Simon & Garfunkel singer Art Garfunkel is celebrating his 84th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed singers of his generation.

Popular singer-songwriter Art Garfunkel (Bridge over Troubled Water, Mrs. Robinson, The Sound of Silence, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 84th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Garfunkel, a cultural icon

Born Arthur Garfunkel in Forest Hills on November 5, 1941, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Garfunkel's not just a great singer, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Art hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Art Garfunkel as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 84.

Happy Birthday, Art, you're the best!
