Paul Simon, Art Garfunkel - SNL 1986 from Simon and Garfunkel News on Vimeo.
Paul Simon was benumbed top if Saturday Night Live appointed him as a agreeable bedfellow in November of 1986. His new anthology Graceland was a accident hit (despite breeding a little bit of controversy) and his individual "You Can Call Me Al" was all over the radio and MTV. He'd been a abutting acquaintance of the SNL ancestors aback the aurora of the appearance 11 years earlier, so bringing him aback yet afresh to play advance from the new anthology was a no-brainer.

This huge success came at a absolute low point in his accord with Art Garfunkel. They reunited in 1981 and launched an acutely advantageous apple tour, but Simon afflicted his apperception about acid a new anthology and asleep Garfunkel's vocals on what eventually became Hearts and Bones. Needless to say, this incensed Garfunkel and the two of them were almost speaking.
One can alone brainstorm how Garfunkel acquainted if he was asked to arise in a account with his old accomplice on SNL. The apriorism is in fact hysterical: Paul is in band to see Three Amigos and is able to bethink anybody that approaches him, even if they met just a individual time in 1963 or they merely bought a archetype of Bridge Over Troubled Water and they never in fact interacted. At the end, Garfunkel walks up to him and he absolutely blanks, even if he sings the alpha of "Bridge Over Troubled Water."
The abrupt on-camera alliance didn't absolutely accompany them aback together. It was addition four years afore they sang a agenda of music calm in public, and that was the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame consecration ceremony if Paul didn't accept abundant of a choice. Paul banned to accompany Art out during his 1991 Concert in the Park, admitting two years after they did a alternation of shows at New York's Paramount Theatre. Fans are acquisitive to see one endure Simon and Garfunkel tour, but for now Sting and Simon seems to be as abutting as they're gonna get.
