    Garfunkel said this was his favourite Paul Simon song. It's so beautiful, it shows me why songwriting cannot be taught or a song written by 10 people.

      The interview with Art Garfunkel included on the bonus disc to the Bridge Over Troubled Water special deluxe edition featuring a mini-documentary on Simon and Garfunkel and the making of that album. Unless somebody uploaded that documentary to UA-cam, you’ll have to buy either the double-disc edition of the album, or the documentary by itself here, to see that interview with Garfunkel where he says that A Song For The Asking is his favorite Paul Simon song of all time: www.amazon.com/Simon-Garfunkel-Bridge-Troubled-Water/dp/B00H2E6WKY/ref=mp_s_a_1_14?dchild=1&keywords=bridge+over+troubled+water+2+cd+double+disc&qid=1595299194&sr=8-14

    I guess "Bridge" is their signature song, and Art's vocals weigh in as much as Paul's writing. I believe they had equal input in the production too? That song is a gift.
    But "Song for the Asking" is so simple, so beautiful, it rates right up there with "Bridge ". A too often overlooked joy. And with no disrespect to Paul, I would love to hear Art and two other of my faves vocalists all having had recorded this gem. The arrangement is simple perfection. Lovely.
