This was my brother Wayne's favorite song, and he introduced our family to Simon and Garfunkel. Wayne played the album over and over on my stereo.

I just found these guys this morning. I want to thank God for their talent and for them sharing it with us.

[@Trini2DeBone]

Listen to them singing the Ave Maria in a stairwell. You'll be blown away.

[@cynthiahusband106]

These 4 extremely talented gentleman are pure magic they can sing a song making it sheer perfection. What gorgeous voices my word , they are blessed to sing and bring beauty into this troubled world.

[@Stephanie-rf9xs]

This was my sister’s favorite song when we were children. She and I listened to this song daily so I instantly recalled all of the words! I have NEVER heard a better rendition of this beautiful song! Kings made it extraordinary beautiful! My sister is in heaven now, but I know she would enjoy your music as much a I do! Your version brought tears of joy to me!

[@KingsReturnMusic]

This was so touching. Thank you!

[@Toussaint7]

Beautiful Testimony❤

[@JaredHalleyMusic]

[@KingsReturnMusic]

Thank you!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾

One of my favorite songs ever. A little history. I was 16 the year it came out, I had just had my physical for the draft. I was 1-A. The Vietnam war was raging. The lottery had been established and we stared at the TV while our fates were drawn. I waited, and waited... and waited. Out of 366, mine was 328. I would never be called, ever. Fate said that I would live to go to my friend's funerals. I joined the peace movement. Through all of this, "Bridge Over Troubled Water" played on the radio, our record players, in classes at school, everywhere. I played it on paino at every gig. It represented a peace in our souls, a willingness to selflessly love our neighbor. I can't extricate this song from my life. We grew up together. For folks my age this song runs very deep in us. You guys did a nice arrangement. Thanks for treating it with respect.

[@dnadiva1586]

So beautifully and eloquently stated. Thank you for sharing

[@pogopiratepete]

i was about to say the same thing.... so poinant... music has so much power.... it can not be overstated... music can move mountains.... Gods gift to man, if you ask me.... and when executed like this.... truly uplifting!

[@lelandunruh7896]

How this doesn't have a million views is a question for the ages.

[@user-sn8fw9go2m]

Such pristine harmony, absolutely Heavenly

[@amymalina5073]

The vocal arrangement is just exquisite. A masterpiece

[@plenituderecords6031]

How do they not have more views? They are phenomenal.

[@JohnSBoyer]

The arrangements, the vocal talent, the musicianship, puts them in a class alone.

SHALOM SIMON GARFUNKEL AND ARETHA WOULD BE AMAZED AS I AM NOW. BEAUTIFUL HARMONY!!🤎🤎

[@JESUSKINGOFGLORY493]

God is too faithful to fail. I became a widow just few months after my wedding in 2014 at the age of 26.I cried and asked God questions for some years but still held onto him trusting him for the best for my life. 7yrs after 2021,He restored me by blessing me with a good husband and just a month into my marriage, he gave me conception with twins who are 1+ now. U do this one💃💃💃

[@Night4Cookie]

😲 Hamonization is MINDBLOWING! I'm still trying to untangle my ears! Bravo!

[@opheliahamlet3508]

What incredible control! As much as I love the Simon and Garfunkle I love this more. Well done guys, and God bless

[@toshikoroberts8023]

I swear it sounds like instrumentals somewhere in that beautiful song ☝🏽

[@marshallowns]

One of the best bass voices in the game

[@stephanielatorre4164]

the man in the middle is doing the beat parts too. :)

[@rialucia80]

Beautifully done! How do you guys not have over 1 million subscribers yet?!

[@ajcarr1965]

They'll make it to a million if everyone shares their videos. Let's get the word out! 👍

[@gigistar649]

Masterful rendition. Enjoyed this so much! Share these guys with your friends. Look forward to a concert one day!

[@MF-xp9tq]

Do you think you could sing "Baba Yetu?" One of my all time favorite songs. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us.

[@markfilippone3845]

By Dearest Brothers in The LORD Our GOD: On earth as it is in Heaven. I only first heard You a couple of days ago. Without even giving it a second thought I “loved bombed” your You Tube links for Ave Maria, Our FATHER, Bridge and others to the multiple dozens of friends and colleagues associates and even to folk who are known to hate me. I have literally spent HOURS tapping in these KZbin links. I am almost 76 years of age and in my entire life I have never heard/experienced/or have been so overwhelmed with joy and the total fulfillment of GOD’s of the greatest of all of HIS creations here on our present earth. And it is most strange that the old line from Monty Python’s old 1975 movie came to mind: “excuse me, but I’m not quite dead yet”! In truth your Music production in its human perfection and the perfection; and brilliance of the literally Heavenly music’s SATB arrangements and the timbre and the pitch perfect ethereal qualities of your voices is literally out of this Earthly! Your literally transport me to Heaven although once again - l’m not quite dead yet! May the LORD our GOD bless you and keep you; Make the LORD make HIS face to shine upon and to be gracious upon you; May The LORD lift up HIS Continence upon you, and give you HIS peace. HIS Shalom; That which this broken and shattered world cannot give! Now and unto the Olam HaBa! Amen. Thank you!

[@elvinlackey2999]

HALLELUJAH THIS IS AMAZING (side note: bro kinda look like Devin Morrison lol)

[@KingsReturnMusic]

Thank you!! 🙏🏾

[@matthewjoseph6546]

One of the best renditions of this song i've ever heard

[@NormaJones-gq8wt]

Classical smooth and jazzy 🙌🏿🙌🏿❤

[@kimduncan9563]

Halfway through I was 😁and 😢 at the same time . AAA mazing voices.... medley's.... sound. Go get ur flowers gentleman ...and thank you for blessing my ears this morning. Much 🥰 to you all. Can't wait for more music from your group. ❤

[@AdamBurstein]

I’m so glad I found you on KZbin. You guys are phenomenal!

[@diannalaubenberg7532]

I almost didn't recognize you guys without the stairwell!

[@Trini2DeBone]

Guys, that sounded like classic Barbershop Harmony. You guys should compete there.

[@laurabuttery6401]

Once again, I am mesmerized by the passion and purity of your singing. Thank you for another beautiful performance. BTW, we often listen to your " Ave Maria" rendition at our Sunday evening worship gatherings, so thank you for that beautiful performance as well.✝️

[@reginaschellhaas1395]

Their "Ave Maria" is just wonderful! If I have the choice, I would like their version to be played at my funeral. So glad you and others are hearing it at Sunday worship, a blessing to all! Their versions of "Amazing Grace" and "Shall We Gather at the River", plus "Ubi Caritas" are also wonderfully appropriate for worship services. Make a joyful noise unto the Lord....Kindest regards to you, Laura.

[@rosshuntersinger]

These arrangements make Pentatonix and Voice Play sound bang average. Absolutely sensational.

[@markbenjamin6939]

Right? And Pentatonix is amazing.... These guys have set the bar way higher. Best Acapella I've ever heard in my life. All the way around 11 out of 10

[@reginaschellhaas1395]

This is a marvelous and skillful version of this beautiful song. So heartfelt and touching! Thank you all, so very much!

[@beachthor1]

Unbelievable

[@brendamarshall8412]

Tejas! Your support means the world! Thank you!!!

[@amparomejala5164]

Amazing voices!

[@eleventhoperator]

Such a masterpiece, you guys are amazing.

[@MusicAndMaggie]

This has been one of my favorite S&G songs since childhood, and your rendition is simply stunning. The high tenor on the last verse, the crescendo into the final chorus, all of the different ways you played along the melody and harmonies, just transcendent.

[@lauriyoung9780]

3:35. ❤😭🤯 fabulous!

[@LynnT39]

You guys sung that so beautifully. I was so touched. 🥹😢

[@RCisbel]

Fabulous!!!

[@geoffcline9593]

incroyable!!! merci beaucoup.

[@lynlockrey7372]

Brilliant and beautiful acapalla harmony. Great song with a special message and beautifully presented. So from the heart. Just a thought about the auto captions which have anumber of gaps. Not hard to fix so the deaf and hard of hearing have access to the great lyrics most heat. God bless. Lyn Lockrey, Australia.

[@Brian-vd1uz]

I will stand up in my living room right now and applaud by myself. 😂 So good!

[@janiekcarney5482]

[@ChuckAdkinsMusic]

Wow!! Fantastic

[@ohillary]

The first time I heard you guys I was blown away by your vocals and arrangements. I bought your Christmas "EP" and have loved all your performances as they are stellar. I don't know how you do it, but this is even better. Stunning. Bravo.

[@flapjackluvr]

So beautiful.

[@Catmandude]

You guys should have a school of harmony or something. A place where the youth (or anyone) can learn a fraction of what your talent(s) hold. Plant the seeds and watch/listen to the beautiful garden grow. There is way too much ugly in the world today. Replace as much as you can with beauty, and you will make the world a better place.

[@needaladyfriend1]

Wow. Unbelievable talent. I often search for acapella covers of my favorite songs, and I’m so glad to have come across you guys. Your voice control, pitch, tightness, and fluidity is absolutely stunning!

[@karlforster4907]

[@severtone263]

Beautiful beyond words!

[@rmuller366]

Magnificent! Chills and tears. When a group chooses an S&G song, they better get it right, and by God you all have done just that. This is lyrically one of the most beautiful songs (Psalm, really) ever written. It deserves every good it has ever received, and you all came through as usual KR. God bless your ministry and your gift. Blessings to you and to the whole world!

[@heidiguevara8293]

Just beautiful!
