TimmyB Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 from www.billboard.com on October 13. 1941 - Paul Simon is born in Newark, N.J. He teams up with boyhood schoolmate Art Garfunkel to form one of pop music's most successful duos. Simon & Garfunkel's biggest hit is the million-selling "Bridge Over Troubled Water," which tops Billboard's Hot 100 for six weeks. Their first Grammy comes for the 1968 Record of the Year, "Mrs. Robinson." The duo is inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990. Happy Birthday Paul Simon, And thanks for touring with your one of your "Old Friends" last year. That Simon & Garfunkel gig at the Air Canada Centre was one of the best I've ever seen. PS I hope that it being your birthday today isn't goodluck for the Yankees and all. I don't want the spirit of Joltin' Joe Dimaggio around Yankee Stadium tonight in that song you wrote for that Dustin Hoffman movie directed by Mike Nichols Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
