Remember What I Told You to Forget - Tavares - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"Remember What I Told You to Forget" is a track by American soul/R&B group Tavares, included in their 1974 second studio album, Hard Core Poetry. A songwriting effort between Dennis Lambert and Brian Potter, "Remember What I Told You to Forget" is a soulful plea, anchored by a commanding piano line that unfolds into sweeping strings, and eventually a full-band accompaniment. In its poignant lyrics, the protagonist reaches out to a former romantic partner, urging them to remember the promises once made while ironically asking them to forget the pain. Hitting number 4 on the Hot Soul Singles chart and number 25 on the Billboard Hot 100, this track cemented its place among the pantheon of Tavares' hits. Hard Core Poetry also achieved commendable success, peaking at number 12 on the R&B albums chart and number 68 on the Billboard 200, featuring other notable hits such as "Too Late" and "She's Gone."
