I'm 74 and remember it well and as the poet says "Ah, the memories". Sometimes I thank God for them and at other times I wish I could forget them. I think it was Shakespeare who referred to love as bitter sweet?
Listening on September 1st 2024..i am 63....in this Lifetime...sooo much older than. Welcome to September..Happy September..the month of My Late Mama's Birth as well as my Dearest Eldest Sister's Birth...Happy Birthday Suzanne
@@markschafer7510Meine Eltern hatten im September Hochzeitstag, leben leider beide nicht mehr. Für mich ist der September jedesmal ein Abschied vom Sommer und ich habe immer das Gefühl, er war nur ein Wimpernschlag.
I’m 77. I saw The Brothers Four in concert in the 60’s when I was in college. I always loved this song. We had good voices, great lyrics, melody, harmony, and community back then. I miss it. Now in 2024 I am grateful for RUclips for bringing these times back to us. We need this kind of port in the storm today.
My dad use to sing this to us when we were going off to sleep. I'm 61 and he passed 5 years ago. Still brings back the best memories, and makes my heart hurt too.....
Today is September 24th, my birthday. I couldn't have asked for a better present! Thank you Brothers Four for this beautiful song of my youth. Simply exquisite!❤
It's hard to believe that once upon a time a song like this could be a hit in this country. I remember this song when I was a child and now I'm in the remembering phase of life.
Thank you for sharing. Yes, a hit! Funny I missed it the first time around. The remembering phase, I like to consider it, the integration phase, let it all come together and make sense. Peace to you.
Beautiful Song! I remember this song when I was teenager. A lot of beautiful memory in my life in September. I am an old woman of 75 aged this year. Thanks for sharing.
@@jeanettechong4487 I too, was a youngster when this song was a hit on the easy-listening stations of the 1960s. My dear old mother loved this song. I miss those days :-) Most music nowadays just jolts the nerves.
My uncle, Harvey Schmidt, was the composer of this song for The Fantastics. It premiered on May 3, 1960. It was the longest running off Broadway musical in history. He just passed away last night around got. Feb 26,2018
Well this is late but I want you to know this is a fabulous song and he contributed a song that is in the sound track of a lot of our lives! Condolences to you and your family!
Judy, I agree with you. I think that when you listen to this heartwarming slow paced wonderful song it reminds us of what life was like then and earlier. It's hard to find relaxing music like this anymore. Life in general seems much more out of control now.
I am listening on April 6, 2020 ,with a good friend; we are well into our senior years (78 and 82), and this song stirs such memories. The song brings a bit of happiness in the midst of this terrible pandemic. Thank you, Brothers’ Four.
@@barbaraglynn1531 Am now listening April 6, 2020 in Helena, MT. My husband & I presented them in concert 2 years ago this month as part of our cabaret concert series. Delightful, genuine, spot-on, & the sound was...& is...heavenly!
My dad was always hard on me, pushing me to do good in school. A stark contrast to my mother, she would play this for me on piano. They both died December 16, 1991 in a "car accident". I hope they'd be proud of me and how I'm running the family business.
I'm 71, but I don't think it is so much age, but maturity too, that makes appreciation for the sentiment, and tenderness in this rendition. Dare I say, it is very masculine as well?
Jesus. Must have been about 1963, I took my girlfriend (later wife) to a wonderful college production of The Fantasticks. Two years later I was in the military. Thanks for this nice rendition!
Bring back memories of when the music was so good, the instruments allowed the voices to lead, and the voices themselves were worth listening to. Just beautiful!
This reminds me of being a kid in our family room, and my Dad would play this song on the record player. I wish I could go back to that time just for a moment, and hug my folks.
my Dad was a great singer and he'd sing this song, and many others too. I am with you on those beautiful memories, thoughts and feelings. GOD Bless ALL of Our Fathers!
Brings tears, such a lovely song and lovely sang by four talents. Tomorrow Sept 2 is my anniversary. Sadly, he passed a year ago, together 53 years. September memories will be long remembered and follow... follow. Thank you, God and thank you, Four Brothers.
We played this song at our wedding in September 1969. Thirty five years later, my husband died, so this brings tears to my eyes. Thank you for posting.
We were in college and falling in love. We went to New York and saw The Fantasticks on Off Broadway stage. Will always remember those precious memories, especially now that you are gone, my dearest Bruce.
Si! Aquí en España hay una mujer que no para de oir semejantes voces y la misma canción cual obra de arte inigualable. Dicha srta. Joven pero con 64 años de edad, está siendo tratada de 2 cánceres a un tiempo, con excelentes resultados gracias a Dios, y agradece enormemente la música de calidad.
I’m in my 60s, and I feel your emotion, but I was white. The tragedy for me is that the innocence and safety was only for us, not for my Granny’s black maid and her son. Such a shame.
I often think about the long walks I would take when growing up. I had a special place, an old stream that had a car path but was a great place to "park" when I became a teen. There was a really big pike swimming in the stream that no one had ever been able to hook. At the end of the stream right above the river it was dammed up by a lot of old branches that made a swimming hole. I'd stay there for hours just enjoying the quiet and watching the little fish jump. I remember one time catching about a 1/2 dozen chubs and taking them home for my mother to cook for me. Yeah, I can remember.
@@Eyes-of-Horus Thank You for Sharing Sir.. Like you, I have many fond memories of Childhood.. We had a very old tree shaped like a Horses back and neck that several kids could "Ride" on at a time ( It would have been an old Native Marker, intentionally bent), I have often hoped that nobody chopped down that Tree overlooking a Bay on a Point that we had..I can still hear the sound of our Summer Place door closing and smell the Kerosene Lamps..I too would spend Hours just exploring and being a kid.. NO Cell Phones, No I pads, plenty of Mosquitoes.. but in so many ways life was far simpler and more enjoyable.. LOL We had NO Electric or Indoor Plumbing by my Grandpa's Choice.. BUT we were "Privileged" as we had TWO Outhouses and a Massive Ice Box... Yuup Those were the Days.

I used to sing this song with my mother when I was a child in the 1970s. Now I'm 58, but still sing this. My grandson knows this song coz he hears me singing this
Maybe the sad thing is they DO right in this way, and the "geniuses" who decide what will get air play don't play them. So, IMO, across our nation and the world, these sort of songs "will not sell", or so the geniuses have decided. But then someone like say loreena mckennitt comes along and decided she "doesn't buy it" (that the geniuses in he big studios run the world) and she goes out, sells her self made songs, at festivals, small events and so forth until the geniuses decide to "give it a chance". So it still happens, I am glad to report.
I am happy to report that more than 4 1/2 million people have watched this video in the last few years - more than 1/2 million in the last 6 months - it is an honor to have the audience still appreciate the music as much as they/it do(es) -
"Try to Remember" back when singers actually used to listen to each other with great intonation, to make beautiful harmonies AND ACOUSTICALLLY with no electronics except for microphones that amplify what each one is doing, instead of just having to resort to screaming into it ? The song takes on new meaning now in 2020,, Doesn't it ?! And the Fantastics---Yes, back when people used their IMAGINATION to enjoy different scenarios and didn't have to wait to be told how to think?
I think you're right there. But also, call me ignorant, but I prefer to think about things in a more positive light. There is a lot of garbage being created by singers and bands nowadays, that I will never deny, but try to remember that there is a lot of people who agree with you, including musicians. Something I LOVE about RUclips is that it allows the creativity of people to flow. There're beautiful covers like this, and there are so many musicians that I think you would enjoy. But your points remain valid. I think it's important to not get stuck in the past and go searching for what you want, in a time that is not the same as it once was. Call it evolution, or advancing, some things get left behind and some things get pushed aside, but they are still there. The trends change, but if you look hard enough, you might be surprised. Excuse my philosophical rant, haha.
很喜歡Brothers Four的歌，因他們帶我回到兒時的感覺。我68歲，在 Quarry Bay 出生。那里有山有水，每天去幾游水，又常去山上走，我的運動底仔就在這里打好了。生治很慢，可以好好紐味生活。但現今社會，什麼都講求效率及速度，我靈願活在童年時氛圓，想像活在往年，如要面對現今世界，不間心，全世界都努力對抗
Oct.16 2021 just played this beautiful and timeless classic for my 100 year old mum, it made us feel young again, thank you brothers four for the priceless memories!
My two dogs know this tune well, as we walk half an hour in the woods twice a day, and they hear this on harmonica often. My mom sang this often, sixty years ago, and later, as my sisters and I grew up. I just ran across this by "accident", thanks!
I love it when 'old' musicians are still performing now, and it comes across with a whole new feeling, & emotions!!!!... It creates a whole new level of respect, and love, for what people feel dear to them from the past, & into our future!!! xoxox
@@linsqopiring6816 Absolutely.... Today there is not the 'meanings' of Words, that is what it's all about... Am so glad you understand & feel that... xox
Thank you so much, Brothers Four, for enriching our lives with your tender rendition of Try to Remember. Its simple beauty brings tears to my eyes. It's hard to believe this song was #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 three times in 1965 by different recording artists! It's a testament to the musical/vocal talents that allow us to enjoy it so very much for so long!❤️
I remember this song as a kid. This and Moon River really got to me because of the almost haunting melody. I guess I felt a beautiful song even as a small boy. I've been playing the guitar and music for over fifty years now. The great ones still get to me!
I was fortunate enough to see play: the Fantastics in off Broadway play in Greenwich Village NYC in the 1990’s . A memorable experience that I Will never forget
Well, you made me cry! After hearing all the news today, I wish we could go back in time. I do remember. It was kinder, more gentle, and more loving back then. Thank you for the memories that this song evoked.
He was 37 and she was 35 years old. My Buddy had a love relationship you'd never seen before. Such love between the two, beyond belief. Just over a year after the beginning of their relationship she developed terminal cancer and was given less than a year to live. What devastation! That being said, their love grew even stronger. On the night she passed away she was in his arms and the background music was playing. As she spoke her last words, "I'll always love you," this song (Try To Remember) started playing. And tears just flowed down our eyes. We have never forgotten this song, which of course reminds of her passing. The Four Brothers...such good music!
What a beautiful, yet heart wrenching story. I think this is a bit of what we all think about when we hear this gentle song.....days and loves long past and a desire to relive beautiful memories. Thanks for capturing our emotions with your story as this song plays in the background.
Time is such a mysterious thing. Here is a song about remembering. And hearing it almost takes me back to a time that was so long ago but feels like yesterday.
My dear husband and I saw the show many years ago on Broadway. We fell in love in NYC. Now that I am alone, I have the musical memories to keep our love alive.
This song always reminds me of my father who passed away from a brain tumor in 2004. Growing up he would play this song on our record player, and it always put him in a happy mood. Thank you so much for a beautiful song and such wonderful memories of my dad.
Same here. My dad would play all sorts of folk groups when I was a kid. New Christy Minstrels, The Weavers, you name it he played them. This was one of those tunes you never forget!
I must be as old as your Dad would be "72" Believe me there was and can be better times than now, yes we had bad times but we still believed in good , that is what we need to do again!
Love this song so much. Thankyou guys for sharing with us. You still sound great. I always get teary eyed when I hear this beautiful song. So many memories❤❤
Listening to this beautiful song in 2023 .. In a world gone completely mad ..!! When nations turn their back on God ...all HELL BREAKS LOOSE . No God NO peace !! Know God ..know PEACE !!
I am 77 - with a group in high school - we called ourselves the Castaways - I don't think we learned Try to Remember - but se sang a lot of those folks songs - which made it pretty amazing when I was asked to join The Brothers Four at 21 in 1969. Are you still singing?
I'm listening, 4/15/22... I remember Hearing this on the radio when I was a little girl, it touched my heart then and it still touches my heart now... How can you not reflect back on your life when you hear it. A lifetime of memories💜
What a very nice song to remember by.It reminds me of my younger years and now I"m a sr.citizen but still I love to listen to this beautiful music.Love it really.
God made the 60'sSo many do not understand what it is to "Feel" the 60'sThey were good and bad but I AM SO GLAD I lived them,I shall die but I shall be remembered, Thank You!

Try to remember the kind of September
When life was slow and oh, so mellow
Try to remember the kind of September
When grass was green and grain was yellow
Try to remember the kind of September
When you were a tender and callow fellow
Try to remember and if you remember
Then follow, follow
Try to remember the kind of September
That no one wept except the willow
Try to remember the time of September
That dreams were kept beside your pillow
Try to remember the kind of September
When love was an ember about to billow
Try to remember and if you remember
Then follow, follow
Deep in December It's nice to remember
Although you know the snow will follow
Deep in December It's nice to remember
The fire of September that made us mellow
Deep in December our hearts should remember
And follow, follow, follow...
Thank you!
Thank you 😊

Gosh..... Remembering me when I was kid, listened to this fave song of my brother song. Is there anybody still listening on January 20...?
I am happy to report that more than 4 1/2 million people have watched this video in the last few years - more than 1/2 million in the last 6 months - it is an honor to have the audience still appreciate the music as much as they/it do(es) -
Absolutely!! We are playing this song at our 50th class reunion as we roll a video of pictures of us all as young adults! This song never ages; we do!

15 March 2020. This song never grows old!!
March 20th!
"Try to Remember" back when singers actually used to listen to each other with great intonation, to make beautiful harmonies AND ACOUSTICALLLY with no electronics except for microphones that amplify what each one is doing, instead of just having to resort to screaming into it ? The song takes on new meaning now in 2020,, Doesn't it ?! And the Fantastics---Yes, back when people used their IMAGINATION to enjoy different scenarios and didn't have to wait to be told how to think?
I think you're right there. But also, call me ignorant, but I prefer to think about things in a more positive light. There is a lot of garbage being created by singers and bands nowadays, that I will never deny, but try to remember that there is a lot of people who agree with you, including musicians.
Something I LOVE about RUclips is that it allows the creativity of people to flow. There're beautiful covers like this, and there are so many musicians that I think you would enjoy.
But your points remain valid. I think it's important to not get stuck in the past and go searching for what you want, in a time that is not the same as it once was. Call it evolution, or advancing, some things get left behind and some things get pushed aside, but they are still there. The trends change, but if you look hard enough, you might be surprised.
Excuse my philosophical rant, haha.
@@BakaTaco well put
Mom used to sing this to us kids...God, how I miss her!
很喜歡Brothers Four的歌，因他們帶我回到兒時的感覺。我68歲，在 Quarry Bay 出生。那里有山有水，每天去幾游水，又常去山上走，我的運動底仔就在這里打好了。生治很慢，可以好好紐味生活。但現今社會，什麼都講求效率及速度，我靈願活在童年時氛圓，想像活在往年，如要面對現今世界，不間心，全世界都努力對抗
The Americans that we Aussies love and remember!! Authentic!
Too right!
Such beautiful voices and such magnificent sounds from two guitars a bass. Absolutely perfect!
I remember without even trying. Fall of 1964 and I was starting high school. What a great song!
I love this song. It's sad and uplifting at the same time.
The best version. It makes people cry when listening to it and at the same time thinking of the past.
Beautiful song sung by a great group. Thank you so much for posting this.
Those were the days when the world was a great place 😊
Oct.16 2021 just played this beautiful and timeless classic for my 100 year old mum, it made us feel young again, thank you brothers four for the priceless memories!
I am listening, remembering my father singing like this to our cow bringing her in to be milked. Thaaaaank you!
A beautiful song from when music meant something and artists were not weirdos with crazy haircuts and bizarre antics!
My two dogs know this tune well, as we walk half an hour in the woods twice a day, and they hear this on harmonica often. My mom sang this often, sixty years ago, and later, as my sisters and I grew up. I just ran across this by "accident", thanks!
So beautiful a song and one we played at my US Teacher Corps closing ceremony in Deming, New Mexico in 1972!
I love it when 'old' musicians are still performing now, and it comes across with a whole new feeling, & emotions!!!!...
It creates a whole new level of respect, and love, for what people feel dear to them from the past, & into our future!!! xoxox
These ones seem to age like a fine wine.
@@linsqopiring6816 Absolutely.... Today there is not the 'meanings' of Words, that is
what it's all about... Am so glad you understand & feel that... xox
Viejos tiempos que no volveran. Yo tenía 11 años. Ahora 67. Música como esta, de Caravana, me sigue manteniendo viva.
What a beautiful song and a fantastic group of men. This song is all about love and taking care of one another. The way life was meant to be.
Í Will always love folk music and these guys are the best! I can't help but sing along.
So beautiful! The Fantastics was a wonderful show.
This was My Mam and Dad's song. There last holiday together was in September. When my Father died, I song this for my Mam when she was sad..
Prayers for you, your family and all who love you and care for you!

Mary MC Mullen i want to cry.
@@jodacious46 the prayer
Oh, Mary, that was beautiful. And I'm sure that somewhere he was hearing and appreciating it. All the best.
Thank you so much, Brothers Four, for enriching our lives with your tender rendition of Try to Remember. Its simple beauty brings tears to my eyes. It's hard to believe this song was #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 three times in 1965 by different recording artists! It's a testament to the musical/vocal talents that allow us to enjoy it so very much for so long!❤️
Who were the other two?
@@nealbaker7991 Ed Ames and Roger Williams, but the recordings only made the Top 100, not #1.
I remember this song as a kid. This and Moon River really got to me because of the almost haunting melody. I guess I felt a beautiful song even as a small boy. I've been playing the guitar and music for over fifty years now. The great ones still get to me!
Me, too. You’re heart sings among a throng of dreamers.
The great ones always will get to you -- each time you hear them. That's what makes them classic.
I was fortunate enough to see play: the Fantastics in off Broadway play in Greenwich Village NYC in the 1990’s . A memorable experience that I Will never forget
Listenig to this thinking
Of my late twin and two brothers
Now gone and memories yes it
Brought tear to my eye
Beautifull song.
Well, you made me cry! After hearing all the news today, I wish we could go back in time. I do remember. It was kinder, more gentle, and more loving back then. Thank you for the memories that this song evoked.
He was 37 and she was 35 years old. My Buddy had a love relationship you'd never seen before. Such love between the two, beyond belief. Just over a year after the beginning of their relationship she developed terminal cancer and was given less than a year to live. What devastation! That being said, their love grew even stronger. On the night she passed away she was in his arms and the background music was playing. As she spoke her last words, "I'll always love you," this song (Try To Remember) started playing. And tears just flowed down our eyes. We have never forgotten this song, which of course reminds of her passing. The Four Brothers...such good music!
What a beautiful, yet heart wrenching story. I think this is a bit of what we all think about when we hear this gentle song.....days and loves long past and a desire to relive beautiful memories. Thanks for capturing our emotions with your story as this song plays in the background.
Thanks for sharing good memories of her

Heart breaking
So heartbreaking ..... beautiful, yet tragic.
Time is such a mysterious thing. Here is a song about remembering. And hearing it almost takes me back to a time that was so long ago but feels like yesterday.

My dear husband and I saw the show many years ago on Broadway. We fell in love in NYC. Now that I am alone, I have the musical memories to keep our love alive.
Heard this song on "Ridley" and remembered our tape of the Brothers Four singing it. 60s or 70s.
This song always reminds me of my father who passed away from a brain tumor in 2004. Growing up he would play this song on our record player, and it always put him in a happy mood. Thank you so much for a beautiful song and such wonderful memories of my dad.
Same here. My dad would play all sorts of folk groups when I was a kid. New Christy Minstrels, The Weavers, you name it he played them. This was one of those tunes you never forget!
I must be as old as your Dad would be "72" Believe me there was and can be better times than now, yes we had bad times but we still believed in good , that is what we need to do again!
karp1945, my dad was born in 1930 so he would have been 87 this year. So he was quite a lot older than you. Thanks for responding! It's a great song!!
I feel for you love has no bounds Bill WQarren

The Brothers Four was my favourite singing group. Nice to see them again.
Today is 1-1-2020, and I still remember starting freshmen college classes in September, 1962!
Love this song so much. Thankyou guys for sharing with us. You still sound great. I always get teary eyed when I hear this beautiful song. So many memories❤❤
Listening to this beautiful song in 2023 .. In a world gone completely mad ..!! When nations turn their back on God ...all HELL BREAKS LOOSE . No God NO peace !! Know God ..know PEACE !!
How nostalgic. The group did justice to this beautiful song that is cherished by many baby boomers. Thank you.
I was watching Morse and something brought this song to mind. I am 73 and I remember it as if it were yesterday. And yes, I am teary.
Only calm peaceful loving people can sing like this
I'm 73, and my folk singing group called The Wanderers, sung this beautiful song...
I am 77 - with a group in high school - we called ourselves the Castaways - I don't think we learned Try to Remember - but se sang a lot of those folks songs - which made it pretty amazing when I was asked to join The Brothers Four at 21 in 1969. Are you still singing?
2021. Their voices make my heart feeling so comfy
Remind me of my high school days ^^^almost 50years passed with memory thanks!

I'm listening, 4/15/22... I remember Hearing this on the radio when I was a little girl, it touched my heart then and it still touches my heart now... How can you not reflect back on your life when you hear it. A lifetime of memories💜
I just looked up this song because it plays a big part in the William Forstchen trilogy. Good song. I like it.
Boy, do I miss hearing this. Great music. Great song.
