Duo Rock
'n' Roll US, Tom & Jerry, Tom Graph et Jerry Landis (vrai nom Art Garfunkel and Paul Simon) ont enregistré chez Big
(57-58), Hunt (58), King (58), Bell (59), ABC-Paramount (62) et Ember Records (63). Ils
seront connus plus tard sous le nom de "Simon & Garfunkel".
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.
Tom & Jerry (i.e. Paul and Art) recorded a few more singles for Big without any
success, all in a lightweight teen rock style. Most often they sounded like a
juvenile Everly
Brothers, but echoes of Elvis,
teen idols, and doo-wop could also be heard. The material (most of which was
original) wasn't that strong, but echoes of the future could be clearly heard in
their close harmonies and occasional hastily strummed acoustic guitars. The pair
were understandably angry when Pickwick Records released an album of Tom &
Jerry recordings as a Simon & Garfunkel LP in the mid-'60s, shortly after "Sounds
of Silence" had reinvented the duo as folk-rock stars. The recordings aren't
remotely comparable to the Simon & Garfunkel classics, but they certainly hold
historical interest, and a few of the cuts really aren't bad, in a catchy,
innocuous late-'50s way. The tracks have also surfaced on some obscure (and
possibly unauthorized) reissues.
