In the following six decades, Simon has written dozens of classic songs. His partnership with Garfunkel produced numerous hits like "The\\xa0Sound of Silence," "America," and "Bridge Over Troubled Water."

He talks to\\xa0host Alec Baldwin about how he\\xa0has\\u2014and hasn\'t\\u2014changed after all these years.\\xa0
