    Hey you guys need to do Barbra Streisand’s video from the 1968 movie Funny Girl where she sings the song Don’t Rain on My Parade. It is probably her most famous song and she won the Oscar for that movie for best actress that year. The video is available on UA-cam and it is a true tour de force. Many singers have since tried to cover that song but nobody has ever done it like Barbra. I highly recommend it and I’m sure any true Barbra fan will tell you the exact same thing. You guys will not regret watching that video. Her voice is so powerful and she just lives that role! Great job, love you 2

    "Yentl" (1983) was the first film in Hollywood history that was written directed, produced, and starred in by the same talented woman-- BARBARA STREISAND. A period piece film, Eastern Europe 1904, story of a young Jewish woman not conforming to her religion's restrictions-- she wants to read and book learn. Nominated for a number of awards, Streisand won a Golden Globe for directing. Good for your movie channel.

    "Evergreen": Barbra not only sings it, she won an Oscar for writing it. Her co-author/composer was Paul Williams. He also wrote songs by The Carpenters, The Temptations, and The Muppets! Like Barbra, Paul is also an actor and singer. Barbra started her career on Broadway -- and it shows. A savvy business as well as artistic/creative performer, she made deals where she accepted less money in exchange for retaining control of her work. A practice that has profited her.

    "Somewhere" was written by Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim for the musical West Side Story, a retelling of the Romeo and Juliet story set in New York in the 1950s. Romeo was Tony, a white kid, and Juliet was Maria, a Puerto Rican beauty. The "Montague" faction was the American gang, The Jets, and the "Capulets" were the Puerto Rican gang, The Sharks. "Somewhere" is about trying to find a place of peace in a crazy world, a place of love...specifically for the star-crossed lovers, Tony and Maria.
    The show was known for its amazing choreography by choreographer and director Jerome Robbins, who also co-directed the first film version with Robert Wise in 1961. The first film starred Natalie Wood as Maria, Richard Beymer as Tony, Rita Moreno (who won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress as Anita), George Chakiris (who won an Oscar as Best Supporting Actor as Bernardo, head of the Sharks, and Maria's brother). The film is a classic and won 11 Oscars.
    There was a second version in 2021, directed by Steven Spielberg. Rita Moreno co-produced the film and appeared in it in a different role. Tony was played by Ansel Elgort (The Fault In Our Stars), Maria by Rachel Zegler in her film debut, and Anita was played by Ariana DeBose who also won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. The film was completed in time for Stephen Sondheim, the lyricist of the show, to see it. Sondheim died at age 91 in November 26, 2021. Spielberg's film opened on December 10, 2021. Sondheim loved the Spielberg film, but it still tanked at the box office.
    I am not a huge fan of the show, but both film versions are solid excellence, if different visions. Seeing them should be on the list, if not for the movie reaction channel, then for yourselves.
    As for Barbra Streisand...You must watch these films:
    - Funny Girl: Barbra's film debut, based on her breakthrough Broadway performance, she won the Oscar for Best Actress (actually sharing the award for the only time in Oscar history with Katherine Hepburn for The Lion In Winter). The best songs: The Greatest Star, People, Don't Rain On My Parade, and My Man.
    - Hello Dolly: Another Broadway musical adaptation. There are songs that will be familiar if you have seen Wall-E with the kids. The songs Put On Your Sunday Clothes and It Only Takes a Moment featured in Wall-E are from Hello Dolly, and specifically from the film version. It co-stars Walter Matthau (Max in the Grumpy Old Men movies).
    - The Way We Were - An Oscar-winning love story, with only the main theme song sung by Barbra...but it's also an Oscar winner. Robert Redford and Barbra are magic together.
    - A Star Is Born (1976) - One of the 4 versions of this story since the 1930s, this is the third. Barbra won an Oscar for Best Song for Evergreen. Co-starring Kris Kristofferson.
    - Yentl - Barbra's directorial debut, many wonderful songs, set in turn of the 20th Century Poland about a Jewish woman who disguises herself as a man to learn Talmudic law, against the traditions of her faith and community. Mandy Patinkin (Inigo Montoya in The Princess Bride) co-stars.
    - The Prince of Tides - My favorite film of Barbra's. Based on Pat Conroy's novel, Barbra directed Nick Nolte to an Oscar nomination as a Southern man confronting family secrets in order to help save his twin sister. She has a role in the film as the sister's psychiatrist and love interest to Nolte's character, but it is not a huge lead. Unfortunately, Nick Nolte lost the Oscar to Anthony Hopkins for The Silence of the Lambs. Beautiful story, visuals, and score.

    "Somewhere" is my favorite Barbra Streisand song. I'm so glad you reacted to it. This is one of many songs she recorded that really showcases her incredible voice. This song was originally in the classic Broadway Musical West Side Story. When Barbra Streisand does a cover version of any song, she owns it. No other version can compare.

    Just in case you didn't know, Barbra Streisand is regarded as one of the greatest singers in American history. When she started out performing onstage around 1960, and then in movies, she created a fan base that was huge and still is. My Aunt who lives in Chicago bought tickets to see her in New York. She took a flight out there just to hear Barbra Streisand sing. She's that popular!

    Streisand was the best voice of her generation. Check out Don’t Rain on My Parade. It’s from Funny Girl, the Broadway show that launched her to stardom. It’s unbelievable. Also, if you’re in a Broadway chantreuse groove, check out Edina Menzel who originated the role of Elphaba in Wicked (the one who’s all green). Try Defying Gravity from that show. She’s the Streisand of a later generation: power, control, enormous range and enormous heart. Enjoy!

She was a gigantic star on Broadway by the time she was 22 years old in 1964 and had already started winning Grammies and Emmys. You should watch the movie Funny Girl. It started her career as a Broadway play in 64 and then was a movie in 1967 I believe and was a big hit and she got the Oscar for that. She’s been making records and movies ever since. She is a true GOAT. She runs circles around Celine and all the others. They bow to her.
