Interesting--I just started reading the latest bio on Paul Simon (Homeward Bound: The Life of Paul Simon). A friend of mine recommended it to me and said there are a few chapters that characterize Paul as taking credit for things he did not create. I've never heard, until now, that a member of the Walk may have written Sounds of Silence.
