He just stands there hands in his pockets and absolutely delivers one of the greatest vocals in the history of music.
TristanandIsolt I totally agree with you! It doesn’t get any better than this guy.
,
thanks. I finally get a reply.
TristanandIsolt You’re so welcome, and so spot on! You deserve a positive comment!
TristanandIsolt Nobody else on the planet sings this song or any other better than Artie! ❤️ ❤️
He honestly looks like one of the dorkiest, goofiest, dudes on Earth just standing there belting it out with his hands in his pockets. And yet he delivers it absolutely PERFECTLY. It's pretty impressive to say the least.
If Art did nothing else , this vocal alone justifies his existence.
He wasn't a musician ,he wasn't a writer but he was an amazing singer.
Sean Snow of course he was a musician. One of the finest of the last century. The term musician does not belong to those who consider themselves instrumentalists. The fact he was one half of the finest music making duos in the history of modern memory in itself justifies his position as an outstanding musician let along a ‘musician’.
@@MrSeansnow "wasn't a Musician" He is, still, alive, you know. Good Grief. Besides; how do you know he does not play a Musical Instrument, in his Private Life, not that it matters, because, as mentioned, previously, on "Simon & Simon", Art Garfunkel, IS, a Musician. So, there, Hot Shot Sean Snow.
Spot on 🕊️💚
Craig G Thsnk you Craig. You took the words right out of my mouth!! Art is a musician in every sense of the word - not only the greatest singer I have ever heard but a meticulous producer of their records with precision & perfection. He has devoted his life to making his music (and S&G music) the best it can possibly be. Most people don’t realize how much effort Artie has put into the end result of their albums and brought us the beautiful harmonies we love so much. Thank you Artie!! ❤️❤️
No dancers, no show, no fancy clothing...just a microphone and a singer, I love it, wished I would have seen them live.
By "No fancy clothing" mention......
I presume you allude to the "Mutton Dressed As Lamb" performers we are are bombarded with today?
So true!
I love this song
I think it would've been fun if they had thrown in two lady dancers and musically gone full metallic, full volume. Just my bit.
And an outstanding gospel style piano.
Folks , you are watching one of the most talented vocalists to ever step on stage . Just my opinion.
A very good opinion too my friend. Tony in Portsmouth England
Tell me what your opinion is of john Farnham's version. ruclips.net/video/Z7scTuXSYT4/видео.html&ab_channel=GraehamGoble
You are not wrong, absolutely mesmerising. The build up is just stunning. He surely has the most beautiful voice of any singer
And pianist!
One of the most beautiful songs that ever existed. Ever.
Agree. This song is perfection
tonicursio and ClassicRock4007. true indeed coz it was sang by Art Garfunkel!
A song so beautiful that you can listen to it over and over......as long as Art is singing it though!
His voice makes it even better
@@tuts351Yup! Like this tune was just written for his voice!!
No straining, no pushing, the voice just flows out. Stunning.
Yes well said natural and beautifull; today we have singers who cant even hold a note and the songs are meaningless bring back the good old days"
Yes I was thinking the same. How relaxed he is, hands in front pockets, hands in back pockets, occasionally holding the mic.... until the song finale when he really belts it out! And then bows to the crowd. Love it!
@@13TypeONeg13 Class Act.
@@karlmayhew859 what singers are you listening to, almost like you're looking for bad vocalists
@@firstnamenonapplicable5138 no nothing negative just said a lot of music nowadays isnt as good as arts performance
Jesus Is the bridge over troubled water ❤
Everytime I listen to this, I cry. Everytime.
One if most beautiful songs ever written. After nearly 50 years it still gives me goosebumps!
Thumbs Up If You Think Art Garfunkel Nailed This Song!
Grew up listening to their songs😊😊😊😊❤️❤️
My husband and I danced to this when I was 19 and we were dating.
I wish I could give 100 thumbs up 👍 his voice in my mind is just Pure I don't know of any other words to describe how my mind processes his voice. No joke I might have been a weird kid but I swear I felt something inexplicable as a 6 year old child in kindergarten when I heard his voice on this song in 1969 my parents had the album and I hope that you don't think I making this up Ms. Joan I'm not. I remember it like it was yesterday I would come home from school they were 1/2 days for Kindergarten in NY and in one swift motion as I walked through the front door drop my lunch box say hi to mom walk past the stereo in the living room snatch the Simon and Garfunkel LP and the CSNY LP continue straight down to the basement where I had an old hand me down Wooden RCA VICTROLA from the 40's that would shock the living heck out of me every time I placed the needle to the record but it was worth it ! So to make a long story short I would play those 2 albums over and over until I heard my father coming in from work when I had to take the records back to the stereo before dad saw had been taken the only had 4 Records so it Was obvious when they weren't there. I remember my teacher Mrs. Rosen sent me home with a letter to my parents saying That she was concerned that I was never going to amount to anything except a clown in the circus not in a funny way because I got my ass beat first then my parent went to school to speak to her about my unworthiness to the future society. still not joking all is true. It seems that she was quite upset that I wasn't able to give the correct answers to simple word spelling during the flash card segment of the day and when it was music time the entire class was made to stand choir style along to for instance Disney music like lavender blue dilly dilly only i would sing
Word for word Bridge over troubled water and Cecilia also Suite Judy Blue Eyes ! Regardless of what songs the rest of the class sang and it was disruptive ! True story BTW the teacher was tall skinny big nose and a thick German Accent! Of course when we got home I got the lecture but was spared a second beating and when my parents went in their bedroom and closed the door the whole neighborhood could hear them Laughing their ass' off
@@chazvalvo2840 cool story :)
@@rok2533 Thanks I never shared that story but it seemed like a good idea at the time.
Art Garfunkel...
One of the most under-rated (BADASS) singers of all time. Just listen to that voice.
Give a THUMBS UP if you agree.
Robert D In Tulsa
"Underrated"? He's widely considered one of the greats.
I always believed it was Paul Simon who was underated at his time
Amazing! Can I give up more than one thumb?
Nailed it
And he wasn't happy with his vocal performance this evening.... christ almighty... a performance that will live with me throughout my life and long after. Timeless.
He just sits there in his hoodie, hands on the keys, and absolutely delivers one of the greatest solo gospel piano accompaniments in the history of music. Richard Tee, we speak your name.
yeah hes absolutely amazing...
The piano player really earned his paycheck that day, absolutely killer
The Infamous Richard Tee, as Paul Simon would refer to him. Sadly, he died of cancer in 1993 at the age of 49.
Yes i agree
@@MrHeadbanger366 why infamous
@@AA-sn9lz infamous can sometimes be used to express admiration
@@doodooboy3063 wouldn't infamous mean somebody unpopular? Like famously loathed??
Can't believe this is live. What a performance.
@Margaret Gust wow, that must've been nice
An open air venue, no ear monitors, no tech mixers, and maybe one feedback monitor...and just perfection of talent.
You'll never hear a better live vocal than this ever
My beautiful Mother requested this be played at her service... so we did.
I love you for eternity Mom 💕
Connie M. Green 1951 - 2020
sorry about your mom
RIP
Imagine all the parallel universes, she is listening to this sound right now :)
My condolences. I hope your memories of your mom bring you joy. This is a timeless song which generation past, and generations to come, will enjoy. Blessings to you.
Its a perfect song to say goodbye... I have put this song for my dad too. I can't listen it without feel pain.
Art Garfunkel nailed this song. This version is one of the great live recordings of all time. It is magical.
joseph lemko hi
AGREED AND ONE OF THE BEST VOICES EVER!!!
joseph lemko for me one of the best. I can listen to it all the time.
@Barrier Boy Yes but Paul Simon wrote it for Art so Paul should get half the credit but Art does have the best voice out there..
I Love ❤️ the best voice of Art Garfunkel many years and today to 2020
❤❤❤❤❤ this song is one of the perfect examples of the quote "where words fail, music speaks'
The voice and words of an angel.
If this song doesn't move you, then nothing ever will.
Absolutely right, talented beyond words. He will still be shining bright long after many of today's so-called "stars" have burned out and become forgotten.
A beautiful song sung by the great Art G and the amazing Paul Simon to write a song like this I think he had a hand God amen🙏🙏
This is more of those those sit and watch in awe kind of videos to me
this song and Artie ´s angelic voice move me to the bones every time !!! grgrgrgrgr
If this song doesn't move you, you are deceased!
As of now, 20M people have watched an angel sing. How does one piano and one singer sound like a symphony?
A simple answer is skill and talent, but, there is also the point of not making yourself more important than the song. There is a version by 'Friends for Grenfell'; Grenfell Tower was a tower block in London that burned down. As a response to this a local choir and some professional singers recorded a version of Bridge over Troubled Waters. The local choir nailed it, but the professional singers ruined it as they were trying to out do each other (at one point it seemed to be a competition of who could put the most vibrato in their voice). These 'professional' singers put their egos before the song and ruined it; they should be made to watch this video until they learn their lesson!
@@aaronjones6892 Going to watch this now.
@@aaronjones6892 oh really? you're hijacking this now too? shame on you. all you are out is for to get as much money as possible for not deserving people. Total con.
@@reic0002 What am I 'highjacking' and how am I out to 'get as much money as possible'? Frankly, your comment is inconsistent with the thread. Incidentally, if you are going to insult me, please learn your spelling and grammar; the first letter of a sentence should always be a capital letter.
I’m 27 years old male and from England and I absolutely adore this song. I hope GENERATIONS to come do aswell!!!!!
Oh, they will…
The purity of Garfunkel's voice is angelic! Simply sublime.
He doesn't oversell the song, he sings it perfectly, as it was written, and lets the song sell itself. It's so compelling.
Yes and he lets it build to the fabulous crescendo at the end. Bravo!
I totally agree with your comment, he really does let the song find its own force.🤗
Good point. He literally steps out of the limelight at the end, once his incredible contribution is finished.
He’s a very conscious performer. Why he made everything he’s ever made. He knows what he’s doing, always.
God, his voice is as pure as fresh snow.
The "FRESHEST🌱🌱🌱" ever!
I was born in March 1963 and was just 7 years old when this song came out in 1970 but it became my most favourite record of All Time.
In the early '90s, my father bought me a cassette tape of Simon & Garfunkel on his way home from work. There was a loud audio in the master bedroom, and my father and I turned off the lights in the room and listened to music together. At the time, I was in elementary school, but I was touched by it and thought I listened to very beautiful music. My father didn't say much, but it made me a very emotional and music lover. I would like to thank him for his wonderful music and say that he is now in heaven but I always love him.
Simon wrote it, only Garfunkel can sing it. A match made in heaven. Saw them live in Melbourne, still got it.
Damien Kennedy , phenomenal performance , but Elvis and Aretha did it fantastic. Actually Paul Simon said that Elvis version was the greatest performance of one of his songs.
Do they preform a lot still? I'd love to see them live.
@@Sarcastard24 , They do not. I believe around 2010 was their last performance together. They do not get along well. Paul Simon recently did his farewell tour, and since Art damaged his vocal chord back in 2010, he rarely if ever performs live. A phenomenal duo, who became the sound of a generation.
@@robmorrison1043 if I remember correctly it was paul who had a problem with art. I feel like it all started after bridge over troubled water.
@@Sarcastard24 Yes it was Paul who had the problem with Art and what a shame that had to happen but at least they left us with some of the best music ever written and sung by two of the best performers.
Besides Art's magnificent performance, kudos to keyboardist, Richard Tee for his spectacular accompaniment. He died at the tender age of 49
That's sad 😢
And don’t forget Paul Simon who wrote the song, and always let Art get the applause and kudos.
He had a natural ability. x
@@BigBruno624 Something Paul later regretted. This song broke up Simon & Garfunkle...Paul did indeed say Art was the best for the song, then begrudged it the entire time. Ended up hating Art as this song marked their end, one tour with the song and they ended. Art was into making movies, Paul was more into liberal protesting. The beauty in this song hides the hate it was borne of, both in the underlying reason of the song (anti war, anti establishment) but also of Art. The first lines were written about Art neglecting Paul as Art was off making movies and Paul felt alone and rejected. The tears he speaks of were his, because of Art.
damn
One of the most powerful, and beautiful voices of all times.
One of them voices u don't forget for sure. Great shame Paul Simon didn't want to keep sharing his intellectual property. Too bad I can't sing like Arrt.Still booting him off the holy Paul Simon said as he departed from a fruitful duo & friendship. Miserable bustard!!
@@seanbryant-smith5662relax son.
When you're weary, felling small. Listen to these Masters of music. Thank you forever xx❤
Few performances give me chills. This is one of them.
Tears 😓
Same. When Iron and Wind came here they turned off the lights and everyone stood for an acapella version of Flightless Bird. Oh my God. I was so elated. Until a bunch of yahoos next to me realized they were recording it and wanted to be heard. It's on RUclips...Alabama Theater if you want to hear it.
Goose bumps, for sure!
One of the smoothest and softest voices of all time. He's really under rated.
Under rated by who? Are u nuts?
André Zanollo nobody listens to this music anymore. Its only rap, which isnt even singing. Its basically talking fast. You can consider it a talent if u want...
Kenny Lucas you sound 60
Watermelon Kid... I'm from their era; late 1960's/1970. Believe me they were not under rated! Simon and Garfunkel were, and still are, two of the top performers of my era!
@@kennylucas8060 They sold more than 100 million records.
He'so truly unique. So different from most famous artists, singers, musicians.not even a trace of posing, pretending, not the slightest stardom in his attitude, way of delivering, just pure and deep singing, from his inner core. And that's what makes him such a legendary artist,still reaching and touching milions around t world❤
👍
Not sure. He sings songs of the folk genre and that's typically simple.
You are righy
This humility, It's so stunning regarding the excellence of the performance. I don't understand how this man has still no statue in the middle of New York.
The most humblest bow. Please pay respect.
Best live solo performance of all time.
It could be. Michael Crawford singing O Holy Night rivals this.
Unchained melody is. Art comes in second. I have k. Rogers lady third. If anybody is keeping score out there. All 3 guys alone on stage armed with what God gave them. All 3 walked off with legendary performances. At least this social distancing crap has opened my eyes to some incredible art I wouldn't have the time to discover before.
You'll never ever hear a better sung version of this EVER!
Nope! Doesnt even come close! @@LS-mx1ge
Try John Farnham's version, he's one of our best Aussie singers, 5 decades + career. ruclips.net/video/Z7scTuXSYT4/видео.html
I actually like both versions. Art's is a lot quieter which works well for the song.
Absolutely amazing!!!! He has the perfect voice and delivery on all his songs, but this rendition is so beautiful. Also, the pianist is incredible!!! I could listen to him play all day!!! Perfection!!!
Watch how I sang the song "Bridge over troubled water": ruclips.net/video/PZyb07p2D1g/видео.html
Pianist is Richard Tee. One of the greats.
Agreed, the pianist never gets enough credit for this song.
Can you imagine the pressure of singing such a technically difficult song in front of half a million people? And he does it perfectly.
WELL HE IS A PERFECTIONIST AFTER ALL, NOT TAKING ANYTHING AWAY FROM THIS MAGNIFICENT PERFORMANCE. JUST BRILLIANT.
James Smithe ✋🏻
that is so tru
Handsome Pay
Does it better than the recorded single.... and better than pretty much everything ever.
Art Garfunkel has the voice of an angel
He ils an Angel !
I know they had their ups and downs together but they should know that their musical partnership together produced some of the greatest music ever heard.
I like how he pumps his fist at the end to show his emotion and celebrate a great performance.
I'm going through chemo right now for the third time...This song and his delivery gives me peace. I can't stop listening to it...I just play it over and over.
Best of luck with your therapy!
Sail on, silver girl.
I don't know you Lisa, but I love you , and I will Pray every night for you.xxx
Sending love your way ❤️
@@lucycrunkhorn4354 I'm not religious , but I do believe in the power of prayer, I've got a niece going through the same as Lisa, and hopefully she is coming out the other side now, I never underestimate the power of prayer.xxx
One of the greatest singer of all time with one of the greatest songs of all time.
One of the greatest songs of all time because it was sang by Art Garfunkel!
Sonny you get that combination and the only possible outcome is greatness.
Right at the end the air-punch. He was so happy with his performance, which he trained for.
One of the best songs ever. Arts performance is just amazing.

My father died 3 days ago. He loved this song. I’m drowning in the black abyss of pain and grief but I play this song to really take it in and cry. I can’t stay in denial. I must feel. This song provides me comfort. I love you dad.
I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you find comfort in the loving memories and joys of the years you shared with your father. You are in my prayers.
Bless you, my heart goes out to you. As time passes you will find that your father will be with you forever, in in your heart, mind, thoughts and all you do. I’m thinking of you and sending you my love and support.
I'm here because of the same, except it was my mom and she passed 5 years ago. This song bring me comfort now.
I am sorry for your loss.
My dad died in october , last fall 2020 from covid and my mom died from grief and a stroke a few months ago.. my brother died in 2004 .. I have no one left.. but Jesus.
One of the most brilliant songs ever written. And yes, Art Garfunkel's voice was the perfect vehicle.
AMEN !!! LISTEN TO AARON NEVILLE SING IT !!! OH MY GOD !!!
Simon & Garfunkel are without a doubt one of the greatest singing and song writing duo's of all time, I feel so unlucky that my young self will never get to hear them in person. :(
When a human voice becomes the most beautiful musical instrument.
This is one of those rare live recordings that you know is going to stand the test of time forever.
cunard61 yes indeed turely inspirational grate Song ,voices!❤️❤️😉😊😇💕💐😘
I was at that concert. When he sang this song it was like being in the presence of an angel. The audience was hushed and recognized this was special. Simon and Garfunkel was a sound of its own.
My sentiments exactly. The voice of an angel
You were there??????? I bet that was really something and I am quite jealous. 😊 Can you tell us about the guy who rushed the stage during the johnny ace song? What was his deal?
Hi Lethia
I was at this concert too. I remember when that guy rushed the stage. It was right during the song about John Lennon. I don’t know if anybody know what that was about. But it was weird and you could see that Paul Dimin was a bit weirded out by it but anyway they got him off the stage pretty fast. That’s all I remember not much gel I guess to your question. It was so long ago. But it escalated great concert and I will never forget being there. PEACR
I was at their concert in Wellington, NZ February 1983. a calm summer night. When Art sang this, it was a huge sing-along by the crowd.
I'm jealous.❤
One of the most famous songs in the music world that I prefer.
Paul Simon is one of the brilliant song writer to ever write music.Sounds of Silence @bridge over troubled waters will remain forever master peace’s.No one does it better.
I have a lot of respect for this. When the roar of the crowd comes back at him, his instinct is to bow.
He is the greatest singer the world has ever known. I am 75 now ,5 years younger than Art Garfunkel. I have been listening to him singing for as long as I can remember. He was, and still is the greatest. Leoni Golding, South Africa.
@@leonigolding9480 Bless you in Africa. I don't know if Art is the greatest singer ever but he owns this song although it was written by Paul Simon, Art immortalized it with his amazing gift of a singing voice! All the best to you and yours.
@@kevinmcdonald6477 Thanks so much Kevin McDonald. I really appreciate your reply. Come to Africa, Cape Town, in fact. If you do, please let me know. Kind regards. Leoni Golding
@@leonigolding9480 I'm 45 and he"s definitely one of the greatest singers ever and was since he was a child. I love the story of how Paul Simon saw him sing in a school talent show with all the girls watching and decided to be a musician. I think this is an all-time great performance
@@leonigolding9480 Thank you Leoni for the kind invitation. I don't know if I will ever get to Cape Town but you also have an open invite to New Jersey, U.S.A.! !
Paul Simon knows good singing when he hears it. He wrote this song and he was wise to give it to Art to sing. Nobody sings it better!
Surely one of the best live vocal performances of all time.
This is so hard....in the open air, no electronic gizmos or ear pieces. Delivered perfectly and purely. I say there are literally just a handful of singers this talented in the world. Uber impressive.
When Art does that little fist pump at the end that was the highest level of emotion I have ever seen from him.
Art Garfunkel has the voice of an angel. This performance always moves me. No frills or complicated runs. Just pure straight up vocal mastery
I hate the frills and runs too of today's artists. Let's go back to no auto tune and composition mastery which we now lack in today's music.
@@TheCatnipCinema Unforunately that will never happen.
The simple fact is; Talent and originality don't make as much money as autotune and repetative lazyness.
Also, don't call modern singers "artists", they couldn't be further from...
@@experi-mentalproductions5358 I disagree. There is an art to modern music. It's just the art of making money rather than the art of making genuinely good music.
@@experi-mentalproductions5358 Och, don‘t be one of those small-minded „everything used to be better“-people. 🙂 Geez, 2000 years ago, probably even 30,000 years ago, the older generations would say stuff like: „everything used to be better…“
There are a lot of great singers today. Pink, OneRepublic (Ryan Tedder is amazing!), Lady Gaga (she‘d use autotune if it fits the song, just like you’d use the pedals of a piano), or Angus&Julia Jones, Pentatonix,… whatever, those are just my favourites today.
And in between the 60s and now, you got MeatLoaf, Guns‘n‘Roses, Aerosmith, Metallica, Nirvana, Alanis Morissette, ABBA, and a fuckload of other amazing singers and artists!
Seriously, don’t let confirmation bias blind you.
Yes, the voice of an angel.
When you're weary
Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I'll dry them all
I'm on your side
Oh, 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
Oh, 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
Oh, 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

@@jayshreesheth7250 I was looking for this comment! That's the wonderful Richard Tee. Gorgeous, tasteful gospel-style piano playing, perfectly accompanying Art Garfunkel's angelic voice. He died way too early.
Remember folks - this is a live performance - he only has one chance to sing this difficult song perfectly’ hit those high notes. He does it beautifully & it is such a joy to hear! Thank you Artie - your talent will be with us forever & we love you for it. 💞💕💕
I don't find it difficult at all. But whatever. I've been singing my whole life, so it just comes easier for me I guess.
@@johnclaybaugh9536 Easier than Art, mon vieux? Somehow I doubt it.
Right on!
Exactly, live performance in an open air setting in front of record crowds in his hometown....I think his little smirk/smile after the first verse was him thinking "yeah, I got this". Breathtaking performance in every way!
My favourite song ever gives me goosebumps every time .
50 years just fell away. How privileged we were to grow up with such great music
Exactly a year ago I gave up. I decided to not live anymore at 22. One of the last songs I heard when I was waiting for my "happy ending" was this song. Happily, I had a bridge that day who saved me. A great great friend who stills being a bridge for me these days. Even if it stills tough sometimes, I am happy to be here and be able to continue listening to this masterpiece. I have a lovely family, lovely friends and I am trying to learn to live again and love life. Art, friends and family save me everyday. I am alive. I am here! I love being here!
I Hope you’re feeling better these days, March 2024. Sending hugs.
I hope you're doing well x I also decided to end everything in 1998 but failed and now I treasure every single day x. .
🙏🌹🌹🏋️
Amen! 🙏 Life is tough and precious at the same time.
La voix cristalline de Art est extraordinaire un chanteur hors norme et que dire de la chanson ❤❤❤
By this performance alone Art deserve a statue. It's out of this world really.
Crying hearing this. America, sorry. The world needs this.
I have been listening to Simon and Garfunkel since I was a child, Art has such a beautiful and unique voice, which is further elevated when he sings with Paul. Paul is one of the most incredible song writers to ever live!
The 70s music will put you on another planet that no one will understand unless you have a love of the 70s music. You don't need drugs or alcohol to appreciate the best music ever. God....take me back to the 70s and leave me there....I'll be just fine.
This was my older sister's favorite songs. She raised me as her daughter. She passed away 1 year ago today. (March 25). I'm listening to it as a way to honor her memory. I Iove and miss you. Hug hug. Love, Honeybunch
Thanks for sharing. A beautiful way to honor her memory.
My late mothers faves aswell
i’m so sorry. rip❤️❤️
So very sorry for loss duck (I'm from nottingham) England x
Sorry for you loss I have two of my bros in heaven now
Art is flat out amazing.
Surely Art was never better than that. Sheer magic.
we don't get magical moments like this. we just don't. maybe once in life if we are fortunate.
The voice control, decent music and meaningful lyrics are missing from today's music world.
A voice from the heavens. Art Garfunkel.
Truly staggering.
I have watched this video countless times, and each and every time I do I am still filled with such a sense of awe and wonder at this most incredibly sublime performance by Art Garfunkel. With his jeans, and teacher poses (hands in pockets, arms folded), and that truly amazing climactic crescendo at the song's conclusion, what can better?
In 1970 we had this played during our wedding ceremony.
For 32 years, my husband we my bridge.He died way too early and this song makes me cry every time I listen to it. Thank you!
Sorry for your loss. Best wishes to you.
God bless you Andrea my friend. So sorry for your loss. Tony in Portsmouth England.
So sorry for your loss so sorry to hear sending strength
One of most beautiful songs ever written. After nearly 50 years it still gives me goosebumps!
Me too!
It’s a song to fall in love with again and again
Absolute perfection. Just standing with hands in pockets singing a difficult song so perfectly. This kind of talent is very rare today.
Is this your favorite?
No one can ever sing this song the way Garfunkel did, and do it justice. Don’t even try.

I don't know if this is the greatest song ever composed, but it must be in with a shout.
1000% Mate, and the Greatest Male Voice, past or present.
Ok Paul Simon wrote this masterpiece but Garfunkel brought it to life with his voice
The song "Bridge Over Troubled Water" is a masterpiece. It has been song often and is beautiful today as the day it was written.
Probably one of the Best Live Performances ever ……and I stand to be corrected
🙏🙏
Milton Nascimento - San Vicente.
Now That is a singer! Best live performance ever imo. I remember watching this concert on HBO way back when.
A man a microphone and a voice. Who needs more
Don't forget the piano player. :-)
And talent don't forget that

Listening in 2022; still gives me chills. One of my favorite songs. The humble bow just adds up to my admiration.

May 2022, still crying for the beauty of this song.

I remember a time long ago when I would listen to Simon and Garfunkel. This is by far one of the greatest songs ever recorded.
Richard Tee, one of the best keyboard player at that time . Exquisite moment . Art Garfunkel nice and easy, soulful performance . A masterpiece .
Thank you for providing the name of the pianist. What brilliance! Art truly deserves every bit of accolade received, but that player absolutely deserves his share of recognition, adoration, and respect
One of the greatest live performances of all time.😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
It's right up there with Beatles on the rooftop and Queen at Wembley
without doubt
Are we related?
@@robynhawkins48 we sure are
This performance makes you realise that perfection is attainable.
Trop de talent pour un seul homme, c'est rare,
je ne me lasse pas 👍
素晴らしい歌です。永遠に、人びとの元に届きます様に、、、❤
This video of Art singing is one of the best things any aspiring vocalist can watch. Art's timing of breaths, the way he manipulates his vocal chords, how he shapes & widens his mouth for certain sounds and effects, the calm expression he maintains... incredible. It is school for singers & honey for the heart. Beautiful in all ways.
Magnolia5 Spot ON! Yes.
Magnolia5 I keep going back to your spot on comment: A rarity for me. . . . Just wanted you to know it impacts strongly.
@@breabg828 Thank you for saying that! I don't comment often but this video seems to have something very special... worth taking a moment to share a thought & a feeling. I am so touched that I could add to your enjoyment of this song, & I appreciate you letting me know it. Thanks again :)
@@okmagnolia55 YW! 🙂
FYI I am still learning how to sing like him.
I'm 72 yrs.old now, still I cry whenever I watch this video of Art Garfunkel singing this amazing song, so soothing to my heart, ..Love this song..!!!
I cry too, so many people lost, we need a bridge over troubled water more than ever.
God rest and forgive 🙏

Helen, I am 73, we lived through the great times of music, god bless!
@@rubenvillanueva8635 you all did live through the greatest era of music. Music today like rap and all that pales in comparison to art like this.
Ditto for me, so happy I grew up at a time that gave us all the great singer/songwriters. Lyrics were just inspiring.
When I was a teen this was normal radio play. Now I am 67 and still amazed how blessed we were back then to grow up with what we took as normal. How times have changes...
This song is my favorite song
