    Art you are a "Legend" and your voice is "Heavenly" You and Paul are truly two of the nicest guys in the business. Thank you both for all those beautiful songs.

    This was a great interview in full. Art looks good, sounds good and is so lovable here. I wish he would do more to let us know how his voice is doing. He is always so pleasurable to listen to whether he is singing or talking. I love his voice. Keep singing Art.

  • In 1993 I saw Simon and Garfunkel in concert, we were sitting first row center for two shows thanks to a ticket broker friend of the family. I have seen just about every major act in concert over the decades - but i will never forget when Art sang "Bridge Over ...." -- one of the greatest performances by anyone that i have ever witnessed in person -- as well -- when Paul and Art sent the band off and did "Parsley Sage..." just accompanied by Paul's guitar -- the sound their voices made when harmonizing -- i was astounded -- i remember thinking that there have been billions of humans walking the planet Earth since the beginning of time and how these two voices when sung in harmony was unlike that of anyone --
  • Wow, a very introspective man who is strong enough to get his ego out of the way.
  • @yamo1967
    A great, great Musician. I´ll e ver love him (and Simon). Sound of silence Peace
  • @flasun6839
    You are so right Art, you can't fool yourself!
  • @Sean-ng4eu
    I got more respect & understanding of why Art's sometimes perceived as being grumpy or unreasonable. He is a perfectionist & knows how rewarding a result is when he 'is on the money' !
  • It’s not about what they think, it’s about what you think...exactitude!!
