Paul Simon
Paul Frederic Simon (born October 13, 1941) is an American musician, actor and singer-songwriter. Simon's fame, influence, and commercial success began as part of the duo Simon & Garfunkel, formed in 1964 with musical partner Art Garfunkel. Simon wrote nearly all of the pair’s songs, including three that reached No. 1 on the U.S. singles charts: "The Sound of Silence", "Mrs. Robinson", and "Bridge over Troubled Water".〔Bronson p. 428〕 The duo split up in 1970 at the height of their popularity, and Simon began a successful solo career as a guitarist and singer-songwriter, recording three highly acclaimed albums over the next five years. In 1986, he released ''Graceland'', an album inspired by South African township music. Simon also wrote and starred in the film ''One-Trick Pony'' (1980) and co-wrote the Broadway musical ''The Capeman'' (1998) with the poet Derek Walcott.
Simon has earned twelve Grammys for his solo and collaborative work, including a Lifetime Achievement Award. In 2001, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work = Inductees )〕 and in 2006 was selected as one of the "100 People Who Shaped the World" by ''Time'' magazine. In 2011, ''Rolling Stone'' magazine named Simon as one of the 100 Greatest Guitarists. In 2015 he was named as one of The 100 Greatest Songwriters by Rolling Stone Magazine. Among many other honors, Simon was the first recipient of the Library of Congress's Gershwin Prize for Popular Song in 2007.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher=Public Broadcasting Service )〕 In 1986, Simon was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Music degree from Berklee College of Music, where he currently serves on the Board of Trustees.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.berklee.edu/bios/trustees/ )〕
