Simon, who came to prominence with Art Garfunkel as the iconic duo Simon & Garfunkel, went down in music history with tunes like "The Sound of Silence," "Mrs. Robinson," and "America." While Simon also had a successful solo career that spans decades and continues on despite recent health issues, the rocker pulled from his Simon & Garfunkel archive for a performance at the 10th Annual LOVE ROCKS NYC Benefit Concert for God’s Love We Deliver at the Beacon Theatre on Thursday evening.
Performing the duo's 1969 hit "The Boxer," which Simon wrote, the music legend brought members of the crowd to tears. But the most touching moment of the scene, which was captured on social media, was the way the audience joined in on the memorable refrain of "lie-la-lie" as Simon continued to strum onstage.
