Angel Clare by Art Garfunkel is his highest charting solo album, peaking at No. 5 and contains his only Top 10 hit in the US, All I Know which peaked at No. 9. It also contained two other Top 40 hits, Traveling Boy (No. 102 Bubbling under the Hot 100, No. 38 Adult Contemporary) and I Shall Sing (No. 38 Hot 100, No. 4 Adult Contemporary). It was produced by long-time Simon & Garfunkel producer Roy Halee, alongside Art Garfunkel. The title, Angel Clare, comes from the name of a character in Thomas Hardy's novel, Tess of the d'Urbervilles. A reviewer on allmusic.com says, "Certainly, there was enough firepower on the record, which featured guitarists Jerry Garcia and J.J. Cale. But much of it was filled with stately, orchestra-laden ballads, sung by Garfunkel in his naïve, breathy tenor. If Simon & Garfunkel had been the thinking man's Everly Brothers, Garfunkel alone turned out to be the thinking man's Johnny Mathis."
