一手打造出〈沈默之聲The Sounds of Silence〉、〈惡水上的大橋Bridge Over Troubled Water〉、〈史卡波羅市集 Scarborough Fair〉以及電影《畢業生》原聲帶的保羅賽門，在六七零年代以賽門與葛芬柯二重唱的身分紅遍英美，清新不造作的音樂風格和融入世事令人反思的歌詞，是所有西洋樂迷都不曾忘記的音樂經典。單飛後的保羅賽門盡情發揮自己的創作天分，結合了世界音樂和流行音樂，將專輯推向更多元的層次。他更不斷參與舞台劇和電影的音樂編寫工作，超過半世紀的音樂生涯，他的作品無啻是流行音樂的經典。

保羅賽門的生涯獲得無數榮耀，包括兩度入列「美國搖滾名人殿堂」以及13座葛萊美獎的榮耀，更於2007年5月成為美國國會圖書館為了表彰對世界文化有貢獻的優秀音樂人，以傑出的作曲家George And Ira Gershwin命名創立的「蓋希文獎Gershwin Prize」的首屆首位獲獎人。保羅賽門在1981、1991年於紐約中央公園所舉行的兩場演唱會，累計吸引超過125萬名樂迷，他同時也在人權鬥士曼德拉的邀請下，成為南非在脫離種族隔離時代之後，首位在該國開唱的美國歌手。在歌唱舞台之外，保羅賽門也致力於回饋社會的慈善活動，像是他在1986年與全民健康行動家Dr. Irwin Redlener共同創立提供美國都市與偏遠地區兒童醫療服務的「兒童健康基金會」，此一基金會提供了超過上百萬次的醫療服務，同時也在卡翠納颶風災難發生後提供醫療救助。保羅賽門2013台北演唱會將在3月20日於台北國際會議中心舉辦，門票售價由1200元至5800元不等，另有近距離享受高品質樂聲的VIP區12800元，將於2月1日中午於華娛售票系統( http://www.walkieticket.com )、7-11 ibon及全家便利商店Famiport全面開賣。更多資訊請上有象文化官方臉書 http://www.facebook.com/VeryAspect.X
