Best Answer

Elvis recorded it first. On the very first released recording Art Garfunkle sang the lead, though Simon joins him in the third verse. The demo version with only Paul Simon was later released. So Paul Simon sang it first, but Elvis recording was released before Paul's but later than the Garfunkle version.

When did Paul Simon write 'Bridge over Troubled Waters'?

Paul Simon wrote the song in the summer of 1969 while Art Garfunkel was busy filming Catch-22. Simon brought the song into the studio to record but it only had two verses. He and producer, Roy Halee, felt the song needed a third verse. Simon wrote the third verse in the studio, but never felt it blended well with the first two verses.
