Bridge Over Troubled Water - Simon & Garfunkel - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"Bridge Over Troubled Water" is a song by Simon & Garfunkel from their album of the same name. The album was the last one released before they broke up. Paul Simon was the sole songwriter on nearly every song they ever recorded. Both he and Art Garfunkel sang together on most songs but for "Bridge Over Troubled Water", Simon felt Garfunkel should sing it alone. Simon had been listening to a lot of gospel music which led him to move his original acoustic guitar demo to piano for a more gospel music feel. The Swan Silvertones were one of the gospel groups he had been listening to and he acknowledges that he may have been influenced by a line in one of their songs. In "Mary Don't You Weep" they sing "I'll be your bridge over deep water, if you trust in my name.""Bridge Over Troubled Water" became the duo's biggest hit and signature song. It won five Grammy Awards and is considered one of the greatest recordings of all time.
