This is undoubtedly one of the greatests duets ever. But what Paul Simon does at the end elevates this performance into the musical genius level. Paul, after finishing the final harmony, withdraws to allow Art Garfunkel to use his God-given incredible vocal talent to take the song into the stratosphere. It's so generous from Paul but he knows that, even though the song is a duet, the finale requires a really powerful solo. Pure class. Love them both.
Look at Paul clapping at the end, such huge respect for Art's singing! I heard an interview many years ago with Paul Simon where he said after he wrote the song, he knew that Art had to sing lead on it because he's one of the greatest singers ever. And he was right.
When I was a kid in the 70s,driving around listening to songs on the radio, there were a few songs that would make all of us fall silent..BRIDGE was one of them.
In April 2020, when the streets went silent, shut in a little apartment just me and my cats, not sure if opening a window would harm me, my phone my only connection to the world, in the dead of night this song drifted through the smallest crack of my window, thinking how this song perfectly fit this time all these years later, giving the smallest sense of calm and knowing I'm not alone in my thoughts. Millions were with me but millions also died. Giving thanks to life in 2023 and thanks to the All Mighty One who provides and decides.
Every time I watch this, I cry. This is what fucking music, performance, and art is about. Both are much older gentlemen in this clip and have such understanding of their voices and respect of the music and lyrics of the piece. They serve the song, not serving the song for themselves.
I'm right there crying with you! I feel so lucky to have been born in the 50's and grow up in the 60's & 70's with such great music. Those decades were truly the birth of some of the greatest singers & songwriters to ever grace the airwaves.
Art Garfunkel and Paul Simon are national treasures and they’ve still got it! They wrote songs that touched the hearts of millions with more beauty and meaning than what I’ve seen my generation coming up with nowadays
Was my late wife and I's song. We'd be married 52 years in August. S&G were the soundtrack of our life. she taught HS English for years and used their songs to teach poetry.
I bought their greatest hits album in 1973, when I was 15, just because of this one song. I loved the rest of their songs and 50 years later this is still my all-time favourite song. An incredibly emotional experience every time I hear it.
The song was played at a church revival when I was a young boy. While listening to this song. I excepted Christ as my personal savior. It was the moment I was reborn for I truly feel in love with Jesus.
I think you mean you accepted him. I excepted from my life years ago, have never been happier. Why don't you look up those two words, see which one actually applies to you.
Are they singing with auto tune? Maybe it’s just the audio capture but it sounds like they were using it in the background just to enhance their voices a little bit
Paul gave the greatest gift to Art to record this masterpiece . Paul was generous and wrote one of the greatest songs ever written. It brings peace and grace to the soul. It has helped me in the saddest of times. My appreciation. Thank you Paul Simon💐
every Friday night when dad came home, it was music that mattered. it could be bruce springsteen or simon and garfunkel. but I knew that every Friday we got to listen to music that could be heard all over the village, and today 20 years after he passed away I do the same with my children and they like it
Simon and Garfunkel. Sony and Cher. The Beatles. I basically grew up with them in my ear. So their break ups bothered me, always have. I was 15 when these two called it quits. Since, The Sounds of Silence, it's been clear that Simon was the songwriting powerhouse of this duo. Still, Art had some beautiful vocals that were never more front and center than on this song. Bridge Over Troubled Water gives me chills!
Yes this and sounds of silence were really classic pieces of music history, and I think Art was the lead singer and voice of both of these classic masterpieces!
@@barryrichman2874 I only mentioned they broke up and it bothered me at the time, not that their music was comparable. Sorry if that's what you thought.
This has been my number 1 most cherished song since I 1st heard it. I’ve let my husband know I want this played at my funeral. It conveys how he’s always been there for me. He is also my Lord - always there for me. To me, this is a beautiful Hymn!
Imagine that moment when you find out you can sing, doing it again and again and holding that song beautifully. Like 'Air Guitar' I'd belt out a tune and absorb every beat. I'm rambling, wonderful song. X God Bless.
I love to listen to them both together..having also seen each live as a single. Unfortunately Art for several reasons..had little left of his voice the last I saw him in concert in Clearwater, Fl a few years back.
In February 1970, my fiancé and I sent this record to each other for Valentine's Day--a month before we got married. Still crazy--and still married--after all these years.
It's such a tragedy that these two can't get along well enough to even speak to each other anymore. I know Art wants to reconnect; I hope Paul comes around, too, before it's too late.
Simon and Garfunkel,my favourite band since the 70’s,they are one of the best ,anyway good luck to Paul and Arthur,hope they will be doing well after the professional life,blessed to be your fan
Wow these guys brings back beautiful memories of my childhood growing up in Clairwood, Durban, South Africa. We had many talented musicians they always played Simon and Garfunkel songs in our street corners.❤❤❤2024
I saw them in Atlanta at the Georgia Tech stadium. I don't remember what year it was, but they only did two concerts. It was absolutely one of the most awesome and beautiful musical experiences I have ever experienced.
This duo was before my time. However, I discovered the genius of Simon and Garfunkel. Art absolutely crushed it. What an angelic voice. It’s unfortunate egos got in the way.
How can you say about 2 of the best talented artists in the world giving back don't forget this is something our health professionals have forgotten unless you pay on your way out. Can't believe it took so long to get art in to sing. Paul Simon is probably and thank you for getting art in
Tears just flows over my eyes while watching this in a bus full of people. They all comforted me as if I had a problem then I cried more I felt loved. The power of this music hits so hard.
When you're weary, feeling small, When tears are in your eyes I will dry them all I'm on your side When times get rough And friends just can't be found Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down When you're down and out When you're on the street When evening falls so hard I will comfort you I'll take your part When darkness comes And pain is all around Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Sail on, silver girl Sail on by Your time has come to shine All your dreams are on their way See how they shine If you need a friend I'm sailing right behind Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind (Pong...)
This is my parents song. After my mom has been through breast cancer in 1995 and kidney disease since 2008. And Covid cancelled their 50th anniversary party and my mom is in dialysis I still love this song

I ❤️ them
Amen
Ideed Bro...Just Perfection🎉🎉🎉🎉
That's because he never sung at that part of the song in the recording. Why would he keep singing?
@@Xfactoriesjust shut up.
Look at Paul clapping at the end, such huge respect for Art's singing! I heard an interview many years ago with Paul Simon where he said after he wrote the song, he knew that Art had to sing lead on it because he's one of the greatest singers ever. And he was right.
Then why didn’t he let him sing it?
@@kingofallwhitesit’s a duo after all.
@@iamsachadallyil l'a laissé finir seul c'est beau de sa part
It is beautiful to see. Paul has a kind heart.
So. 🔥
Art is one of the most underrated vocalists in my lifetime.
The man LOVED to sing... A very talented Artist. Simon wrote, He sung & "THEY" sold millions... He didn't have that success solo 🎶🎶🎶
he is not under rated. lol..Well known as one of the greatest
@@davidgoldman6913😊
No he isn't lol
Art Garfunkel! What a gift to humanity,! The day he met Paul was one of the greatest days in human history.
they were both only 11 apparently......
One of the most beautiful songs ever written.
I agree 💯👍
They were great
People don't make music like this anymore . We grew up at the right time when all .music was great.
yes really...
I agree
you are absolutely right!
Wish I grew up in a time like the 70’s 80’s and 90’s, without the tik tok crap
One of the most Amazing performances ever!! To think this may have been one of Artie's last performances at this range. Breathtaking.
Did Art Garfunkel die?
@@kfischer212ify "at this range", he wrote. As in him getting too old to hit these notes.
Okay that makes sense then ty
@@kfischer212ifyhe got vocal paralysis in 2010 and his voice came back a bit weaker
@@mrball3417 what's vocal paralysis? How does that happen?
My husband and I have been married 45 years. This was our wedding song.❤
X
Congratulations 👏👏 !
I am so very happy and I wish I could find the love you have for each other ❤
Congrats...we have 30. God is in the center
This is immortal. What a voice. Everyone should know this even today’s kids
The everyone gets a trophy and beyond generations are REE Taaards. They won't understand.
Especially today's kids!
When they both start to sing it's almost perfect. No duo can come close to this!
When I was a kid in the 70s,driving around listening to songs on the radio, there were a few songs that would make all of us fall silent..BRIDGE was one of them.
Art is a great singer, Paul is a musical genius

They are world treasures.
The one touches my soul deep inside me, The other builds the bridge over my troubled water for deep relaxing and not forgetting myself living.
Art Garfunkel is amazing singer. One of the best ever!
One of if not the greatest song ever written it's pure heaven
Was my late wife and I's song. We'd be married 52 years in August. S&G were the soundtrack of our life. she taught HS English for years and used their songs to teach poetry.
The harmony of these two voices together will never get old
Beau geste de Paul de laisser finir seul Art ❤
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 25th Anniversary Concert. Was extremely fortunate to be there and this was a highlight.
Here I am on UA-cam again for the 50th time, listening to this. Always hits the 🥲 spot
Jesus the two voices together. Strawberries and cream
this performance has so much emotion. brought tears to my eyes.
Love, love, love this song and Simon, and Garfunkel, but that pianist is phenomenal! WOW!!
I bought their greatest hits album in 1973, when I was 15, just because of this one song. I loved the rest of their songs and 50 years later this is still my all-time favourite song. An incredibly emotional experience every time I hear it.
The piano. So amazing.

🕊✝️❤️So beautiful reading your comment . I am so incredibly grateful for Jesus being my bridge over troubled waters ✝️🕊❤️
keep it in the church why dont you
I think you mean you accepted him. I excepted from my life years ago, have never been happier. Why don't you look up those two words, see which one actually applies to you.
Pure genius. Garfunkel gives every ounce of himself to deliver the last note. Different class.
If invented machines design to ease life,then these two singers have invented this song design to be immortal.
One of my favorite non gospel songs that feels like a gospel song
Spiritus Mundi has many outlets, not only gospel
You still Excel all these years later!!! Again absolutely magnificent!!!
GIVES ME GOOSEBUMPS!!!
Such beautiful energy!
You are timeless!
LOVE YOU ❤
When your mate applause you
Shows unbelievable respect
You work well as a team
A beautiful song
A beautiful partnership

You have to love it when an artist gives it all they have.
Art Garfunkel is the one of a kind. He is beyond anyone who could come close to him.
Paul gave the greatest gift to Art to record this masterpiece . Paul was generous and wrote one of the greatest songs ever written. It brings peace and grace to the soul. It has helped me in the saddest of times. My appreciation. Thank you Paul Simon💐
Omg, when they saying at the same time and did that Harmony. We all love so much. I nearly shed a tear
Not taking anything away from Paul Simon, but Gatfunkel, what an amazing voice.
AAAAAAAAAAA-MEN... WHAT A WONDERFUL PERFORMANCE!!! 🎶🎶🎶
This makes me cry, this makes me contemplating my life.
I love simon and gartfunkel, they are the best❤
One of my favorites song of all time. I could say OLD SCHOOL MUSIC 👍🎹
every Friday night when dad came home, it was music that mattered. it could be bruce springsteen or simon and garfunkel. but I knew that every Friday we got to listen to music that could be heard all over the village, and today 20 years after he passed away I do the same with my children and they like it

Never put “Sonny & Cher” in the same category as “Simon & Garfunkel”…..that’s an insult !!! 🤦🏻
@@barryrichman2874 I only mentioned they broke up and it bothered me at the time, not that their music was comparable. Sorry if that's what you thought.
To have a friend like that. To be a friend like that. When evening falls so hard, I will comfort you, I will take your part.
That's a friend.
There can be only one. Art. OH MY GOODNESS.
Did he go blind
You will never hear anything come close to this in the charts today. Thank god I was born in the 60s
This has been my number 1 most cherished song since I 1st heard it. I’ve let my husband know I want this played at my funeral. It conveys how he’s always been there for me. He is also my Lord - always there for me. To me, this is a beautiful Hymn!
He can mean my husband. It can mean my Lord! This, to me, is a Hymn!
Memories. Good memories, very good memories. Fantastic music, thank you Paul for writing the songs and Art for singing them.
Imagine that moment when you find out you can sing, doing it again and again and holding that song beautifully. Like 'Air Guitar' I'd belt out a tune and absorb every beat. I'm rambling, wonderful song. X God Bless.
I remain devoted to Paul and art 100.
I remember buying the vinyl and still have it
.

I see what you did there. 😊

They got there! 😊
It’s not a tragedy, it’s life
They finally made up this November!
My favorite song for 55 years
Mine, too!
As A Christian I love this song!❤
Es ist bis heute eines der wichtigsten Lieder! Ich hörte zur Trauerfeier meines Mannes!😭😭😭

Best version ever.

Excellence is excellence… even at that age … and allowing Art to finish with such crescendo; shows; CLASS!!! Eternal.
I saw them in Atlanta at the Georgia Tech stadium. I don't remember what year it was, but they only did two concerts.
It was absolutely one of the most awesome and beautiful musical experiences I have ever experienced.
In memory of Jim Maine, 1953 - 1970. Still remembered.
😢
There are songs and then there are SONGS!
This duo was before my time. However, I discovered the genius of Simon and Garfunkel. Art absolutely crushed it. What an angelic voice. It’s unfortunate egos got in the way.
never to be heard again just remember that never ever again will you hear this at this pitch outstanding !!!!!!!!!!
It’s so nice revisiting this performance knowing that they are now speaking again!
3:26 heaven
Their voices mix so well, they sound beautiful together ☑

My heart aches---this is such a perfect song by two awesome guys, TY!!!
Wow, still golden after all these years, Wonderful :)
When you're weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all
I'm on your side
When times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I'll take your part
When darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Sail on, silver girl
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine
If you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
(Pong...)
Со старым новым годом вас, любимые! здоровья, здоровья, здоровья! Браво, маэстро!!!
Absolutely beautiful!! The magic is still there!!
Ehrlicher Applaus von Paul für Arts tollen Gesang. Einfach phantastisch. Hätte die beiden gerne zusammen live gesehen.

Better together
One of The Greatest Songs of All Time but it’s Arts song to sing as the original.Paul is a genius BTW.👍😉
Beautiful!
