Bridge over Troubled Water is the fifth and final studio album by American folk rock duo Simon & Garfunkel. They went out with a bang, rather than a whisper - the album topped the charts in over ten countries, received two Grammy Awards, and sold around 25 million records. This was actually the very first LP record I bought, in the summer of 1970. I bought this one because of the hit El Condor Pasa, which is now for me the least attractive song on the album. The four hit singles are obvious eye catchers, but the album tracks are at least as good, especially So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright and The Only Living Boy In New York.
