    In the musical, the cats have gathered together to choose one cat to get the prize of a new life. Every cat thinks that they are the only one worthy, and that the old cat isn’t worthy because of her age and undignified appearance. All she has left are her memories, nothing current to live for, her night is ending, the new day will be her last. But her song so moves the other cats that they all choose to award her with the prize, a new beginning. Her new day has truly begun.

    Barbra sang so many different genres during her careeer, including this semi-operatic Andrew Lloyd Webber tune. She sparked disco fire with Donna Summer on "No More Tears (Enough is Enough)", growled to a rock undercurrent on "Prisoner", and joined Barry Gibb in making some glittering pop magic with "Guilty". Jazz standards, the Great American Song Book, R&B, gospel, country, and classical. She's joined over 45 other artists on duets. She still stands as the only recording artists to have #1 albums in six consecutive decades.

    Probably my favourite performance of Barbra's was her singing The Way We Were at the Oscars the year that her long time, multi Oscar winning collaborator Marvin Hamlish died.
    They both worked together for decades and were very close friends. I can't watch it without WEEPING!
    And it's already an emotional song from that movie with her and Robert Redford 😭
    She also did a duet album a few years ago featuring duets with variety of actors... Some of who one would not think has such good voices, some not a surprise at all. Most of the duets are songs from musicals.
    She does duets with Antonio Banderas, Hugh Jackman, Chris Pine, Seth MacFarlane, Jamie Foxx (they frikking do Climb Every Moutain from The Sound of Music... It's INCREDIBLE), Melissa McCarthy, one with Anne Hathaway and Daisey Ridley, one with Patrick Wilson... It's such a good duet album 🥰

    In fact, the 'memory' is you holding onto the moment. Because all we ever remember is the moment, the glimpses of that day 20 years ago, 50 years ago, and there is joy in embracing that it is yours to keep, and only yours.

    I remember watching an interview with Elaine Page ,who played the part in the stage production of the character that sings this song, and she said that the power needed to sing this required her to do voice exercises before belting this song out because if she didn't she could blow he voice box. You've just watched the incomparable Barbara Streisand sing it with such ease, what a voice.

Such a unique, elegant and powerful voice. Check out her version of "Somewhere" when you have time.

    This song was recorded by Barbra Streisand in 1981 for the album ‘Memories’ and was sung by her in the 1983 movie ‘Yentl’. It was written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Trevor Nunn for the musical ‘CATS’ but I’m not sure about who recorded it first because the musical and the album were produced in the same year.

    The storyline of Cats is about a tribe of cats called the Jellicles who can make the choice of who can ascend to the Heavyside Layer and gain a new life. The part Barbra is singing is that of a very old cat hoping she will be chosen to have a whole new life. At the end of the play, she is chosen. It's a rather fun and interesting play and very well done. You might want to watch it soon.

    You really need to do much more Barbra Streisand. I love your reactions, but you don’t do a lot of the songs that others do that I think you would really like. The real huge classics of the late 20th century.
    “Memory” is a very famous song and probably more famous than even the longest running Broadway play from which comes, Cats.
    Barbra did her Broadway album where she just covered many different huge Broadway hits and this was one of them. Another one was “Somewhere” from West Side Story.

      I’m not necessarily saying the exact same songs although that tends to have a lot. Still from your personality and appreciation I think you would be perfect for all those songs from Carpenters and Simon & Garfunkel, the Bee Gees and and Cat Stevens, etc.
      I’m talking about supergroups or artists that are so amazing and legendary that people of all ages, genders, races and nationalities look back and really enjoy. People who you think would have completely different tastes in music.

    I grew up in NYC and have loved Barbra since I was 15 like 1962 when I heard her very first album. I saw Funny Girl 15 times on Broadway at the Winter Garden. OK saying that I feel free to say this is probably my least favorite song of hers. Very histrionic, typical Andrew Lloyd Weber. Barbra recorded other songs by him all better ones than this but none among my favorites for sure.
    On top of that, these dated music videos are so stale and can't compare with LIVE Barbra performances. Come on guys, search out some incredible performances like::

    Honestly, you haven't missed anything by not seeing CATS. The only song anyone knows from this musical is Memory. BTW Barry Manilow does a good version of the song also. There are some good acrobatics in the play, but overall, I didn't think it was worth seeing.

      I heard similar sentiments from other people. Definitely want to hear some other versions of this song as well.
      Thanks for watching.

    Album version 1000 times better though. The sound quality is terrible in this.

    Love the song, hated the play/movie; I don’t even think the song has any meaning to the play, just my opinion! So many artists have sung this song, I’m sure you’ve heard it before
