- Barbra was a guest at the David Frost television show. She taped her appearance in February 1971 but the episode was never aired. However, one of the songs she performed (the other one was "I Don't Know Where I Stand", from her Stoney End album) made it to a video compilation Barbra was working on that unfortunately... was also never released! I hope you enjoy the video of "Didn't We?" with improved audio quality.

When I see and hear the girls today I thank god I grew up when I did. No one will ever be as great as this woman. Everything about her is brilliant and beautiful. The greatest talent for the last 60 years. There will never be another.
You are so right
My idol since I was 8 years old back
in 1971!! I have all her music.
I feel the same way Gary Phillips.
You got that right! So beautiful!
total, UNconditional agreement w/ you, Gary!!
No auto tune, no backing track, no lips syncing - incredible.
a voice clear as a bell...
Well, actually, she's singing to the pre-recorded studio track. David Frost had no orchestra in his studio.
when I try to turn "younger" people on to Barbra, this and the Forum version are my go to. Prime voice , clear as a bell, pitch perfect and so damn thoughtful. Also, after all these years I'm finally noticing part of her schtick is appearing "UNCOMFORTABLE" which makes the viewer FEEL for her.... a trick? Clever trick if it is.
@@KJBigBelter she always knew exactly what she was doing. But she has one of the best female voices ever, no matter what.
HER PRAISING, HER VOICE, HER BEAUTY, HER STYLE !! ALL HER OWN!
Stunning - Streisand at her pitch note perfect best- what a range - her phrasing cannot be touched by any other female artist of her generation. She is simply THE best!
She has a recording studio, sound engineer, music director all built in into her throat.
Yes, most regular people sound terrible unless they have all the right equipment with the best quality, with a talent like Barbra, even in poor quality recordings, her voice shines through.
No one will ever compare to Barbra. She is the greatest female vocalist ever. No one will ever match her.
I got into a CZcams comment argument along these lines when someone claimed that Karen Carpenter was the greatest singer ever. Here you are making a similar claim about Barbra.
I certainly agree that her voice and singing is spectacular. But I claim that there are many other singers that are equally good: Julie Andrews, Lady Gaga, Adel Karen Carpenter, just to name a few. Yes Barbra Streisand is an uncommonly wonderful singer. But the greatest ever? I don’t think so. In the past 6 decades there have been about a couple dozen wonderful singers who perform at this level.
Just to clarify, I’m considering the skills of these singers when they were at the top. Not fair to compare the current Lady Gaga with the current and elderly Barbra Streisand and Julie Andrews.
Lady Gaga maybe have a good voice but definitely not in the same league.
Barbra controls her voice like no other!
Barbra is the best but there are are others in her league like Julie Andrews, Karen Carpenter, Adele, Celine, Judy, Shirley Jones ( You’ll never Walk Alone!), but Barbra is the queen!
@@engineeringoyster6243Lady Gaga is a good singer, but Barbra has feats vocally which very few could equal. For example, achieving full vocal cord-closure on super soft dynamics in a 16 seconds legato line, Lady Gaga ain't touching that type of feat.
Her tone pitch vibrato and everything is completely flawless. Quite amazing.
Yes her voice was perfection
That voice is a gift from God!
If you never heard another song of hers, this shows the vocal brilliance that is solely Streisand's God Given gift. I have always found her so extraordinary for so many reasons. Myself and millions. A voice like this is once in a lifetime.
Never has been, still isn't, and never will be any female singer to match the beautiful, multi-talented miracle she is. She's simply incomparable and inimitable.
She's pretty good.
I dont know what these female singers are anymore. They will never hold a candle to Barbra. Ive been listening to her since 7 and bever stopped. None of them will ever be Barbra. I see covers of her songs. I laugh. Barbra is eternity and im so glad I lived during her years. A true legend!!!!!!
I’m 19, and I’m so sad I wasn’t around during her younger years. Singers today could never compare. She looks so naturally beautiful and also SOUNDS so naturally beautiful.
What I do have however, is instant access to every film and performance she has done. I really hope my generation can experience her voice, and the emotion it can bring. When I first heard “Somewhere” it brought a tear to my eye.
I hope I can convince you that not every young person likes the lip syncing and auto tune of modern day singers! One thing I am appreciative of, is the fact that I am alive at the same time as Barbra, that is an honour in itself.
wow, you convinced me
Above and beyond having the greatest stage voice of the century, she method acted every song, to perfection. Every moment so real, so unique. It’s what she has in common with Garland. They both acted the songs. Just higher level stuff.
Absolutely the greatest female singer of all time!!
This one ALWAYS stops me in my tracks. The face acting, the vowel manipulations, the face when the mic feedbacks... It really may be my fave! xoxo
Holy mother of God that voice there was just nothing like it fierce
Barbra Streisand is simply the best 💝
She sounds fantastic and her presence is captivating.
A very distinct and one of the most recognizable voice I've ever heard.
I never understand why everybody else can't see how special her voice is.
Yeah, she could have had a great career if only someone had given her a chance. 🤦♂️
just tepid applause -what were they thinking?
But many many do Andrew. (Not everybody else). Maybe some who just cant hear it. Their loss. She couldn't have made it to the great heights she did, if So many , millions, did and do. Years back a great article in the The Arts and Leisure section of the NY Times, was written by an important Music (Opera) critic about her exquisite gift and why her instrument is so special. I wish I had saved it. Maybe it was 15/18 years ago. This vocal alone is a testament to her artistry. Best, EN
@@bricago2302 smile
Well that's they're loss if they can't see how special Barbara Striesand is. The younger generations ears are so jaded towards CRAP music, today, they don't have a damn clue how beautiful Barbara Streisand is and was.
Her phrasing is impeccable. She truly is as rare as they come. She came out as a singer at such a young age and was already such a master with her voice and how she conveys emotions. Queen!!
An old musical soul.
It is remarkable that you can always understand every words as she sings!!
She is once in a lifetime!
When she sings she seems to go into another world and takes us along with her for the ride. Wonderful!
this one made me cry. beauty does that
I got the chills listening to her beautiful voice. ❤️
There's no words when it comes to her vocals! Love love love her❤❤❤
The "actress who sings". Indeed she is. Only Streisand can make me feel a song as well as hear it. Thank you thank you thank you Gustavo!
She truly is the actress who sings. Wow. Just wow.
That is exactly what I was going to say she "performs" and act the song with a eonderful voice of course
How cool is this!? At the end of the song, and If in the key of G, she improvises Did(C), 'nt(B), We(G), Al(Eb), most(C~D), Make(B), It(G.......) perfectly in the cord structure. A great Jimmy Webb Tune! This old recording makes it hard to hear the orchestration behind her but it seems to be 1st class. She made that song hers like no other singer could. When she's gone there will be no one to hold that level of excellence to replace her.
Ugh, you have no idea how much i love what you said here, being i'm a musician. And your last sentence? I couldn't agree more!
She wasn’t a trained singer or musician, so my guess is that she has perfect pitch and instinctively knows how to improvise and always remain on pitch. Ella Fitzgerald had that gift too, and couldn’t read a note of music.
No one owns a note like Barbra, striking a high tone with such accuracy, and then bend a low one with such emotional thoughtfulness, like on the word, "some..". I was 4 years old when upon first hearing her voice, and no one at that time, and few since, have ever "acted" a song quite like her. How anyone that tiny can contain that much talent is beyond my comprehension.
She had all the effects in her arsenal: sweet, soft, turning of a phrase, bending the note, a real jazz artist at heart but with a killer Broadway belt, and she holds back. She builds, she never just comes out with it. That's not exciting. Shirley Bassey just belted all the damn time. Barbra chooses carefully to set the scene, looking out at her lover right there in front of her, picking the emotion from a reaction of something in her head, an acting scene for her, and then toying with the melody to her pleasure, and letting us having it at the end, building to the release, having it mean something. It's coming from a real place. The most amazing example is her studio track, not the movie soundtrack but her studio album take of LOST INSIDE OF YOU, whereby she literally wails this one phrase and without even a break with a breath goes to a soft siren. Until I myself began singing did I realize NOBODY ELSE could do it quite that way without sounding ridiculous. She's really a musical instrument.
@@smurf902 "Lost Inside Of You"! I know exact;ly what you're talking about there. And i love that she recorded two versions of that, but it's hard to pick which as my favourite.
And i had to listen again... Such bliss. You know, there were four life-changing things that happened to me. One of them was hearing "People" on my mother's radio, in 1966. Even at that tender age, i heard the difference.@@smurf902
She is simply amazing no one else like her
Barbra is an Actress who sings the song with real emotion and connection. A big difference from other singers. The only other Actress who did the same...the Great Judy Garland.
Im agree about what you said about Barbra.
I really like Barbra's voice from the 60-70s. Thank you for this video.
It was her “Barbra didn’t know she was Barbra” era when she was all about the art form.
I just love her! Since about 1977 when my mother had one of her 8 tracks in the car. Sometimes I had enough of Barbra but I always come back to her. Especially when I'm feeling a bit low. I'm in such admiration of her.
Phenomenal
Beautiful…
Weak applause for a performance that spectacular.
they're british :)
Just staff and techies, not an audience in the studio. @@fkd1963
I think that every time I watch this! I mean, come on, hearing that in person? How could they not be losing it?
They were in a very small television studio and there weren't many people there.
Mostly just the crew.
At the height of her beauty in vocal capacity!
Barbra Streisand sings beautifully many different types of songs but her specialty, the ones that show her artistry to the fullest, is the ballad sung from the heart.
Absolutely amazing. What an amazing career.
🌞impeccable! Streisand even soared over the brief feedback-didn’t she now!
Yes she certainly got that mic to calm down with that look she gave it like " excuse me bitch"! lol
I love barbra , her unique voice ,❤❤❤
She has so much control of her vocal chords and timing like no other. Those pauses and the way she pronounces her words are so classic.
That voice is just amazing!
One of a kind and I am glad to be able to hear this beautiful lady and her beautiful music her style and her way well done barbra. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
mind boggling
If we can only relive the beautiful voice in todays 4K HD HQ recording.
As close to perfection as a mortal can get.
Loved To Have Heard Barbara And Karen Carpenter Sing Together That Would Have Been Something
Soooooo brilliant.
Love you barbra. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The best of the best!!! Great actress and singer and director and song writer..you name it!!!
This clip is terrific, really terrific. It's a wow.
I absolutely love this song since I heard it for the first time in 2004. My mother's nickname for me was "Almost." And boy was she ever right. I'm always "almost" hitting the mark in relationships, in my professional life, in my writing, or in my garden even. "Almost" is right. Never quite right, just... "almost."
Fantastic
Pricelles. ❤❤
Barbra was meant to be a great actress form the get go , you can tell when she sings you can see how she gives so much emotions and so much depth ,, so convincing !
What sets her apart is the way she delivers a lyric.
She is acting the hell out of this song!
The live concert at the Forum version is where I discovered this song as a 9-year-okd boy listening on my parents new hi-fi. I’m 59 now
and still her performance still
gives me chills ❤️❤️❤️❤️✅
Surely the higher ups will release some of these solid gold pieces for her birthday celebration!!! PLEASE
i could see you in a show as you sang. absolutely emotion and incredible beautiful voice
Barbara Streisand! A very beautiful, unique voice. A talented singer, actress, director, producer and humanitarian. She has a way of making a song her own. She touches you with every note she sings. ❤❤❤❤
Thank you, Gustavo, for this long-lost piece of Barbra's musical history. It's so fascinating to watch and listen to her: The voice is magical, as always; but Barbra has always told us she's an actress first. And I think for this performance her powerful dramatic imagination is focusing on a relationship she had cherished, but she's now truly crushed--and a little angry--that it did not work out. That's what I get! And she's a marvel, as always.
I like this song a lot .
Is so beautiful.
Her voice is UNIQUE BEAUTIFUL
Beautiful beautiful
Maybe this will be included Ina future DVD boxed set!!! Way better recording that the one on Release Me 2 in my opinion.
Thanks for this video!
This tiiiime…☺️..she‘s even better than on the release me album. All the little imperfections and this voice, just pure and natural. Love it very much ❤
The second of the three "Didn't we"s that Barbara adds for her version of the song really makes it stand out from all the other versions in my opinion. 3 Didn't We's sounds so much better than the two that Jimmy wrote that all the other artists do on their version. Barbara rules on this one.
Stunningly beautiful
This is the best rendition of Jimmy Webb's tearjerker!
The best
Absolutely Fabulous! Total Control! Beautiful phrasing!
❤❤❤❤❤💯!!
Love how she backs up and looks at the mic when she hears the feedback. She has said one of the worst sounds in the world is feedback. I agree. PS: That long-awaited career-spanning video compilation is coming. It really is. She keeps adding to it and editing. I wish I had a release date but watch Nov. 2023 when she publishes her memoir. Perhaps then.
Awesome,she feels every word,I'm transfixed 💯👏♥️♥️💐💐
Still, the most beautiful voice
Perfection
Before Barbra, no one sang like her. No one has since, and no one ever will.
Ok Love her vocals so naturally beautiful!
The Best.
Awesome, loveyou Barbra
One of her best songs!
Hermoso video. Hermosa versión... Gracias Gustavito
When she sings like this she sings from her own heart it’s not just a song she’s singing and after reading her biography and listening to her read it to us after all she’s been through this is not just a song she’s singing through her own pain
Wow, just wow!
What a moving performance from THE DAVID FROST SHOW. Thanks so much for posting.
God, she's good.
She is such a lady in everything that she does.
Like butter
Thank you for sharing this! Love to listen Barbra in her prime.❤
Assolutamente MERAVIGLIOSA!!!!
MARAVILLOSA
FLAWLESS!!
Yoooo. You’re awesome !!! Been looking for this version since they deleted it. Best version of this song. Better than the release me version.
young and your voice is incredible and you barbra i believe is beautiful
In this realm, Barbra is a vocalist....artists today are "performers" or "entertainers", they're not necessarily "vocalists."
Hey buddy!!
Thank you, thank you!!
Nobody else like her!!
OMG!!! Thank you so much for uploading this. This is amongst my FAVORITE SONGS!!! 🎶 🎵 🪕 This song helped me get over a relationship that was dear to me yet toxic. Bless you
🥺🙏🏿🦋🌈
Stunning ❤️❤️❤️
PERFECTION!
Excellent!!!!
She sang this song on her album "Live at the Forum" (of Los Angeles) in 1972.
such purity and beautiful voice and person, agapa from sherrie
