March 21, 1970 –
Simon & Garfunkel release the single The Boxer, from their fifth and final studio album, Bridge over Troubled Water, on this date.
This song took over 100 hours to record, with parts of it done at Columbia Records studios in both Nashville and New York City. The chorus vocals were recorded in a church: St. Paul’s Chapel at Columbia University in New York. The church had a tiled dome that provided great acoustics. It was an interesting field trip for the recording crew who had to set up the equipment in the house of worship.
