NFT: Cover of "Bridge Over Troubled Water"

I remember hearing this on the radio when it came out in 1970. It became a great hit and in the years following had some great covers including Elvis and Aretha. But this cover by Whitney Houston & Cece Winans is right up there with the best. They both sing their hears out and they're great together. Enjoy it.

"But incredibly over exposed song when it came out."

Until the moment in time when you or a loved one needs to hear it, to feel it, to feel the comfort it lends.

Love Whitney and CeCe

But that rendition doesn't do anything f I r me. I feel like they lose the wonderful melody and harmony a bit with the runs.

Imho, I think apart from the original, this is my favorite cover...

Thanks, Modus. I do like that one.

I'd also like to add another I recently heard. For me, this one by Roberta Flack is the deepest - if that's the right word.

Excellent suggestions all, took me on a 60 minute YouTube trip that somehow led me to another great cover, "Both Sides Now" by Neil Diamond. Thanks for that Ira.
