On September 19, 1981 the folk-rock duo Simon and Garfunkel reunited for a free concert on the Great Lawn of New York's Central Park attended by more than 500,000 people. They released a live album from the concert the following March (Warner Brothers LP 2BSK 3654; CD 3654). It was arranged by Paul Simon, and Dave Grusin, and produced by Paul Simon, Art Garfunkel, Phil Ramone, and Roy Halee.
