{"product_id":"hearts-and-bones","title":"Hearts and Bones","description":"In 1957, two teenage high school friends obsessed with the music of Elvis\nPresley and the Everly Brothers, formed a doo-wop music duo and released\ntheir first record entitled 'Hey, Schoolgirl', performing under the name of\nTom \u0026amp; Jerry. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWho could anticipate that, within five years, these two, bright, well-educated,\nyoung Jewish boys from Queens, New York City, would go on to become the\nmost successful folk-rock duo in music history? Simon \u0026amp; Garfunkel. All largely\ndue to a song entitled 'The Sound of Silence'. Their spectacular career went on to produce five wonderful albums - the most\ncelebrated being 1970's Bridge Over Troubled Water - one of the best-selling\nalbums of all time. But, by then, sadly, best friends had become worst enemies\nwho would rarely perform together again.\nInstead, Paul Simon, always encouraging musical exploration and embracing\nnew sounds, went on to become one of the world's most loved and respected\nsinger-songwriters. He has sold more than 30 million albums as a solo artist,\nwith 1986's brilliant Graceland alone achieving sales of 16 million copies;\nSimon \u0026amp; Garfunkel are estimated to have sold more than 100 million albums\nin total.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In this beautifully illustrated, independent publication, music writer and\njournalist Pete Chrisp explores how - despite his on-off relationship with Art\nGarfunkel, his often tempestuous private life and the political controversies\nsurrounding his African masterpiece, Graceland - Paul Simon, now aged 82,\nhas, after all these years, maintained world recognition as one of the greatest\nsinger-songwriters of all time.","brand":"Danann Media Publishing Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54249914073432,"sku":"9781915343888","price":31.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781915343888.jpg?v=1777879842","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/hearts-and-bones","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
