In 1964, the two signed a contract with Columbia Records and made their official debut under their real surnames Simon & Garfunkel.
The orchestra's famous songs such as "The Sound of Silence", "Scarborough Fair" , and "Bridge Over Troubled Water" have achieved success on the US singles charts. In 1967, he scored the famous Hollywood film "Graduate" and became an immortal classic.

Their concert at the Colosseum in Rome attracted 600,000 spectators.

充滿古代情詩的浪漫，還隱含著反戰精神。這些歌曲，不但曲調寫得好，連歌詞亦被世人所欣賞及重視，從此名揚全球。
Bridge Over Troubled Water It is beautiful and timeless! And so touching... reaches the depths of our heart. Many people have discovered that this is a spiritually inspired song. It has comforted them and fell that God is with them in hard time!
它是美麗而永恆的！ 感動和觸碰我們的心靈深處。許多人發現這是一首靈性啟發的歌曲。感到上帝與他們同在, 使他們苦難中得到安慰！
The Sound of Silence is a response to the sense of alienation between modern people and a reflection on human money worship.
乃是對現代人之間的疏離感的反響，與對人類拜金主義的省思.
