BBC Radio 2 will be paying homage to one of the seminal folk albums of all time with a special concert.

Simon & Garfunkel’s Bridge Over Troubled Water become one of the best-selling albums of the 1970s and was ranked #51 in Rolling Stone magazine’s 500 Greatest Albums of Time. It also marked the folk rock duo’s last album, with the recording process characterised by creative and personal differences.
