Bridge Over Troubled Water Performance by Sting and Paul Simon
On February 13, 2015, Sting performed 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' alongside Paul Simon, a powerful testament to their shared artistry and mutual respect. Just before this live recording, Sting had released his album '57th & 9th' in November 2016. This particular live performance, in its raw emotionality, showcases Sting's deep-rooted connection to the song, which initially captured hearts in the early '70s. What’s fascinating is that this collaboration comes after Sting's long and illustrious career, where he's dabbled in various genres and won countless awards, continuing to push musical boundaries even in his later years. Having worked with an array of celebrated musicians throughout his career, Sting's partnership here with Simon, another titan of the music world, reminds us of the timeless nature of good music and the bonds it creates.
