Simon & Garfunkel reportedly spent more than 800 hours over a two-year span recording what would be their final studio album together. The title single “Bridge Over Troubled Water” won an unprecedented five Grammy Awards: Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Contemporary Song, Best Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist(s), and Best Engineered Recording; with Bridge Over Troubled Water winning the top award as Album Of the Year. (In 1998, “Bridge Over Troubled Water” was voted into the Grammy Hall Of Fame, one of many awards that the song and album have won around the world over the past four decades.)
This deluxe CD+DVD set includes the original 11-song album plus the duo’s never-before-commercially-available “Songs Of America” CBS television special from 1969 on DVD. The DVD will also include The Harmony Game: The Making of Bridge Over Troubled Water, a newly-created documentary on Bridge Over Troubled Water featuring new interviews with Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel.
