WORLD MUSIC LEGEND: March 2010

A re-upload of the album by Carlo Monteverdi playing the songs made famous and mostly written by Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel. The first performances this duo made was under the name Tom and Jerry at the end of the 50's and in the early 60's. They split up but came back together in 1965. This is when they began producing their best known hits, many of which can be found on this album.
I can't tell you anything about Carlo Monteverdi but I hope some of our visitors maybe can.
