[edit] Similarity with Oscar Peterson song
Is this song a cover or a work based on Oscar Peterson's "Hymn to Freedom"? Oscar Peterson's song was released almost 10 years earlier (at least) and starts with the melody of BOTW before lots of improvisations around the theme. Could it be a central inspiration to Simon and Garfunkel (subconciously)? The melody is really to similar to be a coincidence.

The title was derived from "Oh Mary don't You Weep", a song by the godpel group "The Swan Silvertones".

4/21/06 - I've read conflicting things about BOTW, once that Simon regretted allowing AG to sing it solo, the other that he had to convince AG to do it at all.
Question: who is singing BOTW on the added track of the CD? I think it is Simon.

"which was yet another piano-based future elevator music standard" That statement (about "let it be") seems to be entirely someones opinion.

There is a Church in Inglewood Ga. Inglewood AME., that has a Old Hymnal and I do mean old with the song Bridge Over Trouble Waters, and at the bottom of it where the author's name should go, it reads Negro Spiritual, Author unknown. Stop giving credit where credit is not do. Est3202@netzero.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.239.0.69 (talk) 10:23, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
