1. Jack Jones (born Jan. 14, 1938, in Hollywood, Calif.) is a traditional pop singer, perhaps best known for his songs "I've Got Your Number" and "Wives and Lovers". The only son of actors Allan Jones and Irene Hervey, he released his first album in 1959 on Capitol Records, but he didn't find success until he moved to Kapp Records in the early 60s. During that decade, he was rated highly by contemporaries such as Frank Sinatra. Judy Garland even reportedly called him the best jazz singer in the world, though Jones was always a straight pop singer (even with contemporary material) and merely ventured in the direction of jazz. He has won two Grammy Awards.
Having toured for decades since his 60s heyday, Jones still performs concerts around the world and remains popular on the casino circuit. Many of his tunes are included in various mutli-artist compliation albums. Some of his best-known songs are "The Impossible Dream," " "Wives And Lovers" (1964 Grammy Award, Best Pop Male Performance)," "The Race Is On," "Lollipops and Roses" (1962, Grammy Award, Best Pop Male Performance), "Lady," and "The Love Boat Theme".

It's Easy To Remember
Jack Jones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The way you looked when we met
It's easy to remember so hard to forget
I hear you whisper I always love you
I know it's over and yet
It's easy to remember but oh so hard to forget
So I must dream to have your hand caress me fingers press me tight
I'd rather dream than have that lonely feeling stealing through the night
And though it brings me regret
It's easy to remember but so hard to forget
So I must dream to have your hand caress me fingers press me tight
I'd rather dream than have that lonely old feeling stealing through the night
Each little moment is clear before me
And though it brings me regret
It's easy to remember and so hard to forget
The lyrics of Jack Jones's song "It's Easy To Remember" express the difficulty of forgetting someone who was once deeply loved. The first verse is rooted in nostalgia, as the "sweet expression" and "smile" of the person is still vividly remembered. This memory is juxtaposed with the harsh reality that the relationship is over - "I know it's over and yet." The chorus then emphasizes the pain by repeating the phrase "It's easy to remember but oh so hard to forget" twice.
The second verse continues with the theme of remembering and dreaming, as the singer would rather hold onto the good moments they shared than face the loneliness that comes with their absence. The repetition of "Each little moment is clear before me" enhances the theme of memories being sharper than the present. The regret of what was lost is acknowledged, but the singer is still unable to move past the memory of their former love.
Overall, Jones's poignant delivery and the song's wistful tone evoke the universal experience of dwelling on what once was, even when it's better to let go.
