Paul Simon Discography

Paul Simon was born on 13 October 1941 and has performed under his own name as well as (early on) “Jerry Landis,” “Paul Kane,” “True Taylor” and “Tico.” Note that Art Garfunkel was born on 5 November 1941, and performed under the names “Tom Graph” and “Artie Graph.” Paul and Art performed together early on as “Tom and Jerry.”

The information here is taken from my own disk collection (vinyls and CDs) as well as from such excellent on-line sources as Paul Maclauchlan’s site at:
