It's not uncommon for a person to follow in their parent's footsteps, and in the Garfunkel household, the family business is music.
"His pitch was perfect," Garfunkel Sr. recalls. "His range was going way up to the high notes. He goes as high as I go and he goes beyond what I go. He's actually a better singer than me.""Well, of course, me and my father, you know, we are best friends," Garfunkel Jr. adds. "We're fans of each other. I'm a huge fan of my dad's voice and music, so may that be said.
Garfunkel Jr. still remembers the exact moment he realized his dad was part of Simon & Garfunkel, one of the most celebrated folk duos of all time. It was in 2004 at the Colosseum in Rome, where Simon & Garfunkel were wrapping up a massive reunion tour."I was standing next to the stage, watching from behind the scenes," Garfunkel Jr. recalls.
