This song was written by Paul Simon and performed by the folk rock duo Simon & Garfunkel. Their studio audition of the track resulted in a recording contract with Columbia Records. The original acoustic rendition was captured in March 1964 at Columbia's New York recording facility for their debut album, which was released in October 1964 but achieved modest commercial success. A subsequent electric version with overdubbing was released the following year and achieved significant chart success, reaching the top position on the Billboard singles rankings.
