Page "Paul Simon" Paragraph 12

The song's success drew Simon back to the United States to reunite with Garfunkel.

Together they recorded four more influential albums: Sounds of Silence ; Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme ; Bookends ; and the hugely successful Bridge over Troubled Water.

Simon and Garfunkel also contributed extensively to the soundtrack of the Mike Nichols film The Graduate ( 1967 ), starring Dustin Hoffman and Anne Bancroft.

While writing " Mrs. Robinson ", Simon originally toyed with the title " Mrs. Roosevelt ".

When Garfunkel reported this indecision over the song's name to the director, Nichols replied, " Don't be ridiculous!

We're making a movie here!

It's Mrs. Robinson!

" Simon and Garfunkel returned to England in the fall of 1968 and did a church concert appearance at Kraft Hall, which was broadcast on the BBC, and which also featured Paul's brother Ed sitting in on a performance of the instrumental " Anji ".
