Short story:

Simon And Garfunkel record the songs Wednesday Morning 3AM, Last Night I Had The Strangest Dream, The Sun Is Burning and He Was My Brother, in New York City, USA, for Columbia Records.

Full article:

Art Garfunkel : I first heard He Was My Brother in June 1963, the week after Paul Simon wrote it. Cast in the Bob Dylan mold of that time, there was no subtlety in the song, no sophistication in the lyric; rather, the innocent voice of an uncomfortable youth. The ending is joyously optimistic. I was happy to feel the way the song made me feel. It was clearly the product of considerable talent.


Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M., written in April, 1964, is a change of pace. The heightened intensity of The Sound Of Silence has given way here to a gentle mood, and the melody is once again a soft, smooth vehicle. It is a painting that sets a scene, sketches some details and quietly concludes.
