The shorter half of Simon & Garfunkel gave us some of the most enduring songs of the 20th century, from the prophetically titled "The Sound of Silence" to "Bridge Over Troubled Water." At 84, this Grammy-hoarding musical chameleon is still kicking around—though he officially said goodbye to touring in 2018, citing the wear and tear of life on the road. Between his legendary catalog and that Graceland album that somehow made world music cool to suburban dads, Simon's legacy is rock solid even if he's slowing down.
