    Great song! Barbra Streisand is one of the true mega stars. She has spanned over 6 decades of music. This lady has a fabulous voice & can sing many genres of music. She is a singer, actress & filmmaker & one of the few performers to have received awards in multiple fields of entertainment (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar & Tony). Love the musicals she was in especially "Funny Girl" & "Hello Dolly". She has so many great songs that were hits & she has done numerous duets with famous people.

    One reason Barbra has endured is that she never gives less than her all when singing, no matter what the genre of music. When she commits to a song, she goes full out, whether it's something dramatic like "Memory" or fun like "The Main Event."

    Song is from the musical "Cats", by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Trevor Nunn. Arguably one of the most over-recorded songs ever, La Streisand elevates it - as she does everything she sings - and makes it new. There's a reason she's an icon - your smile says it all! Give a watch to any of her movies also, she's one hell of an actor.

    This song was originally written for a musical called "Cats" (1981) where all actors play different cats dressed as cats. "Memory" is sung by an old cat ("Grizabella") that remembers her glamorous days as a young and beautiful cat and now waits for one last new dawn to come for her. In the original version Elaine Paige sings the part of "Grizabella".
    Barbra Streisand sings it more from a human's perspective as we can see in the video.
    I like both versions.
    In our school choir we sang this song, too. But I think you can forget about that. 😸

Re Barbra, if I could’ve accomplished 3% in my life that she’s accomplished, I’d feel successful. She’s first a virtuoso vocalist, then actor, director, producer, and composer. She’s also been married to actor James Brolin for many years. What a talent, what greatness-it’s been an honor to live in her time

    She is singing a song from the famous play called Cats. The play debuted in 1981. I think the actress Elaine Paige was the first to sing it on stage. The character sings about her prime, her youth, a happier past, and how it’s all a memory. She urges the other cats to rid her loneliness and to let her feel accepted once again-to be happy.

    Trivia. The track is part of a collection called "Memories" which released in November 1981. As a single, it was not a commercial success as it was very somber for pop radio. "Memory" is from the Broadway show "Cats" that did not open until ca a year after this album came out. After the show opened, the "Memories" album returned to the Billboard album charts for another 69 weeks based on the buzz of this performance.

    Oh, Steven! It's been so long since I've watched and listened to Barbra sing! Sitting here hearing her voice once again, I immediately got chills all over, and started crying (happy tears). Delicious! I don't react that way to huge numbers of singers, but there are a few. Dan Vasc is one of them. Tim Foust is another. Then there's Avi Kaplan. Joan Baez. Helen Reddy. Anne Murray. Keith Green. Harry Belafonte. Elvis Presley. Pat Boone. Tom Jones. (Little) Peggy March. Glen Campbell. Marty Robbins. Ernie Ford. There have been others here and there, but those are the biggies that hit me right away.
    Barbra...just WOW! OK...back to listening...
    This song ("Memory" -- written by Andrew Lloyd Webber, T.S. Eliot and Trevor Nunn was first performed by Elaine Paige in 1981). Barbra's cover of it was released on November 10, 1981. Before that, she had sung the song "The Way We Were," which was released on September 27, 1973. It too (more than this one, actually) features the way old memories color our lives. It's a GORGEOUS song, which was the theme song for the movie of the same name. I hope you'll search it out and react to it sometime, also.
    NOTE: I've looked down through the comments before mine, and I see that at least one person has mentioned that Barbra's career took a big hit, later in her life. I won't go into why, but I would suggest just simply enjoying her wonderful music, and leaving it at that.
    Thank you for the great reaction, Steven. GRANDMA HUGS!

    The song "Memories" was written by Marvin Hamlisch and Alan & Marilyn Bergman and earned a 1973 Golden Globe for Best Original Song, a 1974 Oscar for Best Original Song and then a Grammy. She has been in quite a few movies but watching some of them would intrude on your reaction channel as she sings a lot of songs, but not all of her films were like that. For a good comedy film, catch Barbara Streisand in "What's Up, Doc?"

      Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, lyrics by Trevor Nunn based on TS Eliot. You're thinking of "The Way We Were."

      I watched What’s up doc not long ago. It’s really holds up for 70 movie. Ryan O’Neal and great cast of characters. It’s her best comedy movie. And she sings while on top of piano with her long hair flowing around her.Gorgeous!!One of the biggest stars of our time

    Wonderful singer/performer. She does a disco song with Donna Summer called Enough is Enough. She sings the longest note I’ve ever heard. Worth checking out.

      I was lucky enough to see the original Broadway cast of Cats back on a trip to NYC when I was 17. At the time I only knew Betty Buckley from Eight is Enough. Her Grizabella was absolutely heartbreaking, and by the end of this song I was amazed, and in tears. I turned to my sister, who was also crying, and said "Oh my GAWD, Abby from Eight is Enough made me cry!"

    Never have heard a bad song from her.
    With One More Look At You is an epic song (can't believe I forgot that) and Evergrern from A Star is Born and of course The Way We Were from movie of same title are almost perfect. Seriously gorgeous.

    This is only one of her hundreds of songs that are so amazing and this song is from the play "Cats". In the darkness is the orchestra, which she only records with a full orchestra at all times. Starting out performing in musicals led her to always sign as if she is signing from a play and taking you through the emotions, which is how she sings all of her songs. She has over 100 albums.
