There is a reason she is the greatest star. She was 23 here. She is mesmerizing.truly a once in a lifetime phenomenon.The greatest female vocalist ever,in my opinion.
Absolutely the BEST version of this song she ever did on record. I bet there were so many other versions in unrecorded live performances on Broadway or TV that we'll never see.... But THIS is the BEST we have. For sure. I'll draw my sword and fight on that! lol
Agreed. Hands down the best version. Her tone and placement as she sings that final verse cannot be matched. It’s just technically perfect, stunningly beautiful, and deeply felt.
Even as a 7 year old boy from the midwest who spent summers riding bicycles or swimming in creeks and winters throwing snowballs at girls, I by chance caught Barbra's showcase tv premiere and knew I was watching something special. I was spellbound.
Barbra was only 4 days into being 23 years old when this tv special aired on April 28, 1965. She was born April 24, 1942. So, she was actually only 22 here. It really is quite an accomplishment at such a young age. // Incidentally, she looks absolutely stunning in the closeups. In fact radiant.
What's striking to me about her as she rocketed to stardom back in the early 1960s was her supreme confidence at such a young age, not a bit shy or intimidated by older professionals.
@@SteffiReitsch It is very possible that she developed a strong defense against any judgement directed at her when she was growing up. She could have withered from the taunts and mean remarks. Instead she focused on her dream and with that dedication she triumphed.
Let’s just say this girl and my art teacher, Miss Ethel M.C.Davis, molded my whole world when I was 16! I threw out all my opera records as I cried, “I’m doing this for you Barbra”! OK, not really, but I put them in the attic.

Barbara’s voice on this version of People is so stunningly beautiful as not to be believed.
Oh my god p, this voice comes once in a billion years… what a talent

I agree totally!
Agreed! I’ve always thought this song should have a really strong (not soft) finish which she does here. Love it.

She truly took her time with this Version. It is the very best
What she does at 02:06 with "a feeling", takes you right into the feels. Uniquely Barbra.
I've never heard her go up on all those high notes at the end like that!
Even at that early stage in her career, her craft is impeccable. Destined to be star of stars.
Of all the times I've heard Barbra sing People, that is my favorite rendition...!
She also plays with the tempo like she wrote the song ugh i love her
truly sounds like an angel from heaven god sent.
what a set design, super classy!!
It’s almost like hearing Pavarotti sing “Nessun Dorma”. Thrilling!
No one owns & interprets a song like Barbra. The master!!!!!
She has the most beautiful voice and the most beautiful eyes
And her nose! I love her 😢
I agree her eyes are amazing
All those musicians with her just so beautifull! You don't see much these days!
The whole orchestra is playing by memory?????!!!! That’s crazy……really great all around performance by all 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I wish music was like this today ❤

The way she dances and owns the stage. It’s her playground. Amazing even when she’s nervous she can have the most fun impeccable performance

Boa noite 💤💤💤💤 beijos 💋💋💋
Surely this is dubbed, because the orchestra players are not reading music!
Nope, filmed live.
She sang live to recorded tracks. TV magic but LIVE singing.
Live singing, live orchestra. End of conversation.
None of these musicians would have any difficulty whatever memorizing 3 minutes of music.
