Paul Frederic Simon was born on October 13, 1941 in Newark, New Jersey.

Happy 85 to the eminent singer/songwriter and graceful pop voice. He started
his brilliant career with Art Garfunkel back in 1956, yes, 60 years ago! They scored
hit single after hit single and they had several million-selling LPs. They went their
own way in 1970.

Simon recorded 14 solo studio albums,
with In The Blue Light (2018) as his most
recent one.

Three memorable moments.

– SOUNDS OF SILENCE –

– STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS –

– YOU CAN CALL ME AL –

No, three songs are not enough to honor the legend.
So let’s play his Greatest Hits on this festive day…
