Simon met future partner Art Garfunkel in 1953 and wrote his first song (\u201cThe Girl for Me\u201d) for the pair soon after that. When in high school, the two boys recorded another song under the name Tom &amp; Jerry. After going off to college, the young men reunited as Simon &amp; Garfunkel and became one of the most popular recording acts of the 1960s, with Simon writing almost all their songs. The two split in 1970, although they have reunited to perform on a number of occasions. Simon has gone on to have a hugely successful solo career. His most popular album to date is&nbsp;<em>Graceland<\/em>&nbsp;(1986), although he has received accolades for much of his work. He also wrote and starred in 1980\u2019s&nbsp;<em>One-Trick Pony<\/em>(for which he also wrote all the songs). Simon was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001 and is on two&nbsp;<em>Rolling Stone<\/em>&nbsp;\u201c100 Greatest\u201d lists: Guitarists (2011) and Songwriters (2015). His latest album is 2016\u2019s&nbsp;<em>Stranger to Stranger<\/em>, which has received widespread positive reviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Awards (partial list):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Grammy Award for&nbsp;<strong>Album of the Year<\/strong>&nbsp;for&nbsp;<em>Bridge over Troubled Water<\/em>. 1971<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Grammy Award for&nbsp;<strong>Record of the Year<\/strong>&nbsp;for \u201cBridge over Troubled Water.\u201d 1971<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Grammy Award for&nbsp;<strong>Song of the Year<\/strong>&nbsp;for \u201cBridge over Troubled Water.\u201d 1971<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Grammy Award for&nbsp;<strong>Album of the Year<\/strong>&nbsp;for&nbsp;<em>Still Crazy After All These Years<\/em>. 1976<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Grammy Award for&nbsp;<strong>Best Male Pop Vocal Performance<\/strong>&nbsp;for&nbsp;<em>Still Crazy After All These Years<\/em>. 1976<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Grammy Award for&nbsp;<strong>Album of the Year<\/strong>&nbsp;for&nbsp;<em>Graceland<\/em>. 1987<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Grammy Award for&nbsp;<strong>Record of the Year<\/strong>&nbsp;for \u201cGraceland.\u201d 1988<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Grammy&nbsp;<strong>Lifetime Achievement Award<\/strong>&nbsp;(for Simon &amp; Garfunkel). 2003<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Kennedy Center Honors Award<\/strong>. 2002<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Library of Congress&nbsp;<strong>Gershwin Prize<\/strong>. 2007<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Source: Wikipedia<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paul Simon Musician, Singer-Songwriter, Actor Birthdate:&nbsp;Oct 13, 1941 High School:&nbsp;Forest Hills High School Yearbooks:&nbsp;1958 Yearbook photos of Paul Simon from&nbsp;Forest Hills High School &nbsp; Paul Frederic Simon&nbsp;(born October 13, 1941) is a musician, singer-songwriter, and actor.
