Barbara Jones Streisand was born on
April 24th 1942 in Brooklyn New York as
a teen she started singing in local
nightclubs and acting in theatrical
productions in the early 1960s she
landed her first Broadway role in a
musical called
I can get it for you wholesale he had
her grammy-winning debut the Barbra
Streisand album came out in 1963 this
was followed by two extremely successful
records the second Barbra Streisand
album and the third album in 1964
Streisand returned to Broadway
in the musical funny girl four years
later she won an Oscar for reprising
this role in its film adaptation was
that necessary
it couldn’t block over here like a pison
Streisand had her first number one album
with 1964 people and its title cut
subsequently became one of her signature
tunes
up next was a string of highly
successful albums that were tied in with
television specials the most significant
was the Emmy winning program my name is
Barbara which helped turn stride men
into a star
Oh

she reached number one again in 1967
with a Christmas album two years later
Streisand switched gears and recorded
modern pop songs on the commercially
disappointing album what about today
however she proved herself a pop force
with 1971 s Stoney end to keep up with
her acting career Streisand appeared in
such films as the oscar-winning Hello
Dolly and the Golden Globe winning the
Owl and the Pussycat I’m suggesting that

by the 1970s she was proclaimed the most
successful female singer in the u.s.
many of the hits that led to her
extraordinary record sales came from the
soundtracks of her films examples

were evergreen loved theme from a star

soundtrack of the same name I can
I got a gun away other successful
singles included her duet with Neil
Diamond you don’t bring me flowers

directed and starred in she became the
first woman to win a Best Director

don’t know you kissed her York arresting
you held her hey don’t walk that wrong
everything just like you said what else
do you want to know
did she make sounds though did she
scream screaming that you went to sleep
she went back to making music in 1984
with the effort emotion this was
followed by 1985’s the Broadway album
this record discarded the rock and disco
vibe Streisand had adopted and marked a
return to her musical theatre roots

in 1988 she released the album till I
loved you in 1991 she directed produced
and starred in the oscar-nominated movie
