Description: I'm selling my personal record collection in preparation for moving. WatermarkStudio album by Art GarfunkelReleasedOctober 25, 1977 January 10, 1978 (reissue)Recorded1977StudioMuscle Shoals Sound Studios, AlabamaGenreSoft rockLength36:57LabelColumbiaProducerArt Garfunkel (except "Wonderful World" produced by Phil Ramone) Watermark is the third solo studio album by Art Garfunkel, originally released in October 1977 on Columbia Records. The first single, "Crying in My Sleep", failed to chart, but the follow-up, a version of "(What a) Wonderful World" (featuring harmony vocals from Garfunkel's old partner Paul Simon and mutual friend James Taylor) reached #17 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and #1 on the Adult Contemporary chart. The songs "Watermark" and "Paper Chase" had previously been performed by Richard Harris on his albums A Tramp Shining and The Yard Went On Forever. Watermark is also noted as being the final recording sessions of legendary saxophonist Paul Desmond who died of lung cancer shortly thereafter. Actress Laurie Bird, Garfunkel's girlfriend, made the album cover's photograph.[3] Some promotional copies of the single "Crying in My Sleep", released in advance of the album, referred to the album as Art Garfunkel, suggesting Garfunkel initially planned for the album to be self-titled.Track listingAll tracks composed by Jimmy Webb; except where indicatedSide one"Crying in My Sleep" – 4:06"Marionette" – 2:36"Shine It on Me" – 3:26"Watermark" – 2:59"Saturday Suit" – 3:16"All My Love's Laughter" – 3:56Side two"(What a) Wonderful World" (Herb Alpert, Sam Cooke, Lou Adler) – 3:32 (added to the January 1978 reissue, replacing the song "Fingerpaint")"Mr. Shuck'n Jive" – 4:48"Paper Chase" – 2:37"She Moved Through the Fair" (Traditional) – 2:45"Someone Else (1958)" – 2:19"Wooden Planes" – 3:13PersonnelArt Garfunkel – vocalsPaul Simon – acoustic guitar, Lead & background vocals on "(What a) Wonderful World"James Taylor - acoustic guitar, Lead & background vocals on "(What a) Wonderful World"Stephen Bishop – guitar, background vocalsDerek Bell – harmonicaCarol Flamm, Alexandra Stavrou, Ed Hasselbrink, Shelley Hirsch, Fred Farell, David Crosby, Bob Dorough, Leah Kunkel – background vocalsJay Clayton Voice Group - background vocalsPaul Desmond – alto saxophonePete Carr, Jimmy Johnson, Hugh McCracken – guitarTommy Vig – vibraphone, background vocalsRalph MacDonald, Tom Roady, Craig Krampf – percussionJimmy Webb – keyboardsBarry Beckett – pianoDavid Campbell – arrangerChristopher Dedrick – arrangerJoe Farrell – flute, English horn, oboeMartin Fay, Seán Keane – fiddleJimmie Haskell – arrangerRoger Hawkins, Steve Gadd, Rick Shlosser – drumsDavid Hood, Joe Osborn, Tony Levin – bass guitarThomas Latondre – percussion, handclapsPaddy Moloney – uilleann pipes, tin whistleOklahoma Uni Chorale – background vocalsBill Payne – synthesizerJack Schroer – saxophoneRichard Tee – piano, Fender RhodesMichael Tubridy – flute
