Simon and Garfunkel- Bridge Over Troubled Water 55th- Art Garfunkel 1-20-25

In January 1970, America’s Simon and Garfunkel followed up the sublime Bookends and its critical and commercial success with an even bigger blockbuster, Bridge Over Troubled Water. Containing no less than four Top Ten hits, there was “Cecilia”, “The Boxer”, “Baby Driver”, the South American folk song translated from the original Spanish “El Condor Pasa”, and the award-winning timeless classic “Bridge Over Troubled Water”.

Simon and Garfunkel’s Bridge Over Troubled Water leapfrogged over everything to land at the #1 sales berth, and remained anchored there for ten weeks. Eventually it was awarded the Grammy for Album of the Year. Art Garfunkel honors us with his wonderful memories of Bridge Over Troubled Water on its fifty-fifth anniversary the week of January 20, 2025. -Redbeard
