Art Garfunkel interview Later 7/25/91 episode 2 of 2 Paul Simon

[@foodfudd]

Art is intelligent and interesting to listen to. Bob is a good interviewer also, which helps moves things along smoothly.

[@scottburton9701]

What an articulate individual Art Garfunkel is!

[@TheEleatic]

Are you judging by celebrity standards?

[@normaverleni7217]

I love listening to Artie’s interviews ( especially with this interviewer). He answers honestly & thoughtfully with admirable intelligence. I enjoy listening to his speaking voice & totally love his singing voice. He will always be my favorite singer of all time - also respect his many other talents. ❤️❤️

[@kabuky6]

Thank you for this. Very evident the two men appreciated and respected each other. Great interview; great answers.

[@ClevelandLiveMusic]

Perhaps the definitive Artie interview. Not surprised because Costas is among the best interviewers ever.

[@charlespearce3136]

Two very thoughtful and eloquent men

[@vilstef6988]

Costas is an amazing, outstanding and underrated interviewer. He gets such great responses, and delivers interesting conversations!

[@ClevelandLiveMusic]

100%

[@kalmia01]

Yes and that's basically by two simple things that are sadly almost forgotten these days: he is interested in what the other person is saying, and therefore he truly listens to him.

[@georgewyatt2924]

I had the opportunity to see and hear Art in concert at Fallsview in Niagara Falls in 2015. He sang wonderfully, but apologized for not being able to sing all parts of some songs and his son also contributed. What I really enjoyed beyond the singing was the stories. He took out what looked like the back of an envelope and related stories, some of which were delivered like poems. He made a wonderful connection with the audience and it was a very enjoyable show. Thanks, Art.

[@darleystar]

A wonderfully intelligent and talented man. The genuine affection between he and Paul is obvious. The media driven hype about disagreement and contention is probably based on the inevitable tensions which arise when a band or group reach the dizzy heights of Simon and Garfunkel in such a short time and so young. Loved the interview, all credit to the producers. Tom, get your plane right n time.

[@ClevelandLiveMusic]

The Later team was incredible as presenting Bob's interviews and clips/photo montages

[@dawnemerson3604]

Ty for this love Art!

[@gavinjones7998]

What an exceptional interview

[@allsystemsgo8678]

No one brings the funk like Art Garfunkel.

[@howardgresh3351]

You must hear Art Garfunkel sing the song Disney Girls, which was originally a Beach Boy song. It is fantastic. I saw him in concert once and he got 5 standing ovations. He has an amazing voice.

[@johnguerin730]

Garfunkel has always been a mystery to me. Simon, on the other hand, has always been very popular and very much in the media for decades. Simon is great and we got to know him because of his accessibility. After watching this video I would love to have seen Garfukel being more public over the years. He is an intelligent and charming dude. He is willing to think about his responses and give an open and honest answer.

[@Slowhand871]

One of the most beautiful singers of all time. He can be anywhere from the best to top ten just depending on my mood.

[@CodyWeinmannComposer]

He did do some songs on his own before Simon and Garfunkel took off. Search "Beat Love," "Private World," "Please Forgive Me," from the late '50s.

[@joshualieder7524]

Art is like the Cheshire cat in Alice.

[@franksmith9692]

One of the most perceptive men I’ve heard.

[@Lorena-tz1lf]

Hermoso!

[@bbordelon2]

These two part Costas interviews of Art Garfunkel was so inciteful and revealing of the Simon & Garfunkel dynamic. Paul and Artie's history was nuanced and rich. Costas was impeccable in syphoning out Art's personality and emotions without being too showmanship and gotcha questioning. Very Well Done...I learned more here about the duo than any other interviews.

[@ClevelandLiveMusic]

I agree whole heartedly

[@mokiemori]

6:39 frwd. One minute listening worth playing and re-listening to for some insight and understanding of the cultural change in American culture, then and now.

[@danielc1978]

Wow, had no idea how bright Art was...this interview was so intellectually stimulating...great interview!

[@Geblues10]

What a great and sensitive interviewer, very considerate.

[@johnhendry6636]

when ego, overtook reality...to the point of self_ destruction...such a shame...two of the worlds best

[@mirammckay4827]

All I Know is one of my favourite songs by Art.

[@gabriellew6467]

Part 2 of this interview just as enjoyable as part 1. A great interaction between the two men

[@richardrogers3477]

Very good interview!

[@777jones]

Rhythm of the saints is excellent

[@idahardy4052]

JS Bach, since he was mentioned here, was a faithful and religious man. He wrote everything for God’s glory.

[@californiadreaming567]

Glad to hear they still talk.

[@ClevelandLiveMusic]

30 years ago...bet they still do though

[@SN2903]

They don't talk anymore. Well documented.

[@ejtonefan]

How many songs has Art Garfunkel written? I thought he just sang high part vocals on Paul Simon's songs.

[@katiezee2]

Weird that Paul told him he thought the Central Park concert was great in every way... musically, yes - but the videos show that Paul wouldn't even look at Artie.. pretty telling of his real feelings

[@user-jl7ym4en5b]

Art is primo'. I was never a big fan of Costas since his cheesy commentary / "remarks" at 2000 Olympics. Ouch. But thank you for sharing this.

[@elenaroyosolaz9538]

No se inglés, pero su mirada me dice todo!!! Años con Simón and Garfunkel.personalmente ,tengo más empatía con Art.

[@nolavout3025]

Paul was the brains, he wrote the songs, but Artie had the voice, bit like Steinman and meat loaf, both needed each other

[@tracyfrenzy5887]

Paul is the intelligent musician and songwriter, but Artie is the singer and the star...and I think he was great acting in Carnal Knowledge

[@nolavout3025]

Artie it was a home run if you are reading this!!!!!

[@theflorgeormix]

Art is right here. He needed to be accommodated. Enhancement

[@blondeboywilson9221]

I think Art and Keith Richards should do an album together

[@jeanwilkerson7663]

For me, Simon needed Garfunkle more than the reverse. It's nice he now sees they were letting small things get in the way of such a great partnership. It might be interesting to see what together they could make out of some of Simon's solo hits. Maybe nothing, who knows. Maybe it's better to go forward. It might be interesting to see what Garfunkle could do with more lyrically complex songs: like some of the simpler songs of Dylan and Cohen, or Nature Boy. Things other than love songs.

[@jeanwilkerson7663]

Garfunkle just seems articulate and confident and perfectionists, but that doesn't equate to egoism. Simon seemed to have low self esteem, be self conscious about his height, and have the false idea that Art was more handsome. Some people just think people who express themselves well must be self centered. I don't see it. I think the break was mostly Simon's insecurity.

[@Lorena-tz1lf]

@@jeanwilkerson7663 ¿falsa idea de que Art era más guapo...? Yo creo que estaba demasiado consciente de que Art, siempre fue muy, muy guapo!

[@RJLKMRD]

I love Art Garfunkel and I'll take his voice over Paul the way I'll take the other Paul over John

[@fanmaxis3004]

he looks like a hybrid of Lindsey Buckingham and Richard Simmons. BTW my IQ just went up 30 points watching this interview

what i never understood is why artie never developed his potential skills as a songwriter? i think he was lazy on that level...such a bright guy...instead of reading 30,000 books and walking aimlessly around the world .... why didnt he learn how to play the piano and guitar so that he could use those vehicles to compose his own material especially during his solo career? problem with artie is he thinks hes the smartest guy in the room...i lived through this period and 100 percent artie became a guy who did wimpy cover versions of songs that were hits for others many years before his recordings....and that got old quick...put it this way...artie in his solo career made barry manilow look like led zeppelin...thats how light weight artie became without paul simon. george harrison in the huge shadow of lennon mccartney...eventually wrote some of the beatles most beloved songs....the most downloaded beatles song i believe is HERE COMES THE SUN and to quote Sinatra "SOMETHING is the greatest love song ever written". you blew it artie...you were fucking lazy in the 70's, 80's as a musical artist...

[@surfrunnerd8457]

Just not his thing. He loved singing, being a part of the process of making records, expression, interpretation. Many writers are into the writing first and foremost, but the performance is secondary or out of necessity. Look at the Beatles. They had to perform to get noticed and achieve fame around the world. But once they achieved that they quit performing live and went back to their true love, which was primarily writing and creating.

[@andydixon2980]

You need talent to write songs,especially good ones with poetic lyrics and interesting chord structures, like Paul Simons. Art doesnt have that talent, or he would have written them right from the start.

[@debbiemaddox9360]

George Martin Art actually developed his love for life. Singing, walking across countries, his kind of poetry, writing a book, sharing his life with his wife and love for his children. I love who Art was and is...Many great singer artist DO NOT write their own songs...ELVIS never wrote a song, Sinatra never did, many others. ❤️ to Artie your the best!

[@HankFinkle11]

Some simply don’t write songs. Sinatra didn’t. Neither did Elvis.

[@subg8858]

He could have found a partner and written lyrics. His lyrics for canticle were plenty good and he has written several books of poetry. Definitely has a way with words.

[@keithm9337]

Please guys, do something new together.

[@TheEleatic]

He bugs me, and I dislike his attempts at acting.

[@danielc1978]

"Your mileage may vary....."

[@_.rayneemakk._]

Artie: "I remember going into the men's room before the show taking a pee..." We really didn't need to know about your pee Artie, but ok

[@LaurenJReale]

He is just too cool and too interesting to criticize anything at all, EXCEPT, I can't help but feel a little protective of Paul when there is any criticism of him whatsoever. I love both of them though, and the intricacies of bond fascinated me. I could listen to both of them indefinitely.

[@dr.buzzvonjellar8862]

Artie would have been a poor backup singer without Paul Simon. How incredible that he has no respect for that fact.

[@lamper2]

Did you mean without?

[@kalmia01]

It is almost always men doing this cheap and dull comments😅 not understanding it makes no sense doing this ranking. Trying to make of a wonderful artistic AND human collaboration of two different men, a sort of completition, a match. They are not soldiers fighting one another, nor athletes playing one against each other. On the opposite, what makes their music so astounding is precisely their ability to cooperate, to understand each other, to be at the service one of the other, to overcome differences, or even better, to use them, to discuss and engage not about their egos, but about musical IDEAS, in order to get the better results, to create together something that is so much more beautiful, bigger and larger than the sum of the single parts. Those who don't get that this is the secret to their mesmerizing, meaningful, timeless songs, recordings, singing together, don't get the core of them. You need (at least in nature's biology ) both mom and dad to create the new life🤗🌱🌻

[@hughmackechnie2104]

He is consistently praising of Simon through this interview at least

[@frank2778]

Who hired this guy to act? WHY???????????? He was terrible.

[@ubuhubbub]

Thank God Simon freed himself from Garfunkel. Thank Christ for Garfunkel's absurd delusion that he could act.
