Bridge over Troubled Water (song)
``Bridge over Troubled Water ''was composed by Paul Simon very quickly, so much so that he asked himself,`` Where did that come from? It does n't seem like me.'' The chorus lyrics were partly inspired by Claude Jeter's line ``I'll be your bridge over deep water if you trust in me, ''which Jeter sang with his group, the Swan Silvertones, in the 1958 song`` Mary Do n't You Weep.'' According to gospel producer and historian Anthony Heilbut, Simon later acknowledged his musical debt to Jeter in person, and additionally handed Jeter a check as compensation. Simon wrote the song initially on guitar but decided to transpose it to the piano, to both better reflect the gospel influence and to suit Garfunkel's voice.
