We could go on, but it isn't Paul Simon's accomplishments that define his storied and iconic career. Simply put, Paul Simon was one of the most influential musicians of the 1960s that helped inspire millions with his music. 

Paul Simon gained early notoriety and huge success as one half of the duo Simon & Garfunkel. Simon was the primary songwriter for the group, one that produced countless hits and number ones like "The Sound of Silence," "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and "Mrs. Robinson", which was featured in the soundtrack for the classic film The Graduate and catapulted the duo into superstardom. The duo released five albums between 1964 and 1970 before deciding to part ways. 

With all of the cache built up from his former group, Simon's solo career truly blossomed. In addition to an earlier solo album in 1965, Simon released 11 solo albums between 1972 and 2011, which is an illustrious career to say the least. His 1986 album Graceland, widely regarded as his seminal work, features the tracks "Graceland" and "You Can Call Me Al". Simon expanded his influences for this album and incorporated several elements of South African music as well as American roots music. The album's popularity brought South African music to an otherwise untapped audience, especially the group he worked closely with, Ladysmith Black Mambazo.

Throughout his career, Simon has been regarded as a pure and wonderful performer. His voice still sounds as crisp now in 2014 as it did over 50 years ago when he was first gaining popularity. At 73, Simon definitely doesn't tour as extensively as he did in years past, but he still makes time to perform, especially at benefit and philanthropic events. Paul Simon concerts should definitely be on everyone's bucket lists, especially when he plays in his hometown of New York City.
