Tom & Jerry

Tom & Jerry were actually the duo of Paul Simon & Art Garfunkel, who worked under that name when they began recording in the late '50s. It's a period that they downplay when discussing their careers, preferring to pick up the story after they had begun performing folk and folk-rock in the mid-'60s. Long before that, though, the pair were high-school buddies, and when they were both 16, they made their recording debut on Big (which was anything but) with "Hey Schoolgirl." The peppy pop/rocker, performed in the style of The Everly Brothers, was actually a substantial hit, reaching number 49 on the charts.
