El Condor Pasa (If I Could) SIMON & GARFUNKEL (with lyrics)

Paul Simon first heard this tune in 1965 performed by South American band, Los Incas. He asked for permission to use the tune and he added his own lyrics for the 1970 Simon & Garfunkel album, “Bridge Over Troubled Water“ The result is a track with Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel singing above the backing provided by Los Incas. It also resulted in a complicated (but actually very friendly) lawsuit brought by the son of the original composer.
