Bridge over troubled water- by Clay - Is this going to be released as a single too?

[stormi65]

Hoping it is true that it will- the best rendition even over the original I have ever heard. Everytime I hear it, I can only say "wow"

That's what I heard this morning on Fox News. I hope it's true.

I just read that "Bridge over Troubled Waters" will be released in a few days.

I hope they do, it was incredible. I will definately buy it.

You can buy it already if you like. The exact same rendition was released 33 years ago on the album 'That's the Way it Is' - of course I think the singer's name was Elvis, not Clay.

I actually LOVED Clay's performance of that even though I'm a big Ruben fan. I knew as soon as I heard the first few bars of the arrangement that he was going to do the Elvis version which is extremely powerful and I knew he'd nail it. My mother-in-law has that on DVD which is why that immediately registered with me.

You can actually download Clay's version for free at the following web site. There shouldn't be any legal problems with it as this site is very well known and has been operating ever since last year's competition. It's a little slow at times though, due to its popularity for having the MP3s and videos online faster than any other site:

I have heard the version by Elvis and it is awesome-- I actually dont have that version, but I do have the original Simon and Garfunkel version.

Clay has a contract now at RCA. I can't wait for the first CD.

Why does it make you disable Internet Security??

Clay and Rubin's first CD will be released the same day probably 4 months or so from now.

Ooh, I hope they do! I love his version of that song!

 

[beattyfamily]

I'd buy it too! I'd be more excited about this song than the other 2 that are coming out June 2!

 

[Jomrog]

I can't wait to get it! His rendition sent chills down my spine. It was dynamic!

 

[suzannen]

I'll buy it!

I wished he had done it ala Art Garfunkel (just stand there and belt!) but I would buy Clay's version too. Ever since 9/11, that song hasn't been the same for me.
