“When Simon moved to England in 1964 he met Kathleen Mary “Kathy” Chitty (born 1947) on 12 April 1964 at the very first English folk club he played, the Railway Inn Folk Club in Brentwood, Essex, where Chitty was working part-time selling tickets. She was 17, he was 22 and they fell in love. Later that year they visited the US together, touring around mainly by bus.^[35] Kathy returned to England on her own with Simon returning to her some weeks later. When Simon returned to the US with the growing success of “The Sound of Silence” Kathy (who was quite shy^[36]) wanted no part of the success and fame that awaited Simon and they split up.^[37] She is mentioned by name in at least two of his songs: “Kathy’s Song” and “America,” and is referred to in “Homeward Bound” and “The Late Great Johnny Ace.” There is a photo of Simon and Kathy on the cover of The Paul Simon Song Book.” (.)
