Paul Simon

On December 19, 1987, during a special performance later aired in 1988, Art Garfunkel delivered a heartfelt rendition of "Bridge Over Troubled Water" as part of a royal gala. Around this time, Paul Simon was enjoying a resurgence in his solo career, following his acclaimed album "Graceland" released in 1986, which had garnered international praise for its innovative blend of African rhythms and folk elements. Interestingly, this live recording came shortly after Simon and Garfunkel had reunited for a few performances in the mid-'80s, creating waves of nostalgia while highlighting their enduring partnership. Their connection runs deep, both artistically and personally, making this performance a significant moment. It's a reminder of their collaborative genius, even amid the solo journeys they embarked upon.
