The soprano was married to one of its co-writers, Andrew Lloyd Webber, for six years. Sarah Brightman perhaps had more right than any other artist to put her own spin on Cats‘ showstopper. It may make “My Heart Will Go On” look subtle in comparison but you can’t fault her commitment. Dion, who couldn’t actually speak English at the time, donned a skin-tight furry catsuit, full feline make-up and frazzled wig while belting out the musical’s climax. So it’s not too surprising that she fully immersed herself into the whole Cats world when she performed “Memory” as a 19-year-old on the French-Canadian TV show L’Autobus du show-business. Taken from his 12th studio effort, Here Comes the Night, Manilow’s “Memory” was released as a double A-side with the slightly more forgettable self-penned track, “Heart of Steel.”Ĭeline Dion is never one to do things by halves. Barry Manilow, who collaborated with Babs on her 2002 Duets collection, actually went 13 places better with his faithful rendition. Streisand wasn’t the only old-fashioned crooner to score a hit with “Memory” in the ’80s.
