 Bridge over Troubled Water (song) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was replaced on the number one spot by The Beatles' "Let It Be" which was yet another comforting song for turbulent times, and also the title track to the group's final album.
This song's recording process exposed many of the underlying tensions that eventually led to the breakup of the group after the album's completion.
In 1999, BMI named it as the 19th-most performed song of the 20th century.

The August 2001 remastering of "Bridge Over Troubled Water" is the first-ever CD version of the album that sounds good -- properly mastered off of what sound like the real first-generation tapes, it lives up to the expectations that one had for this record on CD.
The songs were widely covered by artists in virtually every category, and the entire LP's worth of material was re-thought in a jazz vein by Paul Desmond on A&M Records.
The irony was that for all of the record's and the music's appeal, the duo itself, the partnership ended in the course of creating and completing the album.

 Simon & Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water Review - sputnikmusic
Bridge over troubled water is an amazing song, and shows the songwriting talent of these two guys.
Undoubtedly the song’s highlight is the beautiful slow melody played between choruses which sees a pedal steel guitar doubled by a trumpet to create an unsettling and moving effect.
The Beatles were on the verge of breaking up and, coupled with the violence at Altamont, it had cast the future of pop music into doubt.

Another story is that the song is not really a love song at all but is actually about drugs.
These songs represent the personal and emotional side of this album, but there is plenty to counter-balance.
The sense of loneliness described in the lyric is emphasised brilliantly through the airy, choral sound of the harmonies in this song.

 "Bridge Over Troubled Water"
Collectively, as an album and 45, "Bridge Over Troubled Water" won an unprecedented six Grammy Awards: Single of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Arrangement, Best Engineering, and Best Contemporary Song.
Paul wouldn't hear of that, and later regretted "giving the song away." In concert, Art wound up singing the song solo, with Paul sitting, brooding, off to one side.
Eventually, his part of the song became so elongated that, in the studio, Paul decided to tack on a third verse.

As I was listening to this song for the first time, towards the end of the second verse I recognized where the arrangement was heading.
A beautiful song sung by a young man with an awesome voice.
I was very happy that Bridge Over Troubled water was included on this CD, although I must admit that I wish it had been the live performance.

This is problematic for a song that is supposed to be showcasing Clay’s voice; I wish they would have toned the choir down just a tad.
I was similarly thrilled to hear that he would be recording this song for his single.
Nonetheless, the track sounds terrific, and it’s very gratifying to see this song I love so much topping the charts once more.

The First song I ever heard was Sound Of Silence...
It sounds as if Art is singing the whole song alone...that's partly why I was wondering if he had something to do with the lyrics.
The demo version of "Bridge" included on the most recent reissue of the album is fascinating because it was clearly recorded before Paul finished writing the third verse.

 Rolling Stone : 51) Bridge Over Troubled Water
What remains is the partnership at its best: wry, wounded songs such as "The Boxer" with healing harmonies, though the gorgeous title track was sung by Garfunkel alone, despite his resistance.
On their fifth and final studio album, Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel were pulling away from each other: Simon assembled some of it while Garfunkel was in Mexico acting in the film Catch-22.
Garfunkel vetoed Simon's song "Cuba Si, Nixon No," and Simon nixed Garfunkel's idea for a Bach chorale.

 Simon and Garfunkel
There are cheap shots all over the place, like a "new" version of the title track that's merely the original with overdubbed "rock" instruments, and "Somewhere They Can't Find Me," a transparent rewrite of the last album's title track.
Which is a shame, because there's actually a lot of good music here: "Rene And Georgette Magritte With Their Dog After The War" is a beautiful story song, "Song About The Moon" is a clever look at the songwriting process.
The most disastrous example is his cover of Stevie Wonder's "I Believe (When I Fall In Love It Will Be Forever)," minus the original's layered vocals and funky coda, and cursed with a sappy lead vocal -- it sounds like a Dan Fogelberg track.
