Simon and Garfunkel`s Greatest Hits is the first compilation album from Simon & Garfunkel, which was released on June 14, 1972, two years after Simon & Garfunkel had parted ways.[1]

The album is currently available on CD under Legacy`s Playlist banner.

The album was a mix of original studio recordings and four previously unreleased live recordings. The album`s minimalist packaging does not specifically date the latter; however, the live versions of `For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her` and `Kathy`s Song` included on Greatest Hits were also included on the 2008 album Live 1969. The liner notes to Live 1969 state that these two songs were both recorded at a November 1969 concert in St. Louis, Missouri. According to the liner notes from Collected Works, however, the version of `Kathy`s Song` was taken from a 1968 concert in Vermont.

In a 1975 BBC Radio 1 interview, Roy Halee identified this version of `The 59th Street Bridge Song` as being from Simon & Garfunkel`s 1970 performance at Carnegie Hall, `the last concert they did together` (prior to their disbanding later in 1970). A live version of `Homeward Bound` was also included on the album.

The remaining ten studio songs comprise nine singles released between 1965 and 1972, `America` being issued as a single several years after its appearance as a track on the Bookends album, and one album track, `Bookends` (without its parent song `Old Friends`).

All the singles included, except `America,` `El Condor Pasa (If I Could),` and `Scarborough Fair/Canticle` made the Top Ten, with the last peaking at No. 11. `Mrs. Robinson` topped the chart aided by its appearance in Mike Nichols` hit movie The Graduate. `The Sound of Silence` and `Bridge over Troubled Water` also peaked at No. 1 as singles in their studio versions, and `The Boxer` peaked as a single at No. 7.
All songs composed by Paul Simon unless otherwise noted.
