"Father And Daughter" by Paul Simon

The prolific Paul Simon started his musical career back in high school, teaming up with Art Garfunkel to become one of the most successful musical duos of the 60s. Not surprisingly, Simon enjoyed plenty more success as a solo artist, beginning in 1972 when "Mother And Child Reunion" peaked at #4. Simon would nearly top the charts twice, coming in at #2 with "Kodachrome" and "Loves Me Like A Rock." He'd finally claim the top spot in 1976 with "50 Ways To Leave Your Lover."

Simon explored a wider musical landscape as his career evolved, and his venture into world music continued to produce chart success into the 80s with his acclaimed album, "Graceland." The big hit everyone remembers is "You Can Call Me Al," which surprisingly only reached #23 in 1987. Simon managed to score one more chart appearance in 1991 with "The Obvious Child," which stalled at #92. Nevertheless, counting his time with Garfunkel, that gives Simon 4 decades of chart appearances.

And he continues to make wonderful music. "Father And Daughter" is a beautiful song from his 2006 record, "Surprise." The big surprise is why a song like this doesn't get onto the charts anymore.
