The Way We Were is one of the best songs ever released. I try to watch the movie at least once a year. Both are iconic and stand the test of time.

I loved The Way We Were, both the song and movie. I think it was the most beautiful song ever recorded. Barbra Streisand was iconic in singing it. Thank you Mr. Bergman for such a classic song. May you rest in eternal peace with God by your side.

I´m so sorry for your loss. I loved the song The Way We Were and bought the sheet music for it. He was one of the best lyricists IMO and extremely successful commercially. He lives on through his music and will be deeply missed. RIP Alan.

I never saw the face behind those wonderful songs, I grew up with until seeing your obituary picture. Those songs brought me joy and good memories. I am sure after a brief rest in heaven, the angels are going to call on you for some more songs to comfort the Lord. May your family be at peace on this difficult time.

I loved the Movie The Way we Were. It was the last movie I went with my mom. We bought crie like babies.

Thank you. I play Jack Jones' in concert version of What Are You Doing The Rest of Your Life at least once a week. Yes! it is one of the most romantic songs of all time.
