Who performed the song "Mrs. Robinson" on the soundtrack of "The Graduate"?

Simon and Garfunkel performed “Mrs. Robinson” on the soundtrack of The Graduate. The American folk-rock duo's music became one of the defining features of Mike Nichols's 1967 film, starring Dustin Hoffman, Anne Bancroft, and Katharine Ross.

Paul Simon wrote the song, while Art Garfunkel performed the vocals with him. Simon had initially been developing a song called “Mrs. Roosevelt”; Nichols suggested reshaping it around the film's character, Mrs. Robinson. The soundtrack uses shorter versions of the song, while the completed recording later appeared on the duo's 1968 album Bookends and as a single.

The song became a major hit, reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. In 1969, it became the first rock song to win the Grammy Award for Record of the Year. The film also prominently features the duo's earlier recording “The Sound of Silence,” which is why the soundtrack is sometimes mistakenly credited only to Paul Simon.
