One of the most acclaimed American songwriters, Paul Simon's career has spanned six decades. From his early days as a folk singer, through his wildly successful duo with Art Garfunkel to his record-breaking Graceland period and beyond, Paul Simon has proven to have an incredible gift for lyrically complex pop music. His penchant for hook-laden melodies has ensured his mainstay as a radio staple for 50+ years.

This 2 disc set gathers many fan favourites from early hits "Mother and Child Reunion", "Me and Julio Down By the School Yard" and "Loves Me Like a Rock" to "Graceland", "You Can Call Me Al" and "Diamonds On the Soles of Her Shoes". A great collection from one of the most Grammy-awarded artists in pop music history.
