Hands down - one of greatest female voices ever. A legend - 2 Oscars, multiple Golden Globes, Grammys and Emmys, the National Medal of Arts, the Presidential Medal of Freedom... just to name a few awards she collected 😊😊
I was 26 then & really adored her voice wherever or whatever she did. Sensational to see all those famous people - tha audience, so many famous people!! It must have been a bit of nervousness for her, then again, maybe not. Excellent Barbra & excellent audience!!! 💖💖
This song was written for the 1957 Broadway musical, "West Side Story," which became a motion picture in 1961, and remade in 2021. The song was written by Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim. Barbra hadn't perform live for pay, since 1968 when she developed stage fright after performing in front of 150,000 people at the "A Happening in Central Park" concert, with the exception for a couple of shows in Las Vegas to open The International Hotel in 1969/1970. [Elvis Presley was the second solo artist to perform at the newly opened hotel, opening a 7-year residency... and there's a whole story that's quite interesting about when those two met.] So other than those Las Vegas performances which Barbra was committed to, she never again sang live for pay since then, until her return to the stage in 1993. She would only do charitable events like benefits and fundraisers, like the "One Voice" concert. The more you hear and watch Barbra perform, the more you will be amazed and hooked on this woman's massive talent, not only as a singer, but as an actor, producer, director, writer, designer, and philanthropist. So strap in and enjoy the ride... you've missed a lot.
Barbara est une légende, une merveilleuse chanteuse et même si je suis française, j'étais adolescente mais je me souviens bien d'elle, je l'aimais déjà beaucoup étant jeune et encore plus en grandissant. Elle est avec Whitney, Ginette Reno et Lara Fabian une de mes chanteuses préférées, une des rares à toucher mon âme si profondément.
So to inform you the concert did work and was a huge success raising over 1.5 million dollars which would equal to about 43 million today. The money went towards the Barbra Streisand Foundation that supports environmental issues, women’s issues, civil liberties, AIDS research, children and youth, Ukrainian refugees, Israeli refugees, and much more. Her activism and her philanthropy makes her an exceptional human in addition to her sensational talent as a singer, actress and director.
Barbara Streisand es una de las voces más increíbles ,una cantante, directora de cine, maravillosa 🤩👏👏👏👏 gracias a ella , Lara Fabian decide convertirse en cantante ( the Queen 👑) quiere hacer lo que hace Barbara Streisand ,su ídolo 😊❤
Barbra Streisand’s fear of the world situation was greater than her fear of performing live. To benefit the Hollywood Women’s Political Committee and raise money for six Democratic senatorial candidates, Barbra opened her Malibu ranch to a bevy of guests, press, movie stars, and politicians. “This is more money than women have ever raised in history,” said Marilyn Bergman to the L.A. Times. Bergman, a member of HWPC, and Streisand’s friend, was an instrumental behind-the-scenes force in creating the concert. The price to attend was $5,000 per couple. Marilyn Bergman recalled, “When Chernobyl happened, I remember Barbra calling me that morning-I was in New York at the time. She was, as we all were, very upset. It was a kind of a jolt, if we needed any reminder, that we were living in dangerous times: nuclear weapons and nuclear facilities that were like ticking bombs.” “Anyway,” Bergman said, “I remember it was kind of a wake up call. The election was impending. We decided that we really wanted to be a factor or a force in electing some Democratic Senators to take back the Senate. So the idea of a fundraiser came up and Barbra said that she would sing. We started with the idea of doing it in a bigger venue. [Barbra] was reluctant to do that, probably for a lot of reasons. We ended up building an amphitheater in her backyard [seating approximately 500]. It was like a meadow in the back of her ranch that she had in Malibu. “I’m so glad that it was documented on record and on video. And I’m also glad that we got the Senate back, and I think [One Voice] was a big piece of that - it was in California, I know that.” In August 1986 the Hollywood Women’s Political Committee sent a unique invitation in the mail. Inside a paisley-patterned tin box was an invitation and a cassette tape from Barbra Streisand! Marilyn Bergman fondly remembered that “we went down to the Flower Walk in Los Angeles and we bought hundreds of little tin paisley boxes. We filled them with potpourri and Barbra made cassettes-individual cassettes-in which she spoke the introduction to the evening. Then she personalized them and put everybody’s name on them. They were hand delivered. Who could turn that down?” Michael Fuchs, head of cable channel HBO, paid $250,000 toward the costs of mounting the concert, plus a very large amount of money for the rights to broadcast the concert on HBO once. Streisand’s manager Marty Erlichman said, “When I first called Michael Fuchs at HBO and asked him if he’d be interested he said, ‘You’ve got to be kidding.’ Then when I told him the total price, he said, ‘You’ve got to be kidding!’” The most amazing part of the deal that was struck was that if Barbra did not approve of her performance, then she was not committed to air the show! The expense of videotaping the concert would be lost by HBO. “Barbra has the right for a few days to look at it,” Fuchs said. Of course, Barbra did approve the footage, and a television special was assembled for airing in December. Comic Robin Williams (dressed in white) opened the show with one of his ad-libbed monologues. He was obviously intimidated by the powerful Hollywood stars in the audience. He joked, “I see people out there who can say ‘I don't want him, get someone different!’” When the concert began, Streisand emerged from a cloud of white smoke as her 8-piece band played “Somewhere.” The fashion theme of the evening was white - Streisand wore an off-white, knit outfit. Streisand’s concert ensemble was created by Judy Graham - “Hollywood Knitter to the Stars.” Graham was on the Warner Brothers lot when she was approached (probably by Renata Buser) to create an outfit that would be “casual yet sophisticated, like a long skirt and top to match.” Graham was invited to Barbra’s house in Beverly Hills to consult. “We talked for awhile. She was lovely,” Graham wrote on her website. “We/she decided on a long off-white cream-colored silk/wool skirt with a ¾ length sleeve and a folded turtle neck with buttons up the back. The yarn was from a now out of business wholesale supplier, but similar yarns are now available in local yarn stores. There were several meetings and fittings.” Graham noted that “Miss Streisand knew exactly what she wanted and I was there to make sure she got it.” The beading on the shoulders was to be done by Streisand’s team, so Judy Graham dropped off the outfit and also found herself invited to Barbra’s dress rehearsal. The only wrinkle in the story was that Graham discovered Streisand had commissioned three other outfits and that she would decide on the final one at the dress rehearsal (which would be videotaped). Graham and her husband took their seat in the amphitheater built for the concert. “Her backyard was the size of a small park. Suddenly the music started and the full moon became visible. There was a cloud of smoke and she entered wearing the outfit I had made!! It was a thrilling night,” Graham said. The next night when Streisand performed for her invited guests, there were many famous faces in the audience - the cameras captured glimpses of Goldie Hawn, Bruce Willis, Sydney Pollack, Burt Bacharach, Jane Fonda and Penny Marshall. At one point, after Barbra sang “People,” the camera focused briefly on Barbra’s son, Jason Gould, in the audience. Producer Gary Smith confessed that different introductions to the songs were staged for the television special - less political and not specifically about Democratic fundraising. Barbra told Rosie O’Donnell that they used the dress rehearsal performance of “America” in the final version of the TV show. During the actual September 6th performance, the audience stood and Barbra could not see her beloved TelePrompTer so she forgot the words! Barbra Streisand sang two Judy Garland/Harold Arlen songs that evening, “Over the Rainbow” and “A New World” (from Garland's A Star is Born, 1954). Another highlight of the evening was the special guest appearance of Barry Gibb. It had been 6 years since their top-selling album, Guilty, had debuted. The two artists never sang together on stage, but took the time on September 6th to remedy that. Barbra began the first verse of “Guilty” alone on stage, asking the audience coyly, “Wanna dance?” She seemed to be searching for a duet partner. When it came time for the second verse, Barry’s voice can be heard offstage. Barbra acted surprised, then turned to the back of the stage, where Gibb appeared ... dressed in white. The two dueted on “Guilty,” with Barbra bobbing up and down. Afterwards, she told Barry, “I love your voice, I love singing with you.” Then they took their places at the stool and sang a dramatic “What Kind of Fool.” At the end of the song (“There was a time when we were down and out...”) they faced each other in profile and let each other’s hands go. “Who’s sorry now?” Barry left the stage. 19 years later, he recorded the Guilty Pleasures album with Barbra. On September 7th, the day after the concert, Barbra taped an interview for the Today Show. Gloria Steinem and Barbra toured the amphitheater in Barbra's back yard. As for HBO, Barbra agreed to proceed to make the One Voice concert into a television special. HBO announced that the special would broadcast on December 27, 1986. Barbra and Richard Baskin began post-production work on One Voice. The One Voice CD and VHS home video were released in April 1987. One Voice debuted on DVD in 2006. Proceeds from the sale of the CD and the home video of the special went to the Barbra Streisand Foundation.
bonjour, avec barbra streisand tu as touché le sommet de la pyramide, elle est la "grande sœur ou la maman" des "Whitney, maria, lara , celine etc.....
LOL I was a 15 year old in 1977 when I became a fan of Barbra..but then again..I was always unusual in my musictaste. Btw you have heard Sydnie's gorgeous version of "Tomorrow"..check out Streisand singing Tomorrow live in 1978!
Yes.... I was looking for such a comment. Barbra had stage-fright. Yet you never knew it on anything nor of course in all her movies.... Each special usually a fund-raising for charity and some political ones.... she sung in are/were special events. Sadly, very few of these videos can be reacted to, but for some TV awards shows and a couple she allows.
Hello, beautiful teacher, I am your loyal fan, because Zhou Shen's latest release of a Spanish song, I would like you to reflect, the song name: la danza del dios sol.
Watch and listen to Ukrainian Carpetman. He may really surprise you. I think you will be interested. Carpetman- FEEL SO COLD Carpetman - Endless fight Carpetman - You Will Never Know It
"By my silence, I was giving consent .... " (4:20) The sheer arrogance (and it's only gotten worse0,. BTW, has she left the country yet (if Trump wins (as promised)?
The greatest singer of all!

Barbra suffers from severe stage fright. She vowed never to sing in public again. She's overcome it now, but it was a bad issue at one time.
She sure did try..Barbra raised 25 million dollars for charities through live concerts and many times besides that gifted money to all kinds of causes
She had a crippling fear of performing in crowds.
Wow really? she seemed sooooooooooo comfortable
Yes.... I was looking for such a comment. Barbra had stage-fright. Yet you never knew it on anything nor of course in all her movies....
