The discography of Simon & Garfunkel, an American singer-songwriter duo, consists of five studio albums, fifteen compilation albums, four live albums, one extended play, twenty-seven singles, one soundtrack, and two box set released since 1964. Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel first formed a duo in 1957 as Tom & Jerry, before separating and later reforming as Simon & Garfunkel.[1]
Simon & Garfunkel's debut album, Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M., was released on October 19, 1964. Initially a flop, it was re-released two years later with the new version of "The Sound of Silence", which was overdubbed with electric instruments and drums by producer Tom Wilson.[2] The re-released version peaked at number thirty in the US Billboard 200 chart and at twenty-four in the UK Album Charts, and later received a platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The overdubbed version of the eponymous single was released on their second studio album, Sounds of Silence, released on January 17, 1966.[3] This album peaked at twenty-one on the Billboard charts and at thirty in the UK Album Charts, and later received three-times multi-platinum by the RIAA. Besides the same-named single, this album also featured Simon's "I Am a Rock", a song that first appeared on his 1965 debut solo album, The Paul Simon Songbook.
The duo's third album, Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme, was released on October 10, 1966, and produced five singles. It peaked at number four in the US and number fifteen in the UK, and received three-time multi-platinum by RIAA. The hit single "Mrs. Robinson" was included in the band's first and only soundtrack, The Graduate, and was later also included on their fourth studio album Bookends, which was released on April 3, 1968. This album peaked at number one in both the US and UK, therefore becoming their first number one album, and received two-times multi-platinum in the US. On January 26, 1970, they released their fifth and final studio album, Bridge Over Troubled Water. This album was their most successful to date, peaking at number one in several countries, including the UK and US. The album sold over twenty-five million copies worldwide,[4][5][6][7] and received eight-time multi-platinum in the US.
Despite the success of their fifth album, the duo decided to part company, announcing their break-up later that year. They have nonetheless made a number of reunion performances, most notably for a free concert in New York City's Central Park in 1981, which drew a crowd of half-a-million people and resulted in the live album The Concert in Central Park.[1]
