligent and thoughtful Art Garfunkel is. I have new found respect and admiration for the man. Thanks for sharing this with the world.

Art was born with A magnificent gift of singing angels, and Paul was born with the gift of a true poet. Together, they took Paul's poetical lyrics, and sang them into the history books. With Art's angelic voice, Paul's writing took on wings to fly.

Garfunkel is a natural storyteller, to melody. When he begins to sing, you just have to listen. His voice is like shimmery, trembling starlight, over velvet.

His speaking voice is as beautiful and elegant as his singing voice.

When he started singing Kathy's Song (or as I called it, "Abbey's Song"), my heart melted. What an angel and a sweetheart Art Garfunkel is. I wish I could meet him, just for a little while.

A pure genius and a brilliant star. One way or another he will always be with us.

I was 15 and walking down a dirt alley in Lake City, FL listening to my little transistor radio the first time I heard "Sounds Of Silence". My two friends and I stopped right there and listened to the whole song. I can still see the alley in my mind, and still feel that "Mesmerized" feeling that we all three seemed to feel.

As I age I am SOO thankful to have grown up with the incredibly fantastic music of the 50's, 60's & 70's. I don't know if there has ever been a musical revolution like this in human history or if there will again. I hope so. People deserve to experience what I did.

I've always loved Simon and Garfunkle's music. What amazing talents.

Always was my hero... gentle giant with an angelic voice... no ego... no nastiness ever...

Art Garfunkle's voice is off the charts amazing!

Oh God, thank you for Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel, their songs resonated in my soul as I learned to be a man. They have much to do with who I am. When the rain is falling gently, I still sometimes like to go outside and play Kathy's song on my quena. So many beautiful, gentle and compassionate songs! What can be of more value in this world that a man bless those around him with compassion. Paul & Art, you have given the world a treasure indeed! Thank you for using the gifts you were given to bless us all.

Art Garfunkel is simply this: Talent with some kind of personal philosophy behind it. You can tell, this guy knows what he is talking about.

A voice that brings tears to my eyes and emotions swirling in my heart... A true artist and a warm 'humanist' human being...

WOW ... Art's refined "quiet intelligence" is as smooth as his voice ;-). Great interview.

How fantastic it is to see a thoughtful interview by someone who knows how to do interviews. Kudos to Ken Paulson, one of the few interviewers who actually does his homework and comes to the table ready to lead an intelligent and interesting discussion. Shows how a little preparation makes all the difference. And of course he had a great guest here. Art Garfunkel really put the soul and feeling into Paul Simon's wonderful songs.

We are so fortunate to have this man among us.

Art Garfunkel is a gentleman. articulate, modest with a beautiful voice.

Kathy's Song, one of the best love songs ever written... beautifully sung by AG.

Thank you Art and Paul for sharing your gift of music. God bless you both.

Wonderful interview. As others have mentioned, Art Garfunkel is a true gentleman, articulate, and intelligent. Oh yeah....he also has the voice of an angel!

We are so fortunate to have this man among us. Kathy's Song, one of the best love songs ever written... beautifully sung by AG.

literally want to give him a hug he's so sweet and eloquent. what a true artist.

Some artists and voices sing right to your soul. His is magical. I'm sorry we didn't have more of him and that sound.

The first time i actually heard Art give in to Paul's talent, brovo to him for giving in. Paul was and is the talent.

Love Art Garfunkel!!! His voice is golden!

Love this man. He is a real humble person with good self esteem. He knows his craft and shares his success with other artists.

Love & admire him so much... such an icon - absolutely blew us away with their magically poignantly haunting sound... what a lucky generation we were...

The legendary soprano Dame Kiri Te Kanawa was asked once who her favorite voice was and she answered immediately "without a doubt, a young Elvis Presley." I'm also in opera singer, in no way famous and shouldn't even be mentioned in the same paragraph as Dame Kiri, but my answer would be "without a doubt, the voice of the century belongs to Art Garfunkel."

One of the best interviews I have ever seen done, some of these so called newscasters could take a few lessons from Ken Paulson.There was no hyped up silly questions, no constant interjection on his part, or pressuring. It was a lovely calm interview with one of the most talented iconic singers of our day, Art Garfunkel. My favorite song by them is 'Bridge over trouble Water,' to me it is as if Jesus/ Yeshua,was speaking to us! Thank you Art Garfunkel and Paul Simon for such beautiful music!!

i absolutely LOVE this interview...WOW what a deeply soulful and humble and articulate man Art Is. I love that he says "My game in life is to stay interesting to myself"..that is..good wisdom for us all. Love that he walked all those miles, and in rural Japan to get out of his Ego, to NOT be known, and just be a human being who was NOT famous.....LOVE IT And Ken Paulson is a great interviewer really good questions, drawing out Art and good deep listening! THANK YOU

I always love to hear Art’s voice whether singing or talking.

Truly angelic voice of all time, Art Garfunkel!

He sings like an Angel that makes me happy to think I'm going to Heaven one day. I do so hope that he's happy down here.

Art Garfunkle is not only an amazing harmony singer, but one of the greatest unison singers of all time. There are countless times one would assume it was a doubled Paul vocal track. when you see them live you realize there was no doubling.

His voice is so soothing! In awe of his Grace!!

Recorded 2003 if you're wondering. Art still looks and sings greatly.

I always forget how happy I used to be when I spent my teenage years and early 20's listening to Simon And Garfunkel, considering all the crap in my mind since!!!

Ken Paulson and Art Garfunkel were great together. I wish all interviews were this informative. Ask good questions and listen. Let them speak. Dont interrupt! Enjoy the singer!

This voice is amazing... And the intellect is really impressive too.

Whenever I hear Art sing, it touches my heart and my eyes and I am humbled by the beauty of it.

A resonance man who was always ahead of his time. Still wonderful after all these years.

What a wonderful person, such a beautiful timbre in his speaking voice as well, fans need to listen to his collaboration with Crosby Stills & Nash whereby he filled in for David Crosby who was suffering at the time and sang harmony vocal on a track called DAYLIGHT AGAIN, it has mind blowing vocal harmonies that will leave you lost for words, Crosby said he couldn't have bettered that one.

Paul was the genius, the creator, the hard working musician. Garfunkel, the singing actor !

We needed this interviewer during the last Presidential Debates so unlike the one sided interviewers on CNN that we all had to deal with...Great job Ken.

No Auto tune needed here. When I was a kid in the Sixties, I would hear Simon and Garfunkel songs on the radio, and of course I would see them on shows like the Smothers Brothers. Then in the 70's my teenage years I started buying Albums, and Simon and Garfunkel was my first rock album ever and I have been in love with them ever since.

Art, you have the voice of an Angel. God Bless You and Your Offspring. You're a Child of David! For Real!

To hear Art sing old man River blew me away. Just wonderful. Wow

Great interview. Art is a down to earth guy with such a pure angelic voice. Simon & Garfunkel are a true talent that is hard to find today.

Love your "Bright Eyes" Art Garfunkel, thank you !

Art is in great form, but damn, that guitarist is killing it with that Paul Simon guitar work. Thought it was the interviewer for a second - I thought, damn!

I feel so lucky to have been witness to so many of these artists as their discography unfolded over the years. Music became the sound track of our lives.

Such a special interview with Artie . I love to hear Art talk so sweetly and very articulate. Paulson is a great interviewer too.

wow... Art still sounds great! Wonderful job on Cathy's song.

Simon & Garfunkel through the 60's was pure m a g i c..

Wonderful- and to end with "Cathy's Song," as beautiful a song as was ever written- and no one ever sang it like Art. . Bravo!

I fell in love listening to Simon and Garfunkel in 1969. She introduced me to their albums and I’ve ever since associated their songs with those most wonderful times

Loved every minute of this. Well chosen questions and intelligent answers. Art sang Kathy's song beautifully with superb guitar accompaniment. So glad I found this.

It is mind bogling that knuckleheads are the predominant interviewers today. Ken Paulson is brilliant. He is excellent. He is wonderful. How would CBS and the other stations not have Ken Paulson and his likeness not be doing the celebrity interviews. Art Garfunkel is also a gem. Thanks once again to the incredible KZfaq. Bravo!

What a brilliant guy!

when I was 13 years old (in 1968) I was hitchiking down Wilshire Blvd in LA on my way to the beach. Anyway, this guy walks up and starts hitchiking next to me and we started talking and had this great conversation about all sorts of stuff, ranging from politics and philosophy to music, and at some point he told me his name was Art. After about half an hour of not getting a ride, he said he was just going to walk to his destination and as we were saying our goodbyes he told me that if I had a chance I should turn on the TV that night because he was going to be on Channel5 or something. So I turned on the TV and it was a Simon and Garfunkel special.. For many years I thought I imagined the whole thing because why would Garfunkel be hitchiking in the middle of LA when he was a rock star? It seemed so unlikely. Then a few years ago I was reading an interview with Simon where he was talking about how difficult it was to do gigs with Garfunkel sometimes because he would do quirky things like hitchike to gigs. What a cool guy!

very inspirering voice Art has . a voice that follows you all your life . Thanks to both Art and Paul for the time they entertained the fans together and seperate also. there is respect in all this.

I have all their albums and have made a "Best Of" Compilation CD that I play just about everyday. Paul's songwriting and Art's Angelic voice make them one of the "Best" Duo's of all time. Their vocal harmonies are flawless.

Is it no wonder that I am such a huge Simon and Garfunkel fan. Artie has such a lovely voice. And is such a thoughtful human being, as is Paul. I am so proud that these guys were from my era.

What an eloquent spokesman of his (and my) era !!

Looove the way he talks!!!

To me Art’s last song (GEM) is one of the very best duets I’ve ever heard. That song really seems to rise above all hit records I’ve ever heard. Like God breathing into our souls such caressing beauty of the enchanting fingerstyle guitar n Art’s knowing how to select such beauties. To give such long lasting musical flavor to folk fans everywhere that is if they are lucky enough to hear it!

Could listen to Art talk all day!

Art and Simon from Ireland 🇮🇪 thanku for your music ..comfort to me in bad times bridge over troubled water 💧 amazing artists Simon in his writing legend .art a humble genius 2023

Voice like an angel, and very nice guitarplaying. Thank you.

Really enjoyed listening to this interview. Art Garfunkel. What an interesting man, talent, perspective and past.

I am transcended to the sweetness of the sixties, 15 years old and becoming myself through the music of life and the daily lifting into realties view. Simon and Garfunkel were pillar amongst this decade's musical genius that was like an education in itself. Their songs seranaded a generation who were waking up to withess a world with wide eyed innocence. Seeing a vision, as layered as their harmonic sound, and begin to question the world around us for a clearer truth.

I love the beauty that is Art Garfunkel. Of course there is the voice but there is also an intelligence and a caring that is evident in everything he does including this interview. I always felt he was on the road to becoming a great actor. I recently started reading his poetry and you will find these qualities throughout.

What an elegant man with a lot to say about many things, such an interesting intelligent human, and I can't get enough of listening to him and Paul Simon harmonizing. A remarkable duo the world was lucky to hear.

Beautiful song. Thank you, Art, for singing this song. I'm not the Kathy this song was written for, but it still meant a lot to me... Kathy

There is a lot of wisdom in Art’s answers.

Must be so interesting to have a conversation with Art. That guy is lucky.

It is refreshing to hear one member of a duo that broke up many years ago speak so well of the other member of the duo.

What a talent. Blessed to hear it.

the break-up of Simon & Garfunkel was a crime against humanity

Both he and Paul, in their own right and together are along with the Everleys THE GREATEST DUO'S EVER. Im so sad I now don't think I will be blessed to see them.

Eschew the mainstream - if we wish to move ahead, to tread on different ground and not endlessly re-visit the familiar, we have to eschew the mainstream, well said Art.

You can always hear Art's heart in his voice, so deserving of his gift as such a blessing for all who hear him sing🙂

A great talent with a humble heart.

I love Arties voice. He is so handsome talks like a true gentleman.

I know that 'Simon and Garfunkel' meant more to me in my life than I ever could to them in theirs. Thank you, (Paul and ) Art, for helping an awkward, abused, and very troubled soul to realize that something very beautiful could exist in the world outside my bubble. Your music was my go-to means of peace and respite through every aspect of my life, and at 63, I continue to listen to your music on at least a weekly basis. I thank God for the wonderful effect you had in my life, my friend. May God bless you and keep you.

Every now and then along comes some troubadours to sing to our souls and remind us what is important. There is probably no one from my generation who does not have a S&G song and a story to go with it. I have more than one but I will not bore you with the details. Life goes by fast and we need help sometimes, a lift when we are down, some help in understanding things we cannot comprehend. After all these years, I'm 72, these songs still stir me and demand action. And isn't that what a troubadour does? We were fortunate to have them part of our lives.

Love Garfunkel and it is crazy how the relationship between Simon and Garfunkel went all this time but I still love all their song and this is a great interview.

I loved Art's voice and he was by far my favorite. I wore his first solo album out!!

Art is a beautiful special human being. Great interviewer, good questions. ‪#‎OdedFriedGaon ‪#OdedMusic

Thank you Art. A true humanist. A gentleman. A unique voice, you have given me pleasure since 1969 .

Solutely awesome voice! Love to hear more of him, as well as he and Simon together! Great artistic talent!

What a highly articulate ,intelligent intellectual man Simon and Garfunkl were the soundtrack of the sixties their music to this day remains haunting beautiful and everlasting

He's a beautiful guy, and he made me cry. Again. Thank you for this grand walk down memory lane and the new knowledge of how this man thinks. Also he has my hair :)

What a beautiful man, such grace. Great interview can't wait to see Part II

Art is a lovely man and a great singer. Their sound takes me back to my early teens!

Thanks, Art, for the soundtrack to my youth !
