Paul Simon performs at his farewell show in Flushing Meadow Park in Queens, New York in September 2018. He’s made occasional public appearances since then.

Paul Simon is one of the most beloved singer-songwriters of all-time. He first rose to fame in the 1960s as half of the songwriting duo Simon And Garfunkel, along with Art Garfunkel. The pair released a wide array of hit songs including ‘The Sound of Silence’ and ‘Mrs. Robinson,’ which was prominently featured in the movie ‘The Graduate.’ After the band broke up, Paul went on to a very successful solo career, with hits like ’50 Ways To Leave Your Lover’ and ‘Graceland.’ He’s continued to release music up through 2018, when he dropped his 14th solo record. That same year he retired from live performances, but he has occasionally popped up to sing a few times since then. Throughout his career, Paul has earned 16 Grammys.
