I only have her singing the title theme from Eyes of Laura Mars, but some of those album covers have me tempted.

Her first 2 LPs are classics in the genre of unrestrained (nearly giddy) girl-singer enthusiasm and are right up there with "She's So Unusual" or Madonna's debut. And the cover of her second was my contribution to the "Truly Sexy Album Cover" thread!

Then sbe turned 21, and got kinda boring...

one year passes...
TWO CLASSICS FROM LADY S:

(1) Stoney End (1971) - surprisingly rich country (pedal steel) / soul (horns) / pop (tunes) set, much of it fantastic - check out Harry Nilsson's "Maybe", Randy Newman's "I'l Be Home", Carole King's "No Easy Way Down", plus Joni Mitchell, Gordon Lightfoot, Laura Nyro, Kurt Weill etc. Nice cover too.

(2) What's Up Doc? (1972) - Bogdanovich's screwball homage, still very much underrated - both Streisand and Ryan O'Neal (et al) very lovable and very funny.


Rest dud, natch.

two years pass...
C/D: Barbra Streisand Broadway Covers;

I'll start.
"As If We Never Said Goodbye" - Classic
"Music of the Night" - Dud
"Being Alive" - 50% Dud, then 50% Classic
"Something's Coming" - Dud
"Send In the Clowns" - Classic

Seems I like her much more when she's doing those soaring show-stoppers, and I don't really like her covers of originally male-sung tunes (like "Lady Luck" and "Some Enchanted Evening"). I would love to hear her do a cover of "The Miller's Son" which I bet would be even better than "Send In the Clowns."

I dated a guy a few years ago who played the album on which "Life On Mars?" is found; almost jumped out the window.

Babs is not fond of it either.

My two cents:

Get Live at the Bon Soir instead of her actual debut album.
My Name is Barbra and Color Me Barbra are great examples of her classic style.
Stoney End is perhaps the most successful of her "contemporary" albums.

Barbra Streisand... and other musical instruments is her most bizarre album.

Chris Molanphy's Hit Parade podcast just had an episode on her music and chart career, and I learned quite a lot!

I'm waiting for the biog to come out in paperback because i don't care who you are, that hardback can not be easily read by a human.

piscesx, Tuesday, 20 February 2024 16:13 (two years ago)

Chris made the case for its best form being audiobook, not least because song clips are part of it. Based on the shared snippet I'm inclined to agree!

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 20 February 2024 16:16 (two years ago)

Damn yeah that does sound good. Bono's is like that, so it must be A New Thing these days.

piscesx, Tuesday, 20 February 2024 16:27 (two years ago)

lol at Roslyn Kind up there, she's such a total half-Barbra!

one year passes...

I'd seen The Way You Were so many years ago that I remembered nothing except the ending and the early scene where the bluebloods heckle Babs at the rally. A lot of it is tripe, but...woof, talk about the miracles of star acting. Streisand is earnest, likable, and weird. Redford does some of his best acting when he argues with her or in that final ending when he realizes they're completely over as a couple.

Sydney Pollack complained that preview audiences hated the political stuff, but, really, I chow down on any movie with an extended scene about people's reaction to FDR's death.

Let us also consider what wonders Wikipedia reveals:

The following year, Stark asked Laurents if he was interested in adapting the original film for a stage musical starring Kathie Lee Gifford.

Sold!

seven months pass...

never really listened to her before but "Evergreen" is pretty amazing during the climax. she goes back and forth between this awesome high intensity celine dion thing and this gorgeous melty mellifluous olivia newton john warmth, with grace and fluidity. Is Streisand at her best during the big moments like these? when she's just singing all regular and mellow it's pretty boring, but when she pulls out all the stops here it's really awesome.
