@Inmypumps You're welcome, but I must point out that this is not the actual performance that was a hit single for Gladys. This is from about five years later.

Gladys is as beautiful as this song that she sings so well.

PURE. TALENT.

JUST MISSED!!! "The Way We Were/Try To Remember" just missed making the Billboard's Top 10 chart; it peaked at No. 11 and spent a total of 17 weeks in the Top 100 in 1975!!!

I remember how much I love the Barbra Streisand version (the original) of this song, but Gladys' version touches me in a way like NO ONE ELSE...This is a great song, but Gladys' performances really makes me reflect, and the emotions come forth. No pretense, no acting, no drama...just pure emotion!!

No one does it better - or ever has!

This is the soulful version.

Gladys is very elegant, classy and beautiful!!!

Considering I was born after this was performed I know this saong brings goose bumps, alot of songs these days don't have this effect.
