This is vocal perfection. For pure voice and musicality, this is my favorite. No one can touch Barbra. For live performance, Betty Buckley’s Broadway performance stands alone for evoking the dignity, tragedy and emotion of the character. Two perfect performances.
Midnight, not a sound from the pavement Has the moon lost her memory? She is smiling alone In the lamplight, the withered leaves collect at my feet And the wind begins to moan Memory, all alone in the moonlight I can dream of the old days Life was beautiful then I remember the time I knew what happiness was Let the memory live again Every street lamp seems to beat A fatalistic warning Someone mutters and the street lamp sputters And soon it will be morning Daylight, I must wait for the sunrise I must think of a new life And I mustn't give in When the dawn comes, tonight will be a memory too And a new day will begin Burnt out ends of smoky days The stale, cold smell of morning A street lamp dies, another night is over Another day is dawning Touch me, it's so easy to leave me All alone with the memory Of my days in the sun If you touch me, you'll understand what happiness is Look, a new day has begun
Disagree. While Betty Buckley's singing is technically superior, Elaine Paige's performance is unmatched when it comes to conveying the essence of the character. Just watch the scene where she scrambles to her feet and demands to be touched in song, and the small smile when she is. Subtlety and pathos.
Barbara Streisand is the music. An entire lifetime of entertaining her generation. She didn’t fit the mold. She created it. As a new day rises we are reminded of renewed. ❤
Some of the best lyrics ever written. They affect every single one of us, sooner or later.."if you touch me, you'll understand what happiness is..." WHAT A STATEMENT!!!!
My 84 yr old mother is dying. She had a stroke last week. She LOVES Barbara! So do I! She played her albums while we were growing up. Such beauty, such love from the most wonderful mother in the world!! I love you Mom, I always will! 😂
Streisand’s voice is haunting perfection. She makes the hairs on your neck stand up. The last note is especially sublime, it fades out to blend with the instrumentation..just melts away. Listening to this song is an ethereal experience.
@@erfguuipo8084 while you are entitled to your opinion, you don’t know sh*t about music otherwise you wouldn’t make this ridiculous comparison. Whitney had a voice, yes, but she was a popsinger! Barbra has never been a popsinger nor will she ever be! Where Whitney went drama always followed accompanied with booze and drugs. Barbara outranks everyone including your beloved Whitney. She outranks them on sheer class, health and talent! Barbara never needed booze or drugs to get up and do her thing. While Babs is in a league of her very own, and a lot of the time also had been frightened about performing, Whitney grew up in the churchchoir and went on into the hard society that’s known as the so-called music business, where they made you or broke you, make you into a sex symbol all the while where they earn the big bucks and “leave you with pennies”. That never happened to Barbra because SHE had the right people around her!
I Love Barbara Streisand's voice. It's so heartwarming and soothing. Barbara Streisand is a timeless woman. Her voice resonates within my Soul and Body. I Love her ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
Glorious voice! While I don't listen to Barbra Streisand's singing every day (mostly listen to male vocalists), I've long been of the opinion that this lady has the best singing voice of anyone I've ever heard. This song as heard and seen on this UA-cam audio-video track, is without peer of proof of Barbra's unique ability as a one-of-a-kind vocalist. Thank you, Ms. Streisand! Andy McKane, 5 August 2023, Maunaloa, Hawaii.
Barbra Streisand has the loveliest and sweetest voice of all time. When a singer can bring tears to your eyes, they have done their job in full and beyond. BRAVO!! BRAVO!!
I’ve no idea what you are talking about. Is this Goose a household name as Barbara was in the 70s and 80s? I doubt it. Does “bringing us back to this beautiful masterpiece” earn the Goose the affection of the general public? Bringing “us” back? You probably weren’t even born back then. It’s just typical of today’s… celebrities, having not the discipline to churn out their own ideas, that they want to grab the coat-tails of the great and the good, to try to haul them back down to their level. Sad, sad, sad, sad!
Barbara Streisand was my idol in the early 70's, she sings with passion, emotion and feelings she is one of the best singer in world she is beautiful and has a beautiful voice God bless you and thank you for the video cheers
Doesn't matter how many times I've heard this masterpiece. Yet, every single time, when she starts singing -"Touch me, it's so easy to leave me...." part, I get chills and deep goosebumps!! Just an outstanding, an UNFORGETTABLE performance from her ❤️!!!👍🌹
Thank you Barbra, I lost my mother back in July and it has just been so so hard for me since now my entire family has left me behind. I'm 47 and feel so alone and lost but trying my best to not give in. This song has hit my heart and your voice just melts my soul thank you for this! 🥰
your never alone while you got your memories lost my mum 21 years ago next January , this song just reminds me of her on holiday's in Benidorm, great times and a lovly song thanks Barbra x
No one is ever really alone. Losing a parent is one of the most heartbreaking things. I had to watch a friend of mine go through the pain of losing Her mother and she too felt lost for a time, but she knew her Mum would never want her to be unhappy and I don't think your mum would want you to be unhappy either. Live on with those loving memories my friend and try and make great new ones while you can. I hope you find that peace you're looking for one day 😊
I first heard this song when I was a young boy, around 9-10 perhaps. I’m now 55 and as in awe as the first time I heard it. It’s vocal perfection from one of the greatest singers EVER! I love you Barbara!!! God Bless
The most exquisite voice … she has such a gift that she has shared with us for 6 decades! I will be eternally fascinated and fulfilled listening to her sing💕
My grandma died recently, and she had a music box that would open and play this song. Heard the lyrics for the first time today. I can't stop listening. I miss her so much.
It's not just the fantastic voice or the beautiful song, it's the way she becomes the song. Her body is in the music as much as her voice is. I've watched this video several time just to enjoy how she performs it.
Yes, that's a good way of saying it. I never could put a finger on it. She lives whatever she is singing. But it's real, you know? It's not put on in a fake, dramatic way. (Even when she's performing in a movie.) That's why you can't take your eyes off her and your guts feel like they're being turned inside out. The word, "gifted", is so overused. But she truly was.
I love this song so much and I love her voice even more. Happy 82nd to our favorite singers’ inspiration, to the incomparable, iconic, and to one of the greatest singers of all time, Barbra Streisand! ❤🥳🎉🎊4/24/2024
No singer has better control or understanding of their instrument than Barbra Streisand. Truly unique among performers. I love all kinds of music and performers but I always come back to Ms. Streisand. What an amazing musical career, in range of styles of music, longevity, universal appeal; and that doesn't even touch on her film career. I hope she directs again. If you've never seen Yentl, put it on your "must" list. This was her directorial debut. It is executed with the same precision with which she sings. Simply amazing.
Yes! Please put every Barbra Streisand movie, song and show on your list. The Movie, Funny Girl and Barbra burst onto the film scene when I was barely ten. Ms. Streisand and I grew up together. I was a Funny Girl and my nose had character but I could not sing. On a Clear Day, she helped me see the Forever. Clearly, Ms Streisand was someone special in another life and was Himself the Brolin with her? When her Hubbell said, "It was never not complicated, Katie"...I understood The Way We Were. I hope Barbra and I have many more songs and years together. Thank you for the memories and songs of my past, present, and hopeful future.
@Andrew Ongais Yes, I have seen Lisa Fischer and she is remarkable. www.thesmithcenter.com/blog/why-youre-already-a-fan-of-lisa-fischer-or-should-be/ I did not know Eva Cassidy and I am sorry that I missed her now that she is Somewhere over the Rainbow. ua-cam.com/video/2rd8VktT8xY/v-deo.html Remarkable voices, remarkable women.
@Andrew Ongais I appreciate the information but not the attitude. "Do your homework"?? Don't be a turd--that's your homework. Now that I know I've been listening to Lisa Fischer in the background for decades, I'll surely give her solo efforts a listen. Cheers.
I don't know why, out of the blue, I woke up with this song playing in my head. And it's my 50th birthday. I think God is trying to tell me something 🤗
I’m only 29. I recently got into Barbara hearing her studio live cover of Make A Garden Grow & was blown away. Her voice is like a powerful velvet rope it’s hard to put into words.
Her voice is so sweet and powerfull that I get immediately emotional and touched. The melody lifts you up and it feels you fly out of this time and go back to the happines in the early days.
Perfection. When she sings the last line, "Look, a new day has begun" and she sings the word "begun" on a high note to end the song is simply magical. It just seamlessly blends in with the music and just sounds ethereal like another world. No other version that I could find on UA-cam, even the ones showing Broadway performances by Elaine Page or the new version by Jennifer Hudson does this. They end the note low. All amazing singers but this version by Barbara Streisand just takes it to the next level with that note.
mn ht she is the only one in history to pull that off , that high note is a pianissimo note , professional singers know that you basically need to be born with that talent because there is not academic technique to help you to achieve that so .. Barbra is the only pop singers that I know able to do this kind of feat You have searched on UA-cam and no one does it , are you going to tell me that all those other singers don’t want to finish this amazing song with note ? Of course yes .. can they ? Of course not !!!
@@MrLuis85698 Wow! I had no idea. No wonder the other singers don't do it because they can't do it! And no wonder why I love Barbara's version so much. Thanks so much for the info!
mn ht they say it is a technique, but I know there is not technique in the world to hit notes in pianissimo (the voice needs to float in the air ) the same applies for the whistle register ( only few like Mariah Carey ) can pull those whistle notes , but as hard as a whistle note is , the pianissimo notes are even way rarer .. very seldom you hear those notes , you know in the men side who can do that often effortlessly: Andrea Bocelli , his last note with Celine Dion is a male pianissimo, he is a tenor it sounds heavier but you can tell he is placing the sound as if the sound floats softly in the air “ and those high soft notes require a golden breath control to about breaking off
Barbra Streisand is such a perfection❤️ A very talented singer, actress, concert and movie producer, concert and movie director, songwriter and a filmmaker👏👏👏
My mom passed at 52 in 1989 and I was only 24. She never got to see her granddaughter (she just turned 26) Barbara was her favorite. Hard to swallow and not cry every time I hear her sing. I miss you mom 💔
@@mikeking3507 Moms are special. Sorry for both your losses. Just 8 for mine, later this yr. We had a closeness/bond, not shared w/the other sibs. I miss her, but know I’ll be w/her in God’s glorious heaven, forevermore.🙌 Sooner, over later, w/the way things are headed now. Jesus is everyone’s Only Hope.✝️
I'm in my teen years when I first hear this song MEMORY!! I am 😊😊enamored since then That even at my Sr. yrs. I still loving this the most nostalgic song😊 Of my times!!!❤❤❤! Salamat! Ms.Streisand.. Nostalgic songs
Steve. The greatest female singer of all time and a voice that comes round every 100 years. She has no rival. When she was younger her friends called her The girl with the voice. How right they were. Simply stunning in every way.
Simone Simons from Epica did a beautiful intimate tribute of this for her Facebook audience on March 25th 2020 as a tribute to the dark nights we seem to be having lately. It was spectacular. Maybe not as spectacular as this one. But spectacular all the same.
Voix de l'Au Delà, un ange tombé du ciel, c'est une des plus belle chanson du monde, et Barbra est une lumière qui éclaire ma vie, j'ai 74 ans malade mais quand j'entends sa voix, tout devient lumineux, merci de nous avoir donné une telle voix, merveilleuse Barbra Nadine
I love how she spends her time, to break down each and every note, every musical sequence and puts them all together! Perfection of each and every second! Equals magnificent beauty! So is Barbra Streisand.
I love Barbara Streisand's voice more than anything with all my heart. Barbara, my star and a gem with a voice that touches and moves my heart, Barbara, I love your voice ❤️❤️
There has never been and there will never be another who surpasses Barbara. Her voice is one in a trillion. No opera star, no pop favorite, NO ONE has and ever will be superior to Barbara. The Gods reached down on the day she was born and declared a miracle was to take place. BARBARA
I took voice when I was in my teens but there were no opportunities for a kid from a small town. I would put in cassettes and sing along with Barbra while doing my housework and sing to my children. Her voice is so strong. I emulated every nuance of voice
I feel exactly the same way. This makes me feel so close to my daughter who passed away last December of Cancer. I miss her so so much. This song helps to ease the pain.
My husband's too. He passed last year 2021. 3 weeks after covid vax. He was so tall and fit. Ex army...he had a massive stroke. I do get some comfort from the music he loved.
I have never been a musical person but there is something wonderful when she sings. I have always loved her personality and how it flows with every lyric she sings. She is just a beautiful person who makes you feel better inside. Thank You!
@@julitaal-haddad8584 She didn't. Elaine Page originated it when she was the very first Grizabella in Cats from 1981-1982 in the West End. This is a cover.
Many decades ago, I first heard Betty Buckley and Elaine Page sing this song. My immediate thought: I've got to hear Streisand sing this. It would take another decade or so before I would finally discover this recording. The wait was worth it.
The range. The perfect pitch. The expressiveness. When she graces heaven, angels will have to learn how to song all over again. Can you imagine her with Tony? Pavorrati? Fleming? Ella! Natalie Cole?
I love this song so much, it’s probably my favorite song of hers. Her voice is so so beautiful, amazing, and talented. She’s inspired so many singers. Happy 81st Birthday to one of the all-time greatest singers, Barbra Streisand! We love you forever! ❤❤🥳🎉🎊4/24/2023
This was my sister's favourite song befoe died at a young age in tragic circumstances. I love the song but cant help getting upset listening to it. Thankyou Barbara x
I fear that I only too well understand what your sister must have been going through. A memory is like a double edged sword, bringing safety and comfort at times, yet at other juntures in time complete destruction.
@Layton T. Montgomery im sure African Americans and other people of color had fun too. Not as much as white people yes. But blues hip hop and other beautiful thing came form them as well and its quite enjoyable to listen and appreciate even years later.
A wonderful song performed by the ultimate female artist of her generation. I have been fortunate to grow up through the eras of amazing music and outstanding performers. It has been a fantastic journey for me, and being able to listen to such a consumate professional whose voice and amazing personality flows through ages has made that journey so memorable...
This is vocal perfection. For pure voice and musicality, this is my favorite. No one can touch Barbra. For live performance, Betty Buckley’s Broadway performance stands alone for evoking the dignity, tragedy and emotion of the character. Two perfect performances.
Божественная,хоть и на русском.у меня тоже есть душа.и ничуть не меньше твоей.
Midnight, not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory?
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight, the withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan
Memory, all alone in the moonlight
I can dream of the old days
Life was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again
Every street lamp seems to beat
A fatalistic warning
Someone mutters and the street lamp sputters
And soon it will be morning
Daylight, I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I mustn't give in
When the dawn comes, tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin
Burnt out ends of smoky days
The stale, cold smell of morning
A street lamp dies, another night is over
Another day is dawning
Touch me, it's so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me, you'll understand what happiness is
Look, a new day has begun
Since you didn’t mention Elaine Paige, I can only assume you’ve never seen her live performance, available on UA-cam.
Disagree. While Betty Buckley's singing is technically superior, Elaine Paige's performance is unmatched when it comes to conveying the essence of the character.

So sorry for your loss. Such good memories of your mom. My mom passed from a stroke this June she was 93 years old.. ❤

Streisand’s voice is haunting perfection. She makes the hairs on your neck stand up. The last note is especially sublime, it fades out to blend with the instrumentation..just melts away. Listening to this song is an ethereal experience.
Perfect!!!!!! Totally Agree
yep, gave me goosebumps!
3:33 This is the most haunting perfection for me
For sheer artistry it's hard to beat Streisand.
I'm still blown away by Buckley' crescendo. Such power, dead-on pitch. Magnificent.
Barbra Streisand's voice has never been equaled or copied . She is that unique . A legend for all generations .
She's also a really good actress. Talent.
Whitney houston is heaps better. The best singer to ever walked this planet.

To me the best female singer I've heard
WHAT? have i got the right ears on? Or just too gullible to sarcasm?
The best version of Memory for me, Elaine Paige is so good, but Barbra takes me to another dimension 🥰
Barbra is just amazing, her strong and powerful voice is beautiful
This is the best version.
This song will always remind me of my Grandma. I lost her in March of this year. She was 94. She loved Barbara Streisand and this song.

Agree.
Agree!!!!
Her voice is so sweet and powerfull that I get immediately emotional and touched. The melody lifts you up and it feels you fly out of this time and go back to the happines in the early days.
No words can describe this perfection. Breathtaking voice.
I totally agree. I learned to play this song in the piano because of Barbara.
I never thought anyone could sing that better than Elaine Paige. But wow, of course, Barbara!!!
I love her voice so much!!!
Perfection. When she sings the last line, "Look, a new day has begun" and she sings the word "begun" on a high note to end the song is simply magical. It just seamlessly blends in with the music and just sounds ethereal like another world. No other version that I could find on UA-cam, even the ones showing Broadway performances by Elaine Page or the new version by Jennifer Hudson does this. They end the note low. All amazing singers but this version by Barbara Streisand just takes it to the next level with that note.
mn ht she is the only one in history to pull that off , that high note is a pianissimo note , professional singers know that you basically need to be born with that talent because there is not academic technique to help you to achieve that so .. Barbra is the only pop singers that I know able to do this kind of feat
You have searched on UA-cam and no one does it , are you going to tell me that all those other singers don’t want to finish this amazing song with note ? Of course yes .. can they ? Of course not !!!
@@MrLuis85698 Wow! I had no idea. No wonder the other singers don't do it because they can't do it! And no wonder why I love Barbara's version so much. Thanks so much for the info!
mn ht they say it is a technique, but I know there is not technique in the world to hit notes in pianissimo (the voice needs to float in the air ) the same applies for the whistle register ( only few like Mariah Carey ) can pull those whistle notes , but as hard as a whistle note is , the pianissimo notes are even way rarer .. very seldom you hear those notes , you know in the men side who can do that often effortlessly: Andrea Bocelli , his last note with Celine Dion is a male pianissimo, he is a tenor it sounds heavier but you can tell he is placing the sound as if the sound floats softly in the air “ and those high soft notes require a golden breath control to about breaking off
ITS LIKE THOUSANDS OF ANGELS CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN TO SING FOR US...
IN THE NEW CATS FILM

Barbra Streisand is such a perfection❤️ A very talented singer, actress, concert and movie producer, concert and movie director, songwriter and a filmmaker👏👏👏
My mum’s favourite singer was Barbra, we say our final goodbye this week to my mum.
Lots of Barbra will be played ❤
My mom passed at 52 in 1989 and I was only 24. She never got to see her granddaughter (she just turned 26) Barbara was her favorite. Hard to swallow and not cry every time I hear her sing. I miss you mom 💔
I'm right there with you... today marks 20 years for my mother.. so sorry for your loss
@@mikeking3507 Moms are special. Sorry for both your losses.
Just 8 for mine, later this yr.
We had a closeness/bond, not shared w/the other sibs.
I miss her, but know I’ll be w/her in God’s glorious heaven, forevermore.🙌
Sooner, over later, w/the way things are headed now.
Jesus is everyone’s Only Hope.✝️
you mom and barbara wants you not to cry girl;just embrace the magic :)
I'm in my teen years when I first hear this song MEMORY!! I am 😊😊enamored since then
That even at my Sr. yrs.
I still loving this the most nostalgic song😊
Of my times!!!❤❤❤!
Salamat! Ms.Streisand..
Nostalgic songs
I've always thought Barbra Streisand has one of the most beautiful voices in the world
Steve. The greatest female singer of all time and a voice that comes round every 100 years. She has no rival. When she was younger her friends called her The girl with the voice. How right they were. Simply stunning in every way.
@@andyhaslam9231 beautiful voice but behind Karen Carpenter and Kate Bush for me. Just my opinion though.
I agree
Simone Simons from Epica did a beautiful intimate tribute of this for her Facebook audience on March 25th 2020 as a tribute to the dark nights we seem to be having lately.
It was spectacular. Maybe not as spectacular as this one. But spectacular all the same.
C est une voix venue d ailleurs...
Наречена е "грозното патенце на Холивуд", но никой никога не може да сбърка невероятния и глас.
Бъдете благословенна госпожо Стрейзън.❤
барабонки!❤😂🎉
Ciao...da..by..gio...sss...primo...Milano...italy...ciao..
One of the greatest artists of our time. Beautiful rendition.
I don't think I have heard a song from Barbra Streisand that I disliked. Her voice is unmatched. Absolutely love her. 🙂❤
Voix de l'Au Delà, un ange tombé du ciel, c'est une des plus belle chanson du monde, et Barbra est une lumière qui éclaire ma vie, j'ai 74 ans malade mais quand j'entends sa voix, tout devient lumineux, merci de nous avoir donné une telle voix, merveilleuse Barbra Nadine
Um espetáculo!!!!!!
You do realize fallen angels are devils, right?
Выздоравливай бро. Привет из России
Barbara's voice is unique. No one can imitate her beautiful voice🎤. Love it 🎼🎵🎶🎧😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️
1:11 yes Someone is there, hoping and crying at the same time with this great artist
her voice range is stunning
If you are fortunate to be able to hear the sounds of the world, this voice is a gift to us all!💖💖💖💖
I agree with you. You sound like a music head, Do you have a playlist you could share with me containing more classics
The beautiful vocals Barbara Streisand have on song is unbelievable nobody can't do this song like she can its only one Barbara Streisand
Si chiama barbra
Pozdrawiam z Polski
Me too. I saw her when I was young and I know she would be a star 🌟. I am 81 now and I still love her voice.
This is such a timeless song...still listening in 2021
Same tho
Same here ms. Sheila sweetness😍😘💞.
I agree with you.
Me too.
Me too 🍁
The story is that she did this in one take. I believe it. Simply fabulous.

Es la más grande
Streisand in the song "Memory" makes a human being proud to be as such.
Supernatural masterpiece
Barbara, you have a celestial voice.
@Hello how are you doing
I love how she spends her time, to break down each and every note, every musical sequence and puts them all together! Perfection of each and every second! Equals magnificent beauty! So is Barbra Streisand.
That drop is like 'The Way We Were' this song was meant for Ms. Streisand❤
Well said...Streisand owns this song!
Ha please this song was made for Betty Buckley although Streisand sung it Beautifuly it always brings a tear to my eye
Agreed!
Agree!!!!
What a voice in 2024
Memories are so important
Barbara shares her stunning voice with us. And we remember when
Very nice comment to make. You were spot on with your assessment.
This was my mother’s favorite song. She passed on 1984 and I still cry every time I hear it
Hello how are you
I play this song virtually daily in remembrance of my wife's passing away, memories are forever!
Its beatiful xxxx
My Mum's song also god rest her soul.
❤
I’m sorry for your loss
Sad for your loss. Been there!
I love Barbara Streisand's voice more than anything with all my heart. Barbara, my star and a gem with a voice that touches and moves my heart, Barbara, I love your voice ❤️❤️
❤
Its weird listening to this during the coronavirus quarantine. Really melancholic for times before hardships. It’s just, it fits you know?
Alex We try to face each new day with some measure of optimism, but sometimes a touch of melancholy seeps in. Barbra touches my heart, especially now.
I just about to say that.
I agree. I am remembering my dad 💖
Pray we can come out of this nightmare
J B I’m aware, I’m not saying it’s about everything going on, I just think it gives me the same somber feeling.
She is the best. Beautiful voice, Monday morning during quarantine time she make me cry in here in Venezuela.
There has never been and there will never be another who surpasses Barbara. Her voice is one in a trillion. No opera star, no pop favorite, NO ONE has and ever will be superior to Barbara. The Gods reached down on the day she was born and declared a miracle was to take place. BARBARA
She hated the second" a " in her name
I took voice when I was in my teens but there were no opportunities for a kid from a small town. I would put in cassettes and sing along with Barbra while doing my housework and sing to my children. Her voice is so strong. I emulated every nuance of voice
this was one of my late wife and i's favourite songs of all time. it still brings tears to my eyes as i can feel her so near to me when it plays. rod
❤❤❤
Peace to you Rod
I feel exactly the same way. This makes me feel so close to my daughter who passed away last December of Cancer. I miss her so so much. This song helps to ease the pain.
❤️
My husband's too. He passed last year 2021. 3 weeks after covid vax. He was so tall and fit. Ex army...he had a massive stroke. I do get some comfort from the music he loved.
One of the best singers of all time
Сегодня мы есть, завтра - нет! Эта песня пройдет через века! Спасибо! Чудесная музыка, потрясающее исполнение!
Ich habe sie vor 40 Jahren im Kino gesehen. Diese Frau ist ein Multitalent. Schauspielerin, Sängerin. Einfach umwerfend ❤
I have never been a musical person but there is something wonderful when she sings. I have always loved her personality and how it flows with every lyric she sings. She is just a beautiful person who makes you feel better inside. Thank You!
her's is one of the greatest voices of the 20th century!

The voice. Absolutely incredible reach of scales, depth, intonation. Feeling.
21st century, is actually how its said
She is the best Debby boone too
Margaret you’re absolutely right
Fell in love with her when I was just a little boy. She has the most amazing eyes and the voice of an angel.
If you see this, please send your positive thoughts and prayers for my healing journey.
🙏🙏🙏
Best wishes to you hope all better soon 🎉
Today being alive is hope to me.
Prayers to you. God speed on your healing journey
Deus está no comando e ele vai te curar.🙏
How lucky we are to be able to hear this woman sing any time we want to!
OMG, Streisand is the queen of this song. i have never hear a better version!
She is the one who *made* it what did you expect
@@julitaal-haddad8584 She didn't. Elaine Page originated it when she was the very first Grizabella in Cats from 1981-1982 in the West End. This is a cover.
@@BlazeIgnitus she is originated it on stage for the musical..but it's this version that has made the song a worldwide HIT...we ear why!
Ever wonder why few women attempt to sing songs Barbra Streisand performs? Because they can't. Barbra is a rare talent.
Many decades ago, I first heard Betty Buckley and Elaine Page sing this song. My immediate thought: I've got to hear Streisand sing this. It would take another decade or so before I would finally discover this recording. The wait was worth it.
Непревзойденное гениальное исполнение шедевра! Браво,Барбара!!!!❤️
The Version is so good. Listening 2020 anyone?
Me
Me too! May 2020.

I'm listening in May 2020 in Mossel Bay South Africa. Always beautiful and full of memories. Inky Titus

I don’t think they will ever be another Barbra Streisand, Whitney Houston or Aretha Franklin. They are the best.
Piaf.
Karen Carpenter
@@jebediahkerman3946 She could play the drums too. Unfortunately, anorexia took her too early.
Olivia Newton John.
There will be!
Still stunning. I remember the first time I heard this recording. The exact moment. Just breathtaking.
she is and will always be in a league of her own. i love newer music but this is still an absolute gem
Такие люди рождаются раз в 100 лет. Талант!!!!!!👑❤️👏👏👏
Without a doubt one of the most beautiful singing voices of all time. Barbara Streisand thankyou for sharing your amazing gifted voice❤
Thank you for existing Barbra, you're a gift from the nature for all of us.
That voice. Amazing.
I'd almost forgotten what a spectacular talent this woman was ... is.
Her Tone/passion and colour of Voice is pretty much Unmatched up to this day
Try listening to Heather Headly's version.
The range. The perfect pitch. The expressiveness. When she graces heaven, angels will have to learn how to song all over again.
Can you imagine her with Tony? Pavorrati? Fleming? Ella! Natalie Cole?
I love this song so much, it’s probably my favorite song of hers. Her voice is so so beautiful, amazing, and talented. She’s inspired so many singers. Happy 81st Birthday to one of the all-time greatest singers, Barbra Streisand! We love you forever! ❤❤🥳🎉🎊4/24/2023
Is she the original singer ?
@@jacob45415No this is Memory, the emotional climax of the Musical 'Cats'
This was my sister's favourite song befoe died at a young age in tragic circumstances. I love the song but cant help getting upset listening to it. Thankyou Barbara x
I fear that I only too well understand what your sister must have been going through. A memory is like a double edged sword, bringing safety and comfort at times, yet at other juntures in time complete destruction.
This is the only song I've ever heard that brought a tear to my eye.
Look up the song "in the living years" can't remember the band.. Bring tissues
Still the best version of this song! Her voice is so pure.
Hello 👋🏼 Allie Anderson
@@karlgreat1661 hello Karl, how you doing? Stay safe my friend, god bless thee.
Totally agree ⚘
Check out Regine Velasquez' live cover on this Allie.... also very elegant and higher key

The old days were beautiful. And full of people with personality and character and products that were crafted by hand, full of heart and soul.
@Layton T. Montgomery im sure African Americans and other people of color had fun too. Not as much as white people yes. But blues hip hop and other beautiful thing came form them as well and its quite enjoyable to listen and appreciate even years later.
So great.
A wonderful song performed by the ultimate female artist of her generation. I have been fortunate to grow up through the eras of amazing music and outstanding performers. It has been a fantastic journey for me, and being able to listen to such a consumate professional whose voice and amazing personality flows through ages has made that journey so memorable...
