BridgeOverTroubledWater/Simon&Garfunkel (1970)

On their fifth and final studio album, Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel were pulling away from each other: Simon assembled some of it while Garfunkel was in Mexico acting in the film Catch-22. Garfunkel vetoed Simon's song "Cuba Si, Nixon No," and Simon nixed Garfunkel's idea for a Bach chorale. What remains is the partnership at its best: wry, wounded songs such as "The Boxer" with healing harmonies, though the gorgeous title track was sung by Garfunkel alone, despite his resistance. "He felt I should have done it," Simon told Rolling Stone in 1972. "And many times I'm sorry I didn't do it."

Total album sales: 8 million

Peak chart position: 1

An amazingly good album. The title track is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. By anyone.

That Simon is one talented so and so.

Oh yeah, Garfunkel was on this too.

Whenever the media asks, Art always speaks fondly about the time you two shared together....
