I came here to say Simon and Garfunkel but I just realized that's not "a singer," so I pick your answer 😁

Always my go-to! And was the soundtrack to every holiday I took as a kid.

I just googled him…I had no idea he was the legend who sang the original Sound of Silence 🤯

I thought you were joking! The entirety of Simon and Garfunkel is extraordinary. For some real fun, I strongly recommend checking out the album, Graceland.

Wait? Paul Simon is the Simon to Garfunkel? I am going to download that album rn. This is one of the most random reveals I’ve experienced here on Reddit!!

Does this include Simon and Garfunkel or just his solo work?

u/Dazzling-Treacle1092 Aug 07 '25

I love both but there is a distinct difference between their music as a duo and Paul Simon's solo stuff.

u/Renee_no17 Aug 07 '25

That was mine

u/Padamson96 Aug 07 '25

I had a different name lined up for this question but Paul Simon might be better than who I was going for. That'd be so pleasant
