The Sound of Silence
"The Sound of Silence" is the song that propelled the 1960s folk duo Simon and Garfunkel to popularity. It was written by Paul Simon in the aftermath of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on 22 November 1963. Simon conceived of the song as a way of capturing the emotional trauma felt by many Americans left by the sudden death of a seemingly vigorous and visionary leader.
