This song was released in 1970 as a single form their and final studio album - Bridge Over Troubled Water. Written by Paul Simon it is said that the origins of this song are traced to a late-night party with Paul and Art banging rhythm on a piano bench recording and playing it back on a tape player. Simon added the lyrics at a later date.
The song was a hit single in the US peaking at Number Four on the Billboard Hot 100 and Number One on the Cash Box Top 100. While charting in other countries it failed to do so in the UK.
For 55 years I've been drawn to this tune and its infectious tap-the-steering-wheel rhythm and the lyrics. This is a terrific cover by the Everly Brothers.
