Paul Simon
Paul Simon is often considered the greatest wordsmith ever. His music career has spanned approximately 6 decades. Many years were spent producing albums for Simin and Garfunkel – part of the duo formed in 1956. Simon was responsible for writing most of the songs. Although the couple separated, Simon embarked on a very successful career. He has received 16 Grammy Awards for his solo and collaboration work.
Johnny Marr
English musician, songwriter and singer Johnny Marr first gained worldwide recognition as the guitarist and co-songwriter for The Smiths, active from 1982 to 1987. As a child, Marr tried to not only recreate guitar riffs with paint and strings – all with his right hand. Since the band split, Marr has performed with numerous other bands, but also embarked on a solo career. Simply impressive, isn’t it?
