~ John once turned to Art Garfunkel for advice about a possible Beatles reunion in the mid-1970s ~ ~ Garfunkel had set aside his ongoing feud with Paul Simon for a series of reunion concerts and John wanted to pump him for information about the get together after revealing he was receiving offers to team up with Paul ~ ~ Garfunkel recalls his chat with John - Incredibly disarmingly, he said to me, Artie, you worked with your Paul recently - Im getting calls...that my Paul wants to work with me and Im thinking about it...How did it go when you worked with Paul? ~ ~ He was measuring his situation - the great John Lennon and Paul McCartney - with Paul and Artie and testing me out as if to make that my ego is fully established as a colleague of his, he said ~ ~ A thrilled Garfunkel felt that his answer could be the catalyst for a Beatles reunion and he responded, John, remember that there was a musical blend that was a great kick; if you can return to the fun of that sound and musical happenings with your old buddy and ignore the strands and complications of history, what I found with my Paul is the harmony and the sound happenings are a full agenda. Theyll keep you busy and youll have fun ~ ~ An interesting quote from May Pang - He was always saying, I wonder what Paul is doing. When John and I were together, and this is about a week or two before our relationship ended, I remember him saying,Do you think I should write with Paul again? I said, Absolutely. You should because you want to. The two of you as solo performers are good, but together you cant be beaten - May Pang - ~ Here are some great photos of the not-so-lost time in his life ~
