you know i've been wondering if i should explore Barbra's catalog! i do love her voice.

My two cents:
Get Live at the Bon Soir instead of her actual debut album.My Name is Barbra and Color Me Barbra are great examples of her classic style.Stoney End is perhaps the most successful of her "contemporary" albums.
Barbra Streisand... and other musical instruments is her most bizarre album.

Chris Molanphy's Hit Parade podcast just had an episode on her music and chart career, and I learned quite a lot!

I'm waiting for the biog to come out in paperback because i don't care who you are, that hardback can not be easily read by a human.

Chris made the case for its best form being audiobook, not least because song clips are part of it. Based on the shared snippet I'm inclined to agree!

Damn yeah that does sound good. Bono's is like that, so it must be A New Thing these days.
