Quincy Jones - Gula Matari (CD)

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Pros: Simply the best.

Cons: Even at 5:08 minutes, it's too short.

I was trying to decide if I dared start my now annual Christmas (as it was known before Bill O'Liely and his brethren ruined it) compilation CD with Bridge Over Troubled Water. After weeks of putting this Quincy Jones masterpiece in the last slot I realized that that was just wrong. As I listened to it over and over again to make sure I wouldn't lose my diverse audience demographic because you can't dance to it I realized that I was really grateful that I paid $30 bucks for this song a few years ago. I mean the whole album is great but it was this song that got me hit "complete purchase".

And not only that. It was because I was telling someone that I paid $30 for this song that my life got even better because they told me I could download this song on ITunes. So I bought an Apple notebook. But you ain't gonna find this song on ITunes.

So now it's $50. Snag it while you can.
