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."

Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm
There's a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark
Through the wind
Walk on
Through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on (walk on)
Oh, walk on (walk on, hold you head up)
When you walk
Through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid
Of the dark (walk, walk on up)
At the end of that storm
There's a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark
Walk on (walk on)
Through the wind (walk on)
Walk on (walk on)
Through the rain (walk on)
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on (walk on)
Walk on (walk on up)
With hope (walk on)
Hope in your heart (walk on up)
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone (walk through the wind, walk through the wind)

I Believe/You'll Never Walk Alone
I believe for every drop of rain that falls
A flower grows
I believe that somewhere in the darkest night
A candle glows
I believe for every one who goes astray
Someone will come
To show the way
I believe
I believe
I believe above the storm a smallest prayer
Will still be heard
And i believe that someone in the great somewhere
His everyword
Everytime i hear a newborn baby cry
Or touch a leaf
Or see a star
Then i know why
I believe
When you walk
Through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid
Of the dark
At the end of the storm
Is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark
Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed
And blown
Walk on
Walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone
I believe
I believe
I believe

Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid
Of the dark
At the end of the storm

And the sweet silver song of a lark

Walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed
And blown
Walk on
Walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone

A voice that is beyond compare! A wonderful human being who cares about the rights of the underprivileged, vulnerable, and marginalized sectors in society! Thank you, Barbra for everything you do!

She has divisive politics
Legendary Vocalists
I think she was near her 60s here, and yet sustained a flawless soft note with no major pitch oscillations for over 20 seconds... Her vocal control will always be unparalleled.

Sheâs obviously lip-synching over a pre-recorded live track, but amazing regardless.
Ulrich Schmidt
@Mariah G Isn't the term "pre-recorded live track" a contradictio in adiecto? :-)
Mariah G
@Ulrich Schmidt actually itâs not! Many artists record a âliveâ track during rehearsals, (sometimes in a studio) that will be played during the âliveâ performance without any major hiccups. They then lip sync over that track. Hence pre-recorded live track.
Ulrich Schmidt
@Mariah G Yeah, these terms are widely used, and by "general consent" everyone knows what they mean. But if you think about them more closely, you'll see that from a linguistic or purely logical point of view, they are indeed self-contradictory.
For example, even the term "live recording" is for me a contradictio in adiecto: either it is live, or it is a recording -- can't be both at the same time, because a "recording" is by definition exactly the opposite of "live"... :-)
Edit: by the way, I'm not saying that this is "bad" in some way. Many famous speakers -- from Cicero to Winston Churchill -- used contradictions in order to bring across their point in a more "catchy" way and to spice up their language. Life is not always "logical"...
Mariah G
@Ulrich Schmidt I mean Iâm just using a term, if you have an issue with the linguistics take it up with the industry? đ€·đ»ââïž I understand what youâre saying though, but kind of unsolicited since you completely know what Iâm talking about.
Happy holidays!

I think I was seven or eight the first time I saw her sing on tv and I felt like I was witnessing a miracle. Al Jarreau and Whitney Houston are the only others to repeat that feeling for me. Miraculous talents, all three.

What an intense performance from Barbra. I love it when she lets her guard down vocally , even if for only a second, it is worth 10 times that of other female vocalists of today. Bravo!
