Paul Simon exhibit to open at Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

An exhibit chronicling Paul Simon's career will debut at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum.

The Rock Hall announced Wednesday that "Paul Simon: Words & Music" will feature a first-person narrative from Simon. It is a first for the museum.

The exhibit in Cleveland will showcase more than 80 artifacts, including Simon's first acoustic guitar, Simon & Garfunkel's original recording contract, handwritten lyrics for "The Boxer" and a letter Simon wrote as a teen from summer camp to Art Garfunkel.

Simon was inducted into the Rock Hall as a solo artist and as one-half of Simon & Garfunkel. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the duo's debut album, "Wednesday Morning, 3 AM."

The 73-year-old Simon has won 12 Grammys and recently toured with Sting. He and his wife, Edie Brickell, recently made headlines over a reported domestic dispute.

The exhibit opens Thursday.

Previously, the Rock Hall has featured exhibits on Bruce Springsteen, the Rolling Stones and other major acts.
