1974 Art Garfunkel – Traveling Boy (US:#102 UK:#51)
“Traveling Boy” was the third single of the album and the opening track. Written by Paul Williams and Roger Nichols, the song tells the story of a young man heading for the road, leaving a lover behind. The opening track piano riff was made by Larry Knechtel, with J.J.

Sally Stevens performs the soprano note at the start of the guitar solo.
