Bridge Over Troubled Water

On this day 55 years ago Simon and Garfunkel had their only U.K. #1.

“When you’re weary, feeling small
When tears are in your eyes, I’ll dry them all
I’m on your side, oh, when times get rough
And friends just can’t be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down”

It was particularly notable for breaking a string of ten consecutive number 1 hits for Presley achieved in just two years. Although it was Presley's 6th number-one hit in the American #RAndB Charts, it only peaked at number 2 on the American Pop Charts.
