MUSIC TO REARRANGE YOUR SOCK DRAWER TO IN THE DARK
I'd like to hear what he sounds like in one of his frequent holding tank visits after being busted for possession. A little of Artie goes along way. How's about a little rendition of Whole Lotta Love while ripped?

After four or five cuts of this vapid pap, I want to go out and put my head on the railroad tracks just to experience some kind of rush.

Can I have another Cafe Francais, s'il vous plait?.


A Great Best of Collection
Plus you get the fine remake of the Tymes hit "So much in Love" also missing from the other collections. I noticed that the other best of collections were missing 2 great tracks contained here in this collection - "All I Know" and "Second Avenue" so although this collection has several less songs than the other greatest hits collections, in my opimion, this is the one to own. .


Iconic voice
Simon may have written the material, but it was quite often Art's voice that made it soar. One of the most important voices in pop music in the 1960s and 1970s was Art Garfunkel. I bought this CD because I heard Art's version of "Second Avenue" recently on the radio. I really didn't remember it from 1974 when it was a single (it was only a minor hit), but he sings it right and combined with "I Only Have Eyes For You" and "All I Know" this CD reminds the listener just how great Garfunkel's voice was. .


1970's classic

This album showcases the best of Garfunkel's folkesque light rock, with some real gems. Art Garfunkel has a far better voice than Paul Simon, and I actually prefer Garfunkel's solo work to Simon's.
My favourites include the laidback Breakaway (1975), the beautiful and haunting Bright Eyes (1979), the pop love song (What A) Wonderful World (1977), the exquisite All I Know (1973)(one of my all time favourite songs) with it's incredible piano work, the old blues hit I Only Have Eyes For You and the gentle A Heart In New York (1981).
This is a must have for any lover of good music, and a classic of 1970's music.

A blend of music and lyrics
It wasn't until their great, and final studio album, "Bridge Over Troubled Water," that I discovered just how good Art Garfunkel was. Since the sixties I've enjoyed listening to Art Garfunkel and Paul Simon sing their songs. When S&G went their separate ways I was hoping to hear from Garfunkel. It didn't take long. He released a few songs that were good and then he released "All I Know. " I couldn't believe how great a voice and musician he was. This CD is true ear candy for anyone looking for solid talent and beautiful arrangements. Get this CD and feast on the experience. .
