Editor's note

Paul Simon's quiet songs and restless travels

From Simon & Garfunkel's folk harmonies to solo work that circled the globe.

If you want the early sound, "The Sound of Silence" still holds up. For the solo years, "American Tune" or "You Can Call Me Al" show the range.

He started with Art Garfunkel on hits like "The Sound of Silence," then went solo and kept writing songs that felt personal. "American Tune" is one of those, just a quiet, thoughtful piece that doesn't shout. He also worked with musicians like Ladysmith Black Mambazo, which gave his music a different texture.

He and Garfunkel split in 1970 after "Bridge Over Troubled Water." After that, Simon made solo records, writing songs like "50 Ways To Leave Your Lover" and "You Can Call Me Al." The later stuff includes tracks like "Wartime Prayers" and "Peace Like a River."
