Bridge Over Troubled Water
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bridge Over Troubled Water is an album by Simon and Garfunkel (their fifth and final studio album) released on January 26, 1970. The album reached number 1 on Billboard Music Charts' pop albums list. It won a Grammy Award for Album of the Year, as well as for Best Engineered Recording, while its title track won the Grammy Award for Song of the Year in the Grammy Awards of 1971.
The songs "Cuba Si, Nixon No", "Groundhog", and the demo "Feuilles-O" were recorded during sessions but not released on the album. "Cuba Si, Nixon No" was later released on a bootleg copy of an November 11, 1969 concert by Simon & Garfunkel at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, while the demo recording of "Feuilles-O" was released on October 4, 1997 on the box set Old Friends.
A remastered and expanded version of the album was released on CD in 2001, also containing "Feuilles-O" and a previously unreleased demo version of "Bridge Over Troubled Water".
In 2003 the TV network VH1 named Bridge Over Troubled Water the 33rd greatest album of all time. In 2003, the album was ranked number 51 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
