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 ↴
Love, fresh as the morning air
One love that is shared by two
I have found with you
Hey
Like a rose under the April snow, oh, yeah, oh, yeah
I was always certain love would grow, oh
Seldom seen by two
You and I will make each night a first
Every day a new beginning oh
Every day a beginning
Darling, do you know you make my spirits rise?
Spirits rise and their dance is unrehearsed
Ooh, they warm and excite us, oh
'Cause we have the brightest love
Two lives that shine as one
Morning glory and midnight sun
(Time) Time, we've learned to sail above, oh, oh
(Time) Time won't change the meaning of, one love
Ageless and ever (ever, ever)
Evergreen (evergreen)
