Siegfried & Roy
Simon & Garfunkel
Hall & Oates
Penn & Teller
Fact: Long before becoming the legendary folk-rock duo Simon & Garfunkel, Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel performed under the name Tom & Jerry in the 1950s. As ambitious teenagers growing up in Queens, New York, they recorded their first single, “Hey Schoolgirl,” in 1957, which became a modest hit and even earned them an appearance on American Bandstand. Years later, they reinvented themselves with their real names, finding massive international success with timeless hits like “The Sound of Silence,” “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” “The Boxer,” and “Mrs. Robinson.”
Correct Answer: Simon & Garfunkel
