Il est constitué du guitariste et auteur-compositeur-interprète Paul Simon (chanteur)|Paul Simon et du chanteur Art Garfunkel. Tous deux se rencontrent pour la première fois dans le Queens en 1953. Ils apprennent à s'accorder l'un avec l'autre et commencent à écrire leurs propres compositions. Ils connaissent leur premier succès en 1957, sous le nom de ''Tom and Jerry'', avec la chanson ''Hey Schoolgirl'', qui imite le style de leurs idoles The Everly Brothers. Mais ce succès n'est pas confirmé et ils poursuivent ensuite leurs études universitaires, chacun de son côté. Ils se retrouvent en 1963, avec un intérêt accru pour la musique folk, et signent un contrat avec Columbia Records. Leur premier album, ''Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M.'' (1964), est un échec commercial à sa sortie et le duo se sépare, Simon décidant de poursuivre sa carrière en solo en Angleterre.Cependant, une nouvelle version de leur chanson ''The Sound of Silence'' connaît le succès sur les ondes américaines en 1965 et atteint la première place du Billboard Hot 100. Le duo se reforme alors et enregistre un deuxième album, ''Sounds of Silence'' (1966), qui est rapidement suivi par ''Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme'' (1966), album sur lequel le duo prend un plus grand contrôle créatif. La popularité du duo s'accroît avec la Musique de film|bande originale du film ''Le Lauréat'' (1967), composée en majeure partie par leurs chansons. Leur album suivant, ''Bookends'' (1968), les propulse au rang de stars internationales majeures. Néanmoins, les relations entre les deux hommes se dégradent et le duo se sépare peu après la sortie de leur album suivant, ''Bridge over Troubled Water'' (1970), qui est leur plus grand succès commercial. Dans une interview télévisée, Simon déclarera qu'il avait composé ''Bridge Over Troubled Water'' pour Garfunkel et qu'il ne voyait que lui pour l'interpréter. Lorsque Garfunkel commence les sessions, Simon est émerveillé par son interprétation mais il dira ressentir également un sentiment d'injustice devant cet accaparement : "et l'auteur ?…"Simon and Garfunkel comptent parmi les artistes les plus populaires des années 1960 et sont considérés comme des icônes de la contre-culture de cette décennie, au même titre que les The Beatles|Beatles et Bob Dylan.
