Still Crazy After All These Years
Citing personal differences and divergence in career interests, they split following the release of their most critically acclaimed album, "Bridge over Troubled Water", in 1970. Each pursued solo projects after 1970. They occasionally reunited, as in 1975 for their Top Ten single "My Little Town", which Simon originally wrote for Garfunkel, claiming Garfunkel's solo output was lacking "bite". The song was included on their respective solo albums: Simon's "Still Crazy After All These Years" and Garfunkel's "Breakaway". Contrary to popular belief, the song is not autobiographical of Simon's early life but of Garfunkel's childhood in Queens. In 1981, they got together again for the famous concert in Central Park, followed by a world tour and an aborted reunion album "Think Too Much", which was eventually released, by Simon without Garfunkel, as "Hearts and Bones". They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990.
