Originally revered for his Grammy-winning, chart-topping songs and albums with partner Paul Simon, Art Garfunkel has broadened his horizons since the two split in 1970.

His solo debut ANGEL CLARE spawned the top 10 hit "All I Know."

His other solo albums include BREAKAWAY ('75; features the hit "I Only Have Eyes For You"), WATERMARK ('78; featuring "[What A] Wonderful World" with James Taylor and Paul Simon), FATE FOR BREAKFAST ('79), SCISSORS CUT ('81), THE ANIMALS' CHRISTMAS ('86), LEFTY ('88), GARFUNKEL (greatest hits, '88), UP TILL NOW ('93), ACROSS AMERICA ('97) and SONGS FROM A PARENT TO A CHILD ('97).

The late '80s brought two new challenges for Garfunkel: he published “Still Water,” a collection of poetry in '89 and began an amazing trek across America--on foot. Walking across the United States in 40 installments, Garfunkel wanted to slow down and see the country. "My goal was to feel my connection with America, one step at a time."

That trek was topped off by a celebratory concert at Ellis Island, where Garfunkel's ancestors had first stepped onto American soil.

Recorded for the live ACROSS AMERICA album and filmed for a Disney Channel documentary, the performance is testament to Garfunkel's status as an American treasure: classic Simon & Garfunkel songs like "America," "Homeward Bound," "Bridge Over Troubled Water," "59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)" and solo Garfunkel numbers like "A Heart in New York," "All 1 Know," "Bright Eyes" and "Grateful" all resonate with the passion and emotion of someone who truly appreciates his country.

In a three-star review of the album, Rolling Stone said, "The song's themes of reconciliation and transcendence suit Garfunkel's soul and lend his gentle virtues as a singer all the virtue and dignity of conviction" and Garfunkel is "Blessed with a beautifully ethereal voice..."

Now happily married to singer Kim Cermak Garfunkel, the couple was blessed with the birth of son James in 1990. James often joins his parents on stage, lending his vocals to songs like "Feelin' Groovy."

It was in fact James who inspired his father to record 1997's SONGS FROM A PARENT TO A CHILD CD, which features inspired renditions of songs by Marvin Gaye, Cat Stevens, Lovin' Spoonful, James Taylor and Lennon/McCartney.

James even joins his father on a version of Elvis Presley's hit "Good Luck Charm." In a review of the CD, the Los Angeles Times said, "Children will respond too, but this tender valentine from Art Garfunkel to his sixyear- old son James will especially resonate with any adult for whom parenthood has brought the joy of discovery and untold love."

Garfunkel has also garnered acclaim for his acting roles in films such as “Catch-22” ('69), “Carnal Knowledge” ('71), “Bad Timing” ('80) and “Boxing Helena” ('93) and has had his music included in films such as “A League Of Their Own” and the end-title credits of the Academy Award-winning “As Good As It Gets.”
