Unfortunately, people tend to misuse and over-use the "voice of an angel" cliche and all its variants to the detriment of everyone. So much so that, when the real thing comes along, the image and the phrasing have nearly no meaning at all. Still, this man surely has the voice of an angel. Supernaturally beautiful.

What a dream I had Pressed in organdy Clothed in crinoline Of smoky burgundy Softer than the rain I wandered empty streets down Past the shop displays I heard cathedral bells Tripping down the alleyways As I walked on And when you ran to me, your Cheeks flashed with the night We walked on frosted fields Of juniper and lamplight I held your hand And when I awoke And felt you warm and near I kissed your honey hair With my grateful tears Oh, I love you girl Oh, how I love you!

+Amelia Morales M. I only loved Paul, my whole life :) When I was young, I had a friend which loved Art. She went to America as an Au Pair. And she worked at a family which father's was the plumber of Art Garfunkel's brother. I visited her there, and we went to a concert of S&G in New Jersey. But that family's father said: 'What? I did not know Garfunkel came from a freaks family! I will never work again for that guy!' A young man of mid-thirty. I am still shocked, after more than thirty years. By the way, we had been sooo close to them! But we did not meet them, and we never married them. But we longed for both, to be honest :D

What I read was that Art told Paul that he wants to do half a year acting (in Catch 22) and half a year doing music with Paul. Paul said OK. A while later Paul found out that Art was going to do another movie, so he asked Art why he didn't tell him about it. Art said because he wanted Paul to keep doing the music. I think at that point Paul just thought "No. No way." and possibly "Go fuck yourself".
