NEW YORK (Reunion) Sail on, silver girl! Reunion recording artist Michael W. Smith is putting his spin on an old classic, Simon & Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water," the latest single from Smith's best-selling CD "Healing Rain." The track drops at multiple radio formats next month.

Said Smith, "This is one of those songs everyone knows and loves, yet I felt I had to try my own interpretation. The song may be over 30 years old, but its message of peace and friendship rings true today. I hope I did Simon and Garfunkel proud."

Smith's "Healing Rain" debuted at #11 on Billboard's Top 200, while the title track rose to #1 on Radio & Records A/C charts. In addition, Michael just started production on his first leading role in a feature film, "The Second Chance," which is due to release later this year. He is also scheduled to embark on a national headlining tour in spring.

West Virginia native Michael W. Smith is one of the most successful artists in Contemporary Christian music. He's tallied 29 #1 singles, 13 Gold and five Platinum albums, over 40 Dove Awards and three Grammy Awards. Sales of his 18 studio albums account have topped 10 million. Smith is also a label owner, having formed his own Rocketown Records imprint in 1996.
