    I am 76. When I was 16, after my mother and brother had gone to bed, my father turned on the gas fireplace. He told me to relax on the couch and turned out all the lights. Having put a record on, just before going stairs, he said, “I want you to listen to this singer. I think she is going to be famous someday…”. Yup, you guessed it!

    This is a Broadway Show Tune, from the musical Cats. Barbra got her start in Broadway musicals, starring as Fanny Brice in Funny Girl when she was just 21. She then did the movie version, and her film career was launched. She has perfect pitch, and can sing anything, from show tunes, to rock, to pop, to disco, to classical. She's a singer, songwriter, actor, screenwriter, producer, director and EGOT winner.

    I would give a reaction to "Somewhere" released in 1986, it won Barbra a record 5th Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Female. It's also a broadway song from West Side Story.

    Millions believe that Barbra Streisand is simply the greatest female vocalist of the 20th century. You won't hear an argument from me against it. Her catalog is deep and includes a few songs that were written for her by Barry Gibb and his brothers (the Bee Gees). And some of her hits were, indeed, from major motion pictures. I do wish one of you reaction channel people would at least go back to 1963 and listen to her debut single -- the one that put her on everyone's radar. The song "People" from the Broadway Musical, "Funny Girl." It's one of the most beautiful songs ever written. And she was just a baby when she recorded it.

  • @santacruz7455
    @santacruz7455 Před 24 dny +27

    The thing is: Barbra wanted to be an actress when she was young but her career at theatre did not go well. The director asked her if she could sing and she said okay. Out came the stuff you just heard... from that point it only took another year and she was world famous and only 21 yeras old. She is also an actor , director , etc. etc. probably the only person who won everything: Oscar, Grammy, Emmy, you name it..Probably one of the most gifted artists of all time-ans she had guts: refused to get her nose done or her name changed, she is a genius and a pioneer.

    Barbra Streisand is one of the most multi-talented female artists of the past 100 years: acting, directing and of course singing in her fantastic and unique voice. If you ever will react to movies, too, you should watch her movies "A Star Is Born", "Funny Girl", "Yentl", "The Way We Were", "What's Up, Doc?", "The Main Event".
    She is a fabulous singer on her own, but has collaborated with many big names, like The BeeGees and then especially oldest brother Barry Gibb. The album "Guilty" Barry (and his brothers, but mainly he) made for and with Barbra Streisand not only revitalized her album sales, but revitalized the record industry as a whole.
    The album was a total sensation and sold so many copies world wide, so quickly after its release, it was like the records were handed out for free. Two huge showbizz names teaming up together was a big thing back in 1980. Initially the Gibbs were asked to "write a song" for Barbra. They wrote several and Barbra liked them so much that the idea for doing a whole album was born. The Gibb brothers wrote all the songs for that album. In fact, they wrote many more, so Barbra picked her favorite ones of the dozens of songs she was presented with. Barry sang 2 duets with Barbra on the album. The title song "Guilty" (album version czcams.com/video/Phh9B1-4EYs/video.html) and "What kind of fool?" (album version: czcams.com/video/hfIR9NCcUKI/video.html / live version: czcams.com/video/3vi2RSWKfRQ/video.html). But most of the songs on the album had Barry's backing vocals and that special BeeGees sound to them. On Woman in Love Barry only plays the acoustic guitar. Background vocals are by Denise Maynelli, Myrna Mathews and Marti McCal. You should listen to the entire album, it's a classic. And the whole music business, including all the big stars, were starstruck by this duo as you can see in this clip czcams.com/video/pR1q_lPAzVg/video.html. After this album, the BeeGees produced albums for Dionne Warwick, Kenny Rogers and Diana Ross among others, for whom they also wrote all the songs. Most of these albums became best sold albums of these artists, too. This was from the 1986 One Voice concert Barbra held in her backyard to raise awareness after the Tjernobyl disaster.

    Barbara S. sings, acts, directs movies. She's been around since the 60's. Listen to her sing "The Way We Were" she also acted in this movie with Robert Redford. She is very underrated in Hollywood. Memories was used and became very popular in the stage show "Cats".

    She is truly a legend...one listen, and you can certainly see why! She started in musical theatre and caught attention at a young age with her incredible range, control and beautiful tone. She started making guest appearances on TV in the early 1960's, still appearing on stage and in concert to packed audiences. She has recorded albums and collaborated with other well-known stars, been cast in many movies, and become a director/producer as well. She has Grammys, Tony's, and just about any award imaginable...and she suffers from severe stage fright. Anything Barbra does, is absolute gold and if you take time to go down that rabbit hole, you will be rewarded to discover some next-level, jaw-dropping performances. Please do it, she's just too good to miss and you'll be so glad you caught onto Streisand!

  • @susanworkman529

    Barbra is perhaps one of the top 3 female vocalists of the 20 th century. This song is from the Broadway musical, "Cats". Originally sung by Betty Buckley on stage. Its about an old cat who is reflecting on her life before she dies.
    Now you need to listen to Barbra sing " Somewhere"
    Barbra is first a singer, then an actor, movie director and producer.
    She starred in 2 movie remakes of Broadway shows, "Funny Girl "and "Hello Dolly". You may have seen her act in "Meet The Fockers". In the 70's she starred in the remake of " A Star Is Born" with Kris Kristofferson. She is equally fabulous as a comedic actor and a dramatic actor.
    Check out these duets of Battles Streisand with:
    * Celine Dion..........."Tell Him". ( the voices of 2 angels)
    *Barry Gibb............."A Woman in Love"
    *Neil Diamond........" You Don't Bring Me Flowers Anymore"
    *Donna Summer....."No More Tears/Enough is Enough" ('extended
    version)
    Barbra's voice is a gift to all of us. She is now 80 and still singing and acting and directing.
    You are right, her voice is magical.
    More of her songs: "Evergreen" ( video w/ Kristofferson). "People" ( video from Funny Girl movie). "The Way We Were". (video from movie of the same name). " My Man" ( video from Funny Girl). "Don't Rain on My Parade" ( video from Funny Girl)

Here she's singing "Memory" , which is the biggest song off of the "Cats" soundtrack, a musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber. IIRC, the song is basically about an aging star reminiscing about her brighter days and how they have all passed her by.

She has Oscars, Emmy's, many many Grammies, and at least one Tony award. She has sung with every big voice of the era. Forget Sommers, that's just a kink in your brain.
