Paul Simon

Paul Frederic Simon was born October 13, 1941 in Newark, New Jersey. He had a younger brother, Eddie, four years younger but physically equal brother. He grew up in Queens, New York, residing at 137-62 70th Road in Forest Hills. He’s about five feet, one inch tall (1.55 meters in Europe) in his stocking feet, and is considered to be one of the finest American songwriters of the century, receiving Kennedy Center Honors in 2002. Paul is in fact left handed. He writes right handed and plays right handed guitar but does everything else left handed. He was the primary songwriter in the duo Simon and Garfunkel, which recorded only five studio albums together (not counting the ´The Graduate´, which consisted of previously released material, although including alternate versions) before breaking up in 1970, including Wednesday Morning 3 A.M (1964), Sounds Of Silence (1966), Parsley, Sage, Rosemary & Thyme (1966), Bookends (1968) and Bridge Over Troubled Water (1970).
