If You Remember Me Chris Thompson When you remember me If you remember me I hope you see it's not the way I wanted to be Or I'd be with you now But wherever you go My love goes with you Keep on smiling Keep on shinning Even though you know you wanna cry I tried to love you Looking in my eyes You saw promises and lies Too many times When you remember me If you remember me I hope you see it's not the way I wanted to be Or I'd be with you now But wherever you go My love goes with you I'll be with you Keep believing Some things even time can't come between And if you blame me Try to realize There were promises and lies too many times When you remember me If you remember me I hope you see it's not the way I wanted to be Or I'd be with you now But wherever you go My love goes with you Oh, my love goes with you
Thanks to whoever posted this.(finderlostsongs) I've only been ever to find a shorter MMcD version, bad audio played over the credits of "The Champ" I never really knew wrote it. Sager and Hamlish makes perfect sense. I've only known of it from the Chris Thompson version. This is a great song and doesn't hurt to have this guy singing it. The Johnny Mathis live verson of this is also very good also but, Michael Mc Donald's voice fits the melancholy message of the this song perfectly.
Thank you so much for this. I remember hearing McDonald's version ONCE as the background music in the original trailer for "The Champ". For decades I've wondered if I was delusional as I never again heard that version.
Michael McDonald really sounds great, but did you watch the youtube video of marvin hamlisch playing piano and Johnny Mathis singing the song. It is the best version never to be recorded in a studio.

Been looking for this great song for a very long time---I heard it in the preview for "The Champ"---but I think it was cut out of the movie---Thank you so much!!!
+Gary Morris I remember it being in the preview, as well. People used to tell me I was crazy; that there was no Michael McDonald version. I think they used the Chris Thompson version in the movie.
They used neither - the song was cut. However the Chris Thompson version was put on the soundtrack. It was included at the insistence of the producers as it fitted the scene it was intended for so well (the reunion scene).
Because neither this trailer version or the one recorded for the soundtrack by Chris Thompson (both equally as great) were used in the final film, the song was not eligible for the Best Original Song Academy Award. It surely would have been nominated, if not win. The film’s score by Dave Grusin, however, was nominated.
I think both version speaks volume of their individual skills. Though I have 2 say t hat c his Thompson version has more feelings when he sang his version and that is why it was given to him and he made that hit.
It's the exact same backing performance. Clearly they recorded the full arrangement minus vocal first, then auditioned different vocalists on top of it.
