Simon & Garfunkel is a music duo made up of two people, Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel. They sing songs that make people feel happy or sometimes a little bit sad. They sing together in a very beautiful way, with Paul playing the guitar and Art singing along.

The two friends started making music together when they were only teenagers in the 1950s. They were from New York City and their friendship started when they met each other in school. They started making music by singing harmonies together, which means they sang different notes that sound really nice together.

Later, Simon & Garfunkel became famous for their music. They started making albums, which are like CDs or playlists with lots of songs on them. People all over the world liked their music and listened to it on the radio, at home, and at concerts. Some of their most famous songs are "The Sound of Silence", "Bridge Over Troubled Water", and "Mrs. Robinson".

Even though Simon & Garfunkel were very popular, they had some problems that made them decide to stop making music together. They both started making their own music and had successful solo careers, but their fans still remember them as one of the greatest duos in music history.
