Who am I (60s, US)?

Yes thanks Brian. Sheena: Sorry you have a fever. Art Garfunkel has composed material so I dismissed him as a potential candidate. Off the top of my head, Bright Eyes being one of them.

Actor? We're stretching it a bit here Sheena

Bright Eyes,Peter, was performed by Art Garfunkel but written by Mike Batt, he of Wombles fame.

Boy, you sure had us on the run Sheena. Lookin' for fun and feeling groovy. Who knew?

Roy: I guess I would argue that we are both right here. I have always thought that Garfunkel wrote the lyrics. Did Batt write the music and the lyrics?

Peter: he did compose some material, that's true, but he wasn't known for good songwriting.
("who knew?" - sorry cannot get what you mean)
PS: (a bit "tigrishly") wait till my next one...

Get well Sheena. Try to get some rest too.

Mike Batt, Peter, wrote the music and the lyrics for Bright Eyes

Roy: As I review an number of additional sources, it would seem that you are indeed correct. My apology.

Thanks Brian, indeed i will... in a couple of hours.

Thanks for adding information, Peter & Roy.

No need for apologies Peter and Sheena get better soon.

No doubt i will

Thanks a lot, man.
BTW, think this one will be really easy: what's the song that was paraphrased?

Bridge Over Troubled Waters?

Art Garfunkel put out a great album quite some time ago called "Breakaway". There are some teriffic songs on it, done extremely well!

Yes Brian, got it! (albeit my version of the album says 'troubled water').
