Barbra Streisand has recorded more than 60 albums, almost all with Columbia Records. Her early works in the 1960s (her debut The Barbra Streisand Album which won two Grammy Awards in 1963, followed by The Second Barbra Streisand Album, The Third Album, My Name Is Barbra, etc.) are considered classic renditions of theater and nightclub standards, including her version of Happy Days Are Here Again. Beginning with My Name Is Barbra, her albums were often medley-filled keepsakes of her television specials.
Starting in 1969, Streisand tackled contemporary songwriters; like many talented singers of the day, she found herself a fish out of water in attempts to tackle rock, but her vocal talents prevailed and she gained newfound success with the pop and ballad-oriented Richard Perry-produced album Stoney End in 1971. The title track, written by Laura Nyro, was a big hit for Streisand.
Streisand's 1980 album, Guilty featured the songwriting, production and vocal talents of Barry Gibb and was the best-selling album of her recording career. During the 1970s, she was also highly prominent in the pop charts, with number-one records like The Way We Were, Evergreen, No More Tears (Enough Is Enough) (her duet with Donna Summer), and Woman In Love; some of these came from soundtracks of her films. She recently took part in supporting Haiti in singing "We are the World 25th anniversary.
When the 1970s ended, Streisand was named the most successful female singer in the U.S. - only Elvis Presley and The Beatles having sold more albums. [1]
[1] In 1982, New York Times music critic Stephen Holden wrote that Streisand was "the most influential mainstream American pop singer since Frank Sinatra."

Barbra Streisand Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like nobody's loved you come rain or come shine
High as a mountain and deep as a river
Come rain or come shine
Well I guess when you met me (when you met me)
It was just one of those things (one of those things)'
But don't ever bet me
And you're gonna love me (I'm gonna love you)
Like nobody's loved me (like nobody's love you)
Come rain or come shine (come rain or shine)
Happy together, or unhappy together (unhappy together)
And won't that be fine
Days may be cloudy
Or sunny (or sunny)
We're in or we're out of the money (out of the money)
But I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine
Oh yeah (aha)
Well I guess when you met me (when you met me)
It was just one of those things
No but don't
Don't ever bet me
'Cause I'm gonna be true if you let me
I'm gonna let you know

Like nobody's loved you (alright)
Come rain or come shine
Happy together
Unhappy together and won't that just be fine
Days may be cloudy or sunny yeah

Come rain or come shine
Rain or come shine

John Mayer is like something that grows and grows and keeps on growing until it takes over everything. His technique at strings, his voice and his amazing ability to collaborate with the best and not seem inferior is just unbelievable. He's something extraordinary.
Jim
With all the respect to both musicians. You should see what I believe to be the female version of John Mayer... Tash Wolf.

@Courtney Henley he's not a douchebag, he is one of the most genuine and down to earth artists today
David Morris
RUBBISH! He stated his sexual preference, that is not racist, he does not want to have sex with black ladies. Doesn't mean he dislikes them on a social level or that he treats them badly.
C.J Armstrong
Courtney Henley I don't find asian women attracyive, I definitely have never wanted to sleep with one, but I most certainly have no bias against Asians as people. Am I a racist in your mind? I get where you are coming from, and John most definitely could have had more tact in how he said what he said, but I think you have to more closely inspect both what he said and in what context he said it. He was talking about what kind of women he likes to have sex with, not what race of people he thinks are lesser humans beings (he explicitly added that he has a Benetton heart, which is exactly what I'm talking about) and he was in the vulgar setting of a playboy interview. It should also be noted that 2010 was a really bad time for John mentally and he was regularily saying things / acting in ways to get attention at that time, basically being a publicist's nightmare on purpose. No doubt you also have your own sexual preferences, maybe you don't find brown guys attractive or something (just an example) but that doesn't make you racist. I have never heard, in any interview or Instagram live stream, John say anything that would indicate he is remotely racist. He has all the love in the world for so many black musicians. Do you really think Dave Chapelle would consider John one of his closest friends if John was racist? You should know better than to take, out of context, one thing he said and apply it to his entire demeanor as a whole. All that being said though, I agree he could have said it in a much better way.

John Mayer is praised by every one of the greats. Such a legend
G F
Mayer takes his music seriously and it shows, he always looks like he's having fun but MAKE NO MISTAKE, he's dedication to the music is genuine. Oh, and he can sing too. Crazy how much fun he is to watch.
Brandon Look
Mayer really has developed his own sound. You can tell that's him the second he starts playing between the tone and those licks! Brilliant track

Reminds me of a quote I saw from Duane Allman when asked if he had any advice for other guitar players. Duane said:
"I’d tell him to remember that you can’t never play just like anyone else so you ought not to try. You gotta utilize what’s inside you to create what you want to create. You gotta sort yourself out and sort the music you hear out. Then find something to hang your notes on. You hang your notes on your attitude and on yourself. If it don’t come out pure, it don’t come out good. I never took no lessons, but I got that attitude. - Duane Allman Aug 1 1971
