#172 Simon and Garfunkel, 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' (1970)

Featuring some of Paul Simon’s finest songs, ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’ was the fifth and final record to be released by the duo. It was recorded in two parts; session 1 in November 1968 and session 2 exactly a year later in November 1969. In the intervening year, Simon furiously wrote songs while Art Garfunkel took time out to act in the movie, ‘Catch-22.’ The film took longer than expected and the duo’s relationship suffered.
