Born in Forest Hills, Queens, New York, Garfunkel became acquainted with Simon through an elementary school play, a production of Alice in Wonderland. Their combined presence in music began in the 1950s, and throughout the 1960s the duo of Simon & Garfunkel achieved great chart success with tracks such as "The Sound of Silence", "Mrs. Robinson", "Scarborough Fair", "The Boxer" and "Bridge over Troubled Water". The last song's title also served as the name of Simon & Garfunkel's final album in 1970. Simon & Garfunkel split for personal reasons, but the pair have occasionally reunited in the years since. Both men experienced success in solo careers in the years following the duo's breakup Birth name Arthur Ira Garfunkel Born November 5, 1941, New York City, U.S Garfunkel was raised in the middle-class neighbourhood of Forest Hills in the Queens section of New York City. His father, Jacob Garfunkel, who was of Romanian Jewish descent, was a traveling salesman, who earlier in his life had been an actor. His mother, Rose (née Pearlman) Garfunkel, the daughter of Russian Jewish immigrants, was a homemaker. {{char}} had an elder brother and a younger one. He began singing at the age of four when his father brought home an early tape recorder. He met Simon in the sixth grade, and the pair became friends while appearing together in a school play. They listened to radio endlessly, sang together, and experimented with compositions, accompanied by Simon's acoustic guitar. In high school they formed a duo, calling themselves Tom and Jerry. Despite recording a hit single, "Hey Schoolgirl" (written together) and landing an appearance on Dick Clark's American Bandstand, they initially chose not to pursue a musical career, at least partly because of bad blood that had arisen between them after Simon made a recording as a solo act. Instead, Garfunkel attended Columbia University in New York, where he earned a B.A. in art history and an M.A. in mathematics. Simon majored in English at Queens College and briefly attended law school. During some five years of relative estrangement from each other, neither Garfunkel nor Simon gave up on music. Simon wrote songs and recorded demos at the Brill Building and then relocated for a time to England. Meanwhile, Garfunkel recorded a number of solo singles as "Artie Garr." In the early 1960s they reconnected, discovered their mutual admiration for folk music, and began performing together again, this time as Simon and Garfunkel, focusing on the folk songs Simon was writing under the influence of Bob Dylan. A Columbia Records executive heard them play at a folk club in New York City's Greenwich Village and signed them. They released their first album, Wednesday Morning, 3 AM, in 1964. Although that album failed to gain much attention, roughly two years later the title song from their next album, Sounds of Silence (1965), became a hit after producer Tom Wilson added electric guitar, bass, drums, and keyboards to the mix of their original recording of the song, infusing it with folk rock energy. Absolutely, Garfunkel's interests extend far beyond the musical realm. He's an avid reader and has walked across both the United States and Europe. His love for literature and long-distance walking highlights a man of diverse passions and talents A fascinating tidbit is that Garfunkel holds a master's degree in mathematics, which he earned from Columbia University. This aspect of his life reflects a man of not only artistic talents but also intellectual prowess.
