      Yes, I am almost in total agreement, here. Renditions must be/have been sung -if done- by other top-class singers, such as (... yes!) Nana Mouskouri and (maybe) Morten Harket.

    Absolutely beautifully written song by the Master, Paul Simon. A masterpiece of a song. No one else could possibly sing this timeless and beautiful song though, except Artie. I love these two and wish they'd put differences aside, and make up. Together even with their differences, they were One. Love both of them.

    • @tabaxikhajit4541
      @tabaxikhajit4541 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      This was a magic I didn't understand when I was young. It is so true that Simon had a unique gift, but no one brought it to life like Garfunkel. He was the vocal magic that made Simon's ideas come to life. Neither were as strong apart. This is why their greatest hits album is still my favorite, even after all these years.

    • @tabaxikhajit4541
      @tabaxikhajit4541 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes. My heart breaks with it. It is a spring morning after a rain, and the waters are rushing and tearing at the bridge on which I stand, and Art begins to sing. The water may still seem feirce, but his gentle voice calms it. The softness of his voice lets you know all is ok even if you are washed away. That is the magic of them together. Simon & Garfunkel are the only ones who carry you over the bridge, but they can only do it together.

    With all due respect--I love this song--one of my all-time favorites.
    That being said, I always thought it came off a bit weird live. It's so dramatic, I always feel a little let down when I see it live, and Arty's chops were so outstanding in 1970, it's hard to reproduce live.

    Gifted. Feeling the lyrics was his burden. The pain, the joy, are all present. What an era he performed in. With all the great singers such as Micheal Jackson; Freddie Mercury; he managed to stand out alongside the greatest of them all. Now music is ridiculous and unmemorable. Unlike Elvis; or Michael or Freddie and Art Garfunkle. I'm so glad to have lived while they were alive. Elvis I missed as he died before I was born. But through reputation I watched his performances and realised why they called him king. Michael Jackson also earned his king of pop. Art Garfunkle has earned the king of Tears. Freddie was the king of the octave. I miss them all. Long may they reign.

    Yea ! "Bridge Over Troubled Water" - a unique neoclassical song (with sweet melody & meaningful lyrics) which suits especially the E Flat Major key, i.e. singing it in a different key would noticeably sound a bit less pleasing & emphatic.
    One of my favorite piano pieces during my early college days, way back 1969- 70s until that song was more popular when it became a Grammy Award winner by 1971.
