Homeward Bound: The Life of Paul Simon

To have been alive during the last sixty years is to have lived with the music of Paul Simon.

The boy from Queens scored his first hit record in 1957, just months after Elvis Presley ignited the rock era.

As the songwriting half of Simon & Garfunkel, his work helped define the youth movement of the '60s.

On his own in the '70s, Simon made radio-dominating hits.

He kicked off the '80s by reuniting with Garfunkel to perform for half a million New Yorkers in Central Park.

Five years later, Simon's album “Graceland” sold millions and spurred an international political controversy.
