   I answered Simon & Garfunkel, and I like to say to my defense that   
   they have recorded both of the songs in the question. That does not   
   make it a correct answer, since obviously the Bryants cannot have   
   written the songs for both duos.   
      
   It also occurred to me a little odd that Simon & Garfunkel would have   
   started their career singing songs written by others, since Paul Simon is   
   such a strong songwriter himself.
