Sam Harris sings his interpretation of Simon and Garfunkel's classic song, Bridge Over Troubled Water.

BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER

When you're weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;
I'm on your side. when times get rough
And friends just cant 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.
Ill take your part.
When darkness comes
And pains 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 silvergirl,
Sail on by.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
See how they shine.
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.

"Bridge Over Troubled Water" is the title song of Simon & Garfunkel's album of the same name. The single was released on January 26, 1970, though it also appears on the live album Live 1969. It reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on February 28, 1970, and stayed at the top of the chart for six weeks. "Bridge Over Troubled Water" also topped the adult contemporary chart in the U.S. for six weeks.

This song's recording process exposed many of the underlying tensions that eventually led to the breakup of the duo after the album's completion. Most notably, Paul Simon has repeatedly expressed regret over his insistence that Art Garfunkel sing this song as a solo, as it focused attention on Garfunkel and relegated Simon to a secondary position. Art Garfunkel initially did not want to sing lead vocal, feeling it was not right for him. "He felt I should have done it," Paul Simon revealed to Rolling Stone in 1972.

Garfunkel said that the moment when he performed it at a 1972 Madison Square Garden benefit concert, as part of a one-off reunion with Simon, was "almost biblical."

In performances on the 2003 "Old Friends" tour, Simon and Garfunkel took turns singing alternate verses of the vocal. Rolling Stone named it number 47 on The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

Wow. I finally found this guy after wondering where he disappeared after Star Search.  He is getting better and better looking!

[garfield146a]

My wife( rest her soul) made me sit on the couch on a Saturday morning and watch him on Star Search. Outstanding!

Your first concert tour was the first I had ever been to. It was the highlight of my life at that time. I was wearing this dorky flourescent outfit (it was "in" then gimme a break) and out you walked in that awesome jacket with the albums going down the front. Your voice still touches my heart to this day and I am so very glad that I have had the privilege of saying your name when asked who's amazing voice is singing. Thank you Sam for being a huge part of my life :)

[MegaDianal]

@SamHarrisCOM Thank you so much for your response. I am so glad you've been busy and doing well.
