Art Garfunkel : Break Away

[rin3guy]

This great song reached #39 in 1975. Kind of has the sound of Seals & Crofts.

[smc1332000]

Music of this composition and quality we will perhaps never have again. We have become "Jungle People". Americans are "de-evoluting".

[rockme1492]

you are absolutly right

[rockme1492]

Great Great Art

[novascotiawill]

Breakaway is one of Art's finest albums in my opinion... he's such a talented vocalist and musician.. this album brings back memories of university, when I would listen to it constantly, as well as Scissors Cut. Beautiful and timless...........

[rockme1492]

Art Garfunkel forever is like a good wine

[lostmyshu]

Ohhhhhh~it reminds me of my X. : (

[janierunaway]

I love this song to!!  Reminds me of late high school!! :) Good memories!!

[Boviss1]

A great version, but Gallagher and Lyle wrote it. And theirs is less produced and I prefer it.

What a voice AG has though. Remarkable.

[sugarplum76]

I used to love this song as a child and I still do, this and many of the other songs he sings.

[Krzyszczynski]

Well, guys: if you reckon this is good, then check out the original version by Gallagher and Lyle ..... and prepare to be totally blown away.

[kaattz]

thanks man, just heard the original version, beautiful!!!

[Supermick2511]

This is the original (1975). Gallagher & Lyle version was recorded a year later.

[zf4hp24]

Didn't Gallagher & Lyle write this?

[Supernovan2310]

I must admit. I love both versions; I prefer the vocals of Garfunkel's version, but prefer the music of Gallagher and Lyle's version.

Thanks Krzysczynksi (damn, that's a lot of consonants) for mentioning the other version. And kudos to you, Supermick, for the correction.

Cheers, mates.

However...Gallagher and Lyle are the writers of the song, to add.

[dazza7722]

True Gallaghar and Lyle were the writers and too sing it first

[jpjm44]

Well, I checked it out and I still prefer this version. G & L version sounded thin and reedy to me, and the harmonies in Art's version are just richer. However, I didn't even know G & L had recorded this song.....thanks for the referral.

[bodhirishi]

WOW, it had been so long since I had last listened to this great song. Flashbacks from the late 70's!!

[meltica66]

This is a fantastic album, my uncle had the LP and I used to fall asleep to it. Real gems throughout it.

[tayjay2g]

This is my fave Art Garfunkal tune. Very nice.

[bertielis]

One of my all time fave Art Garfunkel albums.

[tryntje57]

This album is so awesome. Why are there so few songs from it?  Where is "99 Miles to LA" That is one of the BEST love songs ever.

[Latz51]

Thsi song epitomizes a relationship I was in in 1975.

[dbrunsonsr]

Thanks for posting this. My opinion is that this is his best song.

[butterybum]
