Paul Simon 8 Decades

You read that right folks!

8 DECADES!!

Paul Simon

He began his music career in the 1950's while still in High School, writing, recording and releasing records from the age of 16.

1950s

1960s

1970s

1980s

And that's just the first four decades!

And then there's the...

1990s

2000s (the Aughts)

2010s

2020s

While not an exhaustive history of the man and his music, we choose instead to focus on Simon's origin story, before the fame, before Simon & Garfunkel, highlighting what's possibly his finest artistic achievement to date 

Two legacy defining albums of Simon's, one from the Aughts, the other from very early on in the 2010s. Most folks have not heard these albums. We're gonna change that,

All this and MORE!
