On this day in 1970 Simon and Garfunkel released their final long player, Bridge Over Troubled Water.
It is probably best remembered for the anthemic title track, a brilliant masterclass of Simon's gospel-inspired songwriting paired with Garfunkel's almost other-wordly lead vocal, however the album also features a collection of some of their finest and most eclectic tracks including 'Cecilia', 'Keep the Customer Satisfied', 'The Only Living Boy in New York', 'The Boxer' and 'El Condor Pasa'. After all, I'd rather be a forest than a street (if I could).
