ABOUT BARBRA STREISAND'S BEAUTIFUL SONGS

It took her over 60 years to compose and sing these beautiful songs, and even if I were a musical genius, it would take me at least 30 years to master all these beautiful songs.

So, I am not in a position to evaluate her singing right now, and I will have to enjoy her beautiful singing for another 30 years or so before I can make any evaluation.

Then, 30 years later, I think I will be able to tell my children something beautiful about her songs.

So now, I am listening to her beautiful songs every day like an elementary school student, appreciating them and receiving warm encouragement.

Thank you!

"Her name is Barbra Streisand. She is 20 years old, she has a three-octave promiscuity of range, she packs more personal dynamic power than anybody I can recall since Libby Holman or Helen Morgan. She can sing as loud as Ethel Merman and as persuasively as Lena or Ella, or as brassy as a Sophie Tucker ... and only Barbra Streisand can turn 'Cry Me a River' into something comparable to Enrico Caruso having his first bash at Pagliacci. When Streisand cries you a river, you got a river, Sam ... and she will be around 50 years from now if good songs are still written to be sung by good singers." — Syndicated columnist Robert Ruark, on her 1963 performances at the Blue Angel.
