SIMON & GARFUNKEL is a definitive account of Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel's career together. With unique material and exclusive interviews with fellow musicians, promoters and friends, acclaimed author Spencer Leigh has written a compelling biography of some of the world's biggest musical stars. With remarkable stories about the duo on every page, the book not only charts their rise to success and the years of their fame, but analyses the personalities of the two men and the ups and downs of their often fraught relationship.

‘Simon & Garfunkel have been a huge part of the soundtrack of my life. Thank you for the music, boys, and I have enjoyed reading about you. Your story here has been told with sensitivity and accuracy.’  Suzi Quatro


'Spencer Leigh once more opens the door on to a partnership that could not be fulfilled and one that makes the reader feel the pain of abandon and isolation all too clearly. A writer of complete honesty who doesn’ t sugar coat the distractions faced by both songwriter and singer and who urges you to fall for the sound of silence and the poetic beat once more. Simon & Garfunkel: Together Alone is a classic tale of two young men coming together to make music, yet never quite finding the true course of musical love that could keep them in sync, reminiscent of the story of another Paul and his friend John, creativity brought them mutual respect but without the other by their side, arguably not as enjoyable to listen to.’  Liverpool Sound and Vision


'An enjoyable, bang up-to-date and readable book which makes you want to delve further into the recorded output of Simon and Garfunkel - the original odd couple.’ John Cornelius

‘Excellent ,definitive book on Simon and Garfunkel by Spencer Leigh.’  P N Cowley FATEA Magazine
