    Early Barbra...theatrical! BIG voice you almost would not recognize hearing her later in her career!...this is why she lasted nearly SIX DECADES in show biz...she acts the song as much as she sings it

    • @BroadwayGuy

      I'd like to point out that since Barbra started out wanting to be an actress (not a singer per say), her early mentor Barry Dennen advised her to approach each song as if it were a play. Dennen introduced her to the songs and great singers of the 1920's and 1930's, and helped her develop her own distinctive style. Her "theatricality" did not just come out of nowhere. IT was developed and refined.

The depth and understanding she inserts into the lyrics as well as the control of her voice at that age... incomprehensible! Thanks again, Gustavo!

    In the program notes for Barbra's Kennedy Center honor, Marilyn Bergman (lyricist, "The Way We Were," & the Yentl score) wrote that Streisand was "never a diamond in the rough." Indeed she seems to have emerged with her incomparable vocal and acting arsenals ready to do her bidding at 18. It's as if we were waiting for her, and we didn't even realize it. Somehow, she realized it.

    I am listening to her biography on Audible. The author asserts that Barbara (orginal spelling) did not care about singing in the beginning, she only used it to fund her actiing aspirations. I don't think she had any vocal training as a young woman and she was just a little tiny thing. But that is one HUGE voice. She only started to appreciate her vocal talent when it was explained that singing was just another form of acting. Natural talent just amazes me.

    4/27/24: She sings the heck out of this song every time, but my favorite rendition was when she sang it in "A Happening in Central Park", umm...she MEANT every word and her facial and hand expressions, especially the part where she sang, "And NOW you say you love me"...WOW, she blew me away! Her flair for enunciating each and every word is phenomenal. Unlike today's music where you have to rewind 'cause, if not, you misunderstand the word the artist was singing, especially in rap, IF you like rap; I don't. Oy Vey! Anyway, my girl, Barbra, I'm a die-hard fan and always will be. Love you! ♥

    I love Barbra but it is just so out of the character of the song for me. It's almost overwrought but I admire her having such a distinctive take and committing. Still more than anything it makes me want to hear the original. Julie London getting close to the mike to use her "thimbleful" of a voice get that "over smoked" intimacy that is distinctively hers. London reportedly liked Streisand and I wouldn't be surprised if it was in part because of this cover which is a 180 degree departure from her own version. London's "Warm December" from her most iconic album "Calendar Girl" gets a bit of airplay this time of year, give it a listen if you get the chance it's the perfect antidote to most Christmas music. Kudos to Barbra for always being an original. I haven't delved into the book yet but I loved hearing her talk about Judy Garland on Stern.
