Art Garfunkel chooses the Tracks of My Years

Art Garfunkel picks his final Tracks of My Years from an interview first broadcast in 2012. There's the daily love song and another round of the legendary music quiz PopMaster.

Art Garfunkel picks his final Tracks of My Years in an interview first broadcast in 2012 at the time his compilation album "The Singer" was released. Spanning a life鈥檚 body of work from the first Simon & Garfunkel album of 1964 ("Wednesday Morning, 3 AM") through 2007鈥檚 Great American Songbook album ("Some Enchanted Evening") and continuing with two newly recorded performances for this release ("Lena" and "Long Way Home"). "The Singer" includes every UK number one and US solo hit; 鈥淎ll I Know,鈥� 鈥淏reakaway,鈥� 鈥淚 Only Have Eyes For You,鈥� 鈥淢y Little Town鈥� (with Paul Simon), "(What A) Wonderful World鈥� (with Simon & James Taylor), 鈥淏right Eyes鈥� and more. In addition to curating "The Singer", Art provides his own personal track-by-track annotations, which appear in the booklet in his handwritten form. The notes are as unique as the man himself. The voice and soul of a true American poet have illuminated the work of Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductee Art Garfunkel for nearly five decades. It is there on record--the Simon & Garfunkel LPs of 1964 to 1970 on Columbia, and his deep catalogue as a solo artist starting in 1973 (the first six albums also on Columbia)--as well as in film, and on the printed page (his 1987 collection of prose poetry, "Still Water"). Art's final two tracks come from The Beach Boys and The Everly Brothers.

Ken also has the daily love song, record and album of the week plus PopMaster. If you'd like to get in touch with the show email Ken.Bruce@bbc.co.uk
