[PAR] [TLE] Memory (song) [SEP] "Memory", often incorrectly called "Memories", is a show tune from the 1981 musical "Cats".  It is sung by the character Grizabella, a one-time glamour cat who is now only a shell of her former self.  The song is a nostalgic remembrance of her glorious past and a declaration of her wish to start a new life.  Sung briefly in the first act and in full near the end of the show, "Memory" is the climax of the musical, and by far its most popular and well-known song.  Elaine Paige originated the role of Grizabella in the West End production of "Cats", the first to publicly perform the song on stage and bringing attention to its writers Andrew Lloyd Webber and Trevor Nunn, who received the 1981 Ivor Novello award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically. [PAR] [TLE] Live (Johnny Mathis album) [SEP] Live is a live album by American pop singer Johnny Mathis that was released in October 1984 by Columbia Records and includes performances of some of his classics ("Misty", "The Twelfth of Never", "Chances Are"), songs from recent albums ("Begin the Beguine", "Memory", "Orange Colored Sky"), and three selections that have never appeared on a Mathis studio album ("I Believe in Love", "Fly Away", "Try to Win a Friend").
