Here’s a monster of a first take – Paul Simon, Luther Vandross, Jennifer Hudson and a Gospel choir with an over-the-top take on “Bridge Over Troubled Water.” You my recognize the arrangement from Aretha Franklin’s chart-climbing cover of “Bridge” and from Simon’s own Live Rhymin’ performance from the early 1970s.
