A Pair of Lifelong Frenemies: the Dueling Simon and Garfunkel

They Go Way Back

In his late ‘70s, Paul Simon was still annoyed about a wisecrack made by his old friend Art Garfunkel, even though the remark about his short stature was already six decades old. But some grudges last a lifetime. The ex-friends no longer have the close friendship we once saw. Growing up together in Queens, New York, and even going to the same school, these childhood friends faced fame and fortune together.

And, like a pair of close buddies, the bickering was just part of the package. Sadly, their relationship deteriorated over the years. Eventually, though, with the help of someone who had a vital role in their careers, the two were finally reunited one last time.
