Day 20: Paul Simon

Today's Artist Spotlight is Mr. Paul Simon. I don't know what else to say. In my opinion he is the best American songwriter. This list contains a lot of popular songs; but that's a testament to how great his songwriting is. Not only could he write incredible lyrics, but his music was radio-friendly and easily accessible for everyone. Enjoy!
