Art Garfunkel is the taller. His solos are like an angel. Paul Simon, the little one. Very deep lyricist and music writer. He is a genius. Art is always timeless and relevant. 1967 was written

@wnsafford1854 3 жыл бұрын

It was written sometime before March 1964. Simon & Garfunkel recorded the original, acoustic version March 10, 1964 & released it Oct. 1964, on their 1st album, Wednesday Morning, 3am. In June 1965, the original version was overdubbed with electric guitars, bass guitar & a drum kit (this version) & re-released Jan. 1966, on their 2nd album, Sounds of Silence.

In 1965, the song began to attract airplay at radio stations in Boston, Massachusetts, and throughout Florida. The growing airplay led Tom Wilson, the song's producer, to remix the track, overdubbing electric instruments and drums. This remixed version was released as a single in September 1965. Simon & Garfunkel were not informed of the song's remix until after its release.
