    Emily. I’m an 80 year old retired music producer from Sydney Australia, and your beautiful rendition of this classic song moved me to tears. Your piano playing is perfect, and your vocal pitch is spot on. Back in my day I’d have booked you as a session singer without a moment’s hesitation. Keep up the good work. I think you’re very special.

    Over the past 68 years, my mother has so often been my bridge over troubled waters. She died peacefully in her sleep this morning at age 91. Tonight, looking for solace, I came to your YT channel to wrap myself in all the wonderful music here. Thank you, Emily.

    Awesome, Emily ❤. Your voice and piano sparkle, as does your visage! Thanks again! Never gets old. I feel like this could be one of the Psalms, and in the book of Revelation. Simon and Garfunkle were singing about their Messiah, and ours, I know! O that everyone would know that he did lay down his life to offer the bridge over troubled waters of this life unto life eternal! Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 to all! Peace on earth 🌎, good will toward men 🙏 ✨️ 😊🎉.

    Okay, I confess. I actually cried; tears fell from my eyes when I heard Emily singing 'He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother'. Well, I even cry when I hear her sing 'Rocky'! I think it should be prohibited by law to be so full of tenderness like that. Making a man my age cry should be against the law!

    💙💙💙💖💖💖Dear Emily, you were magnificent in the performance of this song. It's a shame that at the time I didn't comment on your songs on YT. The lyrics, written by Paul Simon, are a metaphor for solidarity and friendship, where the lyrical self offers itself as a bridge over turbulent waters, symbolizing a safe haven and support for someone who is facing adversity.
    Since the beginning of your work, you have always brought beautiful looks.
    I will love the day you perform 'The Boxer' by the duo.
    Emily always beautiful!
    Emily, princess of music!

    Emily, this "American Tune" was released on January 26, 1970 and a lot of us were worried about our America as she was being battered by internal and external forces and we questioned, would she be strong enough withstand the storm. Lucky for us, this experiment in Democracy did hold up and quickly moved to a safe harbor. For me, "Bridge over Troubled Water" has much more meaning today regarding our beloved constitution, Bill of Rights and the American way where anyone can strive to reach their dreams. I hope, as in 1970, the American people will stay united, stay strong and withstand the storm in these trying times. My hope is America and 330 Americans will in fact once again reach safe harbor. I enjoy your singing and your selection of songs, stay well.

    Could possibly be the greatest song ever written, and if ever there was a song that seems to have been given straight from a higher power this would be one. This is a beautiful rendition, like any great artist Emily is making the music seem fresh again. Last night I listened to her version of "Sometimes When We Touch", a song I've never been a huge fan of, but now realize is practically a musical masterpiece with some incredibly intelligent and deeply personal lyrics, highly recommended.

And as it turned out, it was the #1 song of 1970. Art would be proud of you Emily. Next to his version, you're a close second. You have a God given talent. What a beautiful voice He gave you. You are truly Blessed.
