Art Garfunkel Jr.’s first memory of singing onstage with his father is pretty hazy, but he knows it took place in Japan sometime before his third birthday. “I believe I was pushed out in a wheelbarrow, wearing a traditional Japanese kimono,” he tells Rolling Stone. “My parents picked me up and I sang a little bit of the high part of [Simon and Garfunkel’s 1966 hit] ‘Feelin’ Groovy.'”
For most children of rock stars, this would be little more than a sweet, one-off moment. For Art Garfunkel Jr., 33, it was the start of a career singing his father’s music that continues to this day. And although he’s traveled across America as part of his dad’s solo show, helping him hit high notes he can’t quite reach as an octogenarian, his career really took off a few years back in his adopted home country of Germany when he started releasing covers of his dad’s music in German. He plays shows all across Germany to large, rapturous audiences.
“I feel blessed to have been born into this family,” he says. “I’m so proud to be Art Garfunkel Jr. I’m so proud of my dad’s legacy. I walk in his footsteps.”
