Paul Simon happy birthday

Paul Frederick Simon was born Oct 13, 1941 in Newark, NJ.
So today Paul is celebrating his 65 birthday !

In a career dating back to the 1950s, Paul Simon has established himself among the best and most popular songwriters of the rock era. Growing up in Queens, NY, Paul Simon befriended schoolmate Art Garfunkel, who had an angelic tenor voice, and the two teamed up as Tom & Jerry, taking the names of the cartoon characters.
In the winter of 1957-1958, they scored a chart hit with "Hey Schoolgirl"; both were 16 years old at the time.
Look at the picture above. Isn't that cute compared to the way they looked when they recorded those well known songs as Simon & Garfunkel ?

Paul continued to try to score hits in the late '50s and early '60s, reaching the charts briefly in 1962 in the group Tico & the Triumphs with "Motorcycle" and under the name Jerry Landis in 1963 with "The Lone Teen Ranger."

I played today some of his solo albums but I also looked in my archives for some of his real oldies. I decided to offer you Paul as Tico.

Look in the comments to get some of those songs. Included is his small hit 61-Motorcycle. Sorry for the 'crackles' but that belongs to the real oldies.
