Art Garfunkel

With his friend Paul Simon, Art Garfunkel has lift people’s spirits all over the world. From the sixties to the present days, he has given folk music its most beautiful colours, and by doing so became one of its thought leader. He had his glory days with his friend Paul, they also had very variable and multiple misunderstandings. Together, they have created fine and light melodies, making the world a little bit more beautiful. They brought light in the shadows, they won over hearts and built a unique state of mind.
 
Although he is no longer at the top of the Billboard, he is still true to himself when he takes the stage, with his pure and soft voice.  As an emotional singer, he gives the harmonies a new nuance, he soothes us, draws us in. Sometimes he even has doubts, especially since his health problems, but that's what brings us closer to him. At that moment, we realise that even immortal beings can be frail.
 
But that doesn't take anything away: Art Garfunkel, hero of the protest song, is such a great sir of music that we would almost envy America’s good fortune. He is, and will remain, one of the most famous folk legends. Born in Forest Hills, Queens, New York City,  he has contributed to create a new way of perceiving music. And today, he is still fighting to get back on stage. Or should we say to transcend the stage and the musical performance.
