The Vinyl Countdown # 68

Ray Conniff And The Singers, Bridge Over Troubled Water (1970) I seem to be collecting up versions of the song Bridge Over Troubled Water – and from cataloguing my records on Discogs finally I can certainly see that I’m collecting up anything I find by Ray Conniff and – variously The Ray Conniff Singers, His […]

Poem: Friends Just Can’t Be Found

Here’s the key thing about Bridge Over Troubled Water: when Paul Simon wrote it – he had just two verses. He took it to Art Garfunkel and asked what he thought. Artie told him to go away and write a third verse – told him he had half a good song but it needed finishing. […]

Simon & Garfunkel, Bridge Over Troubled Water (1970) Here’s the thing – I had never heard this album. I am a Simon & Garfunkel fan and not to get too defensive, but not only did I already know about 85% of this album I’ve heard the songs performed live by both Paul Simon and Art […]
