‘The Singer’ is a 2CD, 34-song very best of collection hand-picked by Art Garfunkel. It features solo material, Simon & Garfunkel classics, and performances of “Lena” and “Long Way Home” – both specifically recorded for this release. Hit track “Mrs. Robinson” has also been included for the first time in this UK updated album.
Spanning a life’s body of work from the first Simon & Garfunkel album of 1964 (Wednesday Morning, 3AM) through to 2007’s Great American Songbook album (Some Enchanted Evening), ‘The Singer’ includes every #1 U.S and UK solo hit such as “All I Know”, “Breakaway”, “I Only Have Eyes For You”, “My Little Town”, “Mrs. Robinson” (with Paul Simon), “(What A) Wonderful World” (with Simon & James Taylor), “Bright Eyes” and more.
In addition to curating ‘The Singer’, Garfunkel has provided his own personal track-by-track annotations which appear in the booklet in his handwritten form. You can get your copy of ‘The Singer’ now on Amazon or iTunes.
