About this album

Bridge Over Troubled Water is Simon & Garfunkel’s towering farewell and one of the great late-60s pop albums. Released in 1970, it paired the duo’s immaculate harmonies with Paul Simon’s sharpest songwriting and a broader, more ambitious sound, moving from the title track’s gospel sweep to the rhythmic bite of Cecilia and the reflective reach of The Boxer. The album became their most commercially successful release and won major Grammy recognition, helping define the polished folk-rock and soft-rock crossover that followed. Its blend of intimacy, melody and melancholy keeps it a landmark of American pop songwriting.

Genre: Pop & Rock
