Barbra Streisand Biography
Barbra Streisand's status as one of the most successful singers of
her generation was remarkable not only because her popularity was
achieved in the face of a dominant musical trend -- rock & roll --
which she did not follow, but also because she used her vocal skills as a
mere stepping stone to other careers, as a stage and film actress and
as a film director. Born in 1942 and raised in Brooklyn, NY, she
struggled briefly as an actress and nightclub singer in New York during
the early '60s before landing her first part in a Broadway show, I Can
Get It for You Wholesale, in 1962. The cast album for that show, as well
as a subsequent appearance on a studio revival of Pins and Needles,
were her first recordings. Signed to Columbia Records, she released her
first album, The Barbra Streisand Album, in 1963. It became a Top Ten,
gold-selling record, thus paving the way for Streisand's status as one
of the best-selling recording artists of the early '60s.
But
despite three successful albums by early 1964, Streisand turned her back
on potentially lucrative concert bookings in favor of a starring role
in the Broadway show Funny Girl, in which she appeared for more than two
years. "People" from that show became her first Top Ten single, and the
People album her first chart-topping LP. She turned to television in
1965 with My Name Is Barbra, the first of five network specials. In
1967, Streisand went to Hollywood to film Funny Girl, for which she
would win an Academy Award. But by 1970, with her second and third films
flops and her recording career flagging in the face of rock, she seemed
consigned to Las Vegas before turning 30. Instead, she returned to
hit-making with a Top Ten cover of Laura Nyro's "Stoney End" and a
successful non-singing performance in the comedy The Owl and the
Pussycat.
In the 1970s, Streisand successfully married her musical
and film acting interests, first in The Way We Were, a hit film with a
theme song that became her first number one single, and then with A Star
Is Born, which featured her second number one single, "Evergreen," a
song she co-wrote. From that point on, every album she released sold at
least a million copies. In the late '70s, she found recording success in
collaboration: her duet with Neil Diamond, "You Don't Bring Me
Flowers," hit number one, as did "No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)," a
dance record sung with Donna Summer. She had her biggest-selling album
in 1980 with Guilty, which was written and produced by Barry Gibb of the
Bee Gees and contained the number one hit "Woman in Love." In 1983,
Streisand's first directorial effort, Yentl, became a successful film
with a Top Ten soundtrack album. In 1985, The Broadway Album returned
her to the top of the charts. 1991 saw the release of Just for the
Record..., a boxed set retrospective, and her second film as a director,
The Prince of Tides. Streisand returned to the concert stage in 1994,
resulting in the Top Ten, million-selling album The Concert. In 1996,
she directed her third film, The Mirror Has Two Faces, and in 1999 she
released A Love Like Ours.
Timeless: Live in Concert, which was
recorded at her Las Vegas show on New Year's Eve 1999, was released on
both CD and DVD in 2000. A year later, the new holiday album Christmas
Memories arrived, followed in 2003 by a sequel to The Broadway Album
entitled The Movie Album. A deluxe CD/DVD reissue of the original Guilty
appeared in 2005 and was followed a month later by Guilty Pleasures, a
new album that reunited Streisand with Gibb. She returned to the concert
stage in 2006, a move that was documented in the 2007 Sony release Live
in Concert. For her final release of the decade, Streisand turned her
attention to jazz standards, and Love Is the Answer found her singing
such songs as "Here's to Life" and "In the Wee Small Hours."
