‘SNL’ has scored many landmark musical moments over the course of its existence, chief among them this amazing reunion. The episode marked the first TV appearance by Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel since their breakup in 1970. Together, the duo delivered intimate performances of seminal tracks “The Boxer” and “Scarborough Fair,” before diving into the new song “My Little Town.” Fans even got to see the legendary pair share in some lighthearted ribbing, as Simon started their first performance by looking at Garfunkel and quipping, “So, you’ve come crawling back.”
