Much of the info for this episode comes from "The Paul Simon Companion," edited by Stacey Luftig, a collection of articles from 4 decades.

Within this collection, the quote from producer Tom Wilson comes from "Simon & Garfunkel: Old Friends," by Joseph Morella and Patricia Barey.

The quotes of Art Garfunkel are from a 1990 interview by Paul Zollo for Songtalk.

Additional reading/videos we absorbed for this episode, but didn't directly reference, and that you might dig:

About Aretha Franklin's cover of Bridge Over Troubled Water

About Paul Simon giving Claude Jeter, singer of Swan Silvertones, $1,000.

An interview with Paul Simon on The Dick Cavett Show, where he talks through Bridge Over Troubled Water

A recent interview with Art Garfunkel on the PBS News Hour, where you can get a sense of what a cool person Garfunkel is
