Well, S & G went 'head to head' against the C's in the 1970 (13th) Grammy Awards (awarded March 16, 1971)
Record of the Year: "Bridge over Troubled Water" - Simon and Garfunkel "Close to You" - The Carpenters
Album of the Year: Bridge over Troubled Water - Simon and Garfunkel Close to You - The Carpenters
Contemporary Vocal Group: The Carpenters - "Close to You" Simon and Garfunkel - "Bridge over Troubled Water"
Best Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist(s): Paul Simon, Art Garfunkel, Jimmie Haskell, Ernie Freeman, Larry Knechtel - "Bridge Over Troubled Water" (Simon & Garfunkel) Richard Carpenter - "Close to You" (Carpenters)
Is this the connection?

Artist(s): Simon and Garfunkel Song: Bridge Over Troubled Waters Connection: Hi Wisejester7, I am curious how you made the association of the clue McCartney and Linkletter with your guess of Simon and Garfunkel for the artist(s)? To me it looks like the clue has something to do with Paul/Linda McCartney and Art Linkletter, which is leads me nowhere... All I know is that Art Linkletter blamed his daughter's death to the Beatles as "the leading missionaries" of an LSD drug culture.

(PAUL) McCartney and (ART) Linkletter to me was a 1st name type clue ... so PAUL and ART , to me , meant (PAUL) Simon and (ART) Garfunkel

Now we wait for Rick to say if it's close to the right answer or if I've managed to run afoul again.

And the wait is over...
Wisejester you are correct on all accounts.
The artist is Simon and Grafunkel
The song is "Bridge Over Troubled Water"
The connection is the 1970 Grammy Awards. Bravo Wisejester
This is the first time Twisted Logic was completed this quick.
