    How many tracks were in the "Bridge Over Troubled Water" album because Simon and Garfunkel couldn't agree on a final cut?

    Question #120644. Asked by 29CoveRoad. (Mar 10 11 5:19 PM)

    		It ended up with 11 tracks instead of the twelve it was supposed to have:

    The Bridge Over Troubled Water album was supposed to have twelve tunes on it. However, Paul and Artie fought over the final cut. Simon wanted to include another of his songs, while Garfunkel insisted on a Bach chorale. Finally, Paul threw up his hands and ordered the album released "as is," with only eleven tracks. Simon and Garfunkel then split, each taking a long and separate vacation.
