About Paul Simon
He met Art Garfunkel in elementary school in 1953, and together they released folk‑rock hits such as "The Sound of Silence" (1965), "Mrs. Robinson" (1968), "America" (1968) and "The Boxer" (1969). Their final album, Bridge over Troubled Water (1970), is one of the best‑selling albums of all time.
![“Instead of thinking in terms of chords, I think of voice-leading; that is, melody line and bass line, and where the bass line goes. If you do that, you'll have the right chord. [These voices] will give you some alternatives, and you can play those different alternatives to hear which one suits…” quote by Paul Simon](https://sms4smile.com/q/img-quotes/b5c/paul-simon-1703_alternatives_instead-of-thinking-in-terms-of-chords-i_623789.png)
