Bridge over Troubled Water (Peggy Lee album)

Bridge Over Troubled Water is a 1970 album by Peggy Lee.

Chart performance

The album debuted on Billboard magazine's Top LP's chart in the issue dated June 6, 1970, peaking at No. 142 during a nine-week run on the chart.

Reception

Lindsay Planer on AllMusic stated that "Overwhelmingly better suited to the artist are the show tunes 'You'll Remember Me,' with which Lee scored an easy listening chart hit; the closer, 'What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life,' and the solitary selection from the Great White Way, 'I See Your Face Before Me.' Unquestionably it is the dark, ominous, and appropriately titled "Something Strange" that stands as Lee's signature tune from this effort."

Bridge over Troubled Water was a Billboard "Pop Pick", with the magazine saying "The unique performer tops herself again with this dynamite, commercial package destined for a big chart item." Adding that "Her superb reading of 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' is in a class by itself."
