Josh Groban And Brian McKnight Sing ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’ Duet - Staff Picks

Two talented musicians treated an audience to a performance of a beloved and iconic song from the 1970s.

During their time together, Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel produced several classic songs that are still heavily played today. It’s nearly impossible to keep from singing along to such hits as “The Sound of Silence,” “Mrs. Robinson,” “Cecilia” and “The Boxer.”

However, one Simon and Garfunkel hit that likely holds a special place in many people’s hearts is “Bridge Over Troubled Water.” Music superstar Josh Groban brought vocalist Brian McKnight on stage to sing that unforgettable tune with him. 

Prior to singing and playing the piano to the song, Josh calls it “one of my favorites.” 

Josh beautifully sings the first verse and the chorus and then welcomes Brian to the stage, who sings the second verse and the chorus. Then Brian and Josh sing the third verse together. 

The song’s chorus, while simple, is still powerful and, as time has since shown, very memorable.

“Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down”

What an absolute powerhouse performance featuring two men blessed with a ton of musical talent. They blend their voices together seamlessly, making it a real treat for anyone who listens.  

At the end of their stunning performance, the packed house erupts! The audience gives them a much-deserved standing ovation. The audience’s warm reception lasts nearly 30 seconds! 

Others who commented on the video also loved Josh and Brian’s rendition of the Simon and Garfunkel classic.
