An exhibit that chronicles the career of Paul Simon opens Thursday at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland.

”Paul Simon:  Words & Music” will feature a first-person narrative from Simon – a first for the museum.

It’ll showcase over 80 artifacts, including Simon’s first acoustic guitar, Simon and 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’s in the Rock Hall as a solo artist and as one-half Simon & Garfunkel.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the release of the folk rock duo’s debut album, ”Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M.”

The 73-year old Simon’s won 12 Grammys.
