** The lyric then continues with
--->''[[spoiler:And I wish that I could be, yes I wish that I could be, Oh I wish that I could be Richard Cory.]]'' Of course, this was adapted from the poem by Edwin Arlington Robinson, which ended basically with the spoiled line.
** Their ''Bookends'' album has a First Note Nightmare at the start of "Save The Life of My Child", the second track of the album; made more jarring by the fact that the prelude was so gentle and puts the listener in a relaxed state of mind...and then WHAM.

** "The Sounds of Silence" was originally released as a folk tune with the duo singing and Simon playing acoustic guitar. It went nowhere, and the duo broke up. Then the record company dubbed a whole new electric arrangement (guitar, bass, drums) onto the song and released the single again. It was a hit, and Simon and Garfunkel's career took off.

With the release of "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvsX03LOMhI The Sounds of Silence]]," Simon & Garfunkel became one of the {{Trope Codifier}}s of folk-rock alongside TheByrds. The song was also their first hit on the pop charts, reaching the number one spot on New Year's Day in 1966. Their later hits included "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYQaD2CAi9A Scarborough Fair/Canticle]]," which combined the English folk ballad "Scarborough Fair" with an anti-war poem sung in counterpoint, "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwQYH-6quEE Homeward Bound]]" and "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_a46WJ1viA Bridge Over Troubled Water]]." Later, their fame took an ever bigger boost when their music was used in the film ''TheGraduate'', which not only included their older songs (which was rare at that time for film) but also new material like "Mrs. Robinson."
Simon is by far the more well known of the group. He experienced a BreakupBreakout and a successful solo career, while Garfunkel is still best known for his efforts with the band, although he's also known for singing the ThemeSong of ''WatershipDown''. They have broken up several times, and reunited over the years. Most famously, they came together for The Concert in Central Park, which drew a crowd of over half-a-million.
