Episode 41: Bridge Over Troubled Water (Simon & Garfunkel). McCartney In Goal is the podcast that debates and dissects the great albums of popular rock music, using a competitive knock-out format. Today we’re discussing, Bridge Over Troubled Water which is the fifth (and final) studio album by Simon & Garfunkel, released in January 1970 on Columbia Records. It contains the well-known Simon & Garfunkel hits: "The Boxer", "Bridge Over Troubled Water", "Cecilia" and "The Only Living Boy In New York".  

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel saw the end of the productive recording relationship between Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel. It was their fifth and final album together. Art Garfunkel was starting to develop a career as an actor, which is referenced in the song Only Living Boy In New York. Many of the songs hint at the declining relationship between Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel, which in truth had often been strained during their partnership together. This album is considered to be their best work and was their most successful.
