Someone else sang 59th street bridge song????
simple simon fan
The other day, Amy and I were watching an infomercial about 60's music, and
we wanted to see if they were going to have Simon and Garfunkel on it, so we
kept watching. Low and behold 59th Street Bridge Song came on....but some
other musicians were singing it!!! Who are they? Why are they singing it? I
thought that Paul wrote that song!!! What's the deal???
Thank you,
Megan

You probably saw a group called Harpers Bazaar(if I remember correctly)
doing it. They recorded a single of it, and it probably got as much radio play
as Simon and Garfunkel's. Most people think the Harpers Bazaar version *IS*
the Simon and Garfunkel version.

I can think of at least two songs missing from this list (one of which has been

There is a really beautiful live version of the song by Al Kooper and Mick
Bloomfield. I think Paul is singing along on the last verse (can someone
confirm?).
I love this cover. It differs much from the original and is still very
recognizable.

I thought of Wed. Morning, but it looks like they only want songs that start
with numbers. Then I thought of One Man's Ceiling, does that count -- or do
they only want songs that start with the digit rather than having the number
spelled out?

No. I believe the list was song tiles that START with numbers. The one
mentioned here was "96 Tears." The other one I thought of, but can't remember
who sang it, is "634-5789."

Very good, although 98.6 was by Keith.

Steve Cropper & Eddie (Knock On Wood) Floyd wrote it for Wilson Pickett in
1966. I had it confused at first with Beechwood 4-5789 by Martha & The
Vandellas but then I realized I was "hearing" a different song in my head.
It's been recorded by a *lot* of people including Ry Cooder, BonJovi, Trace
Adkins, Edwin Starr, and there's a live version by Bruce Springsteen floating
around somewhere from 1974.

I think the original concept was song titles that star with numbers.

On elementary school field trips we must've driven umpteen school bus
drivers completely buggy w/ "99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall", sung over &
over... and we didn't know there *was* a shorter version, poor guys.
(There weren't women school bus drivers in the 50's & early 60's, that I
remember.) Otoh, we always sang "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow" for the
driver, at the end of each trip, so it (sort of) evened out. ;-)
