Career Turning: Bridge Over Troubled Water became Simon and Garfunkel’s final studio album, closing their partnership at the height of their commercial success.
Personal Struggle: Tension grew while Art Garfunkel spent months filming Catch-22 in Mexico, leaving Paul Simon to handle much of the album’s writing and recording before the duo separated.
Studio Lore: The title song began as a simple gospel-inspired piece, then expanded through Larry Knechtel’s piano, Art Garfunkel’s soaring vocal, and an increasingly dramatic orchestral arrangement.
