How many people in Broadway plays became such phenomenal stars as rapidly as she did? Everyone knew she had extraordinary talent from the very beginning.
It is one of my life's greatest blessings that I got to see that magical young woman perform Funny Girl live on Broadway. I was 17, it was June, 1965. As one critic said of "My Name Is Barbra": "She is so great it is shocking, something like being in love." She was the definition of charisma--pure magic onstage. You couldn't take your eyes off her; it was like watching a miracle. And then there was the voice. There will only be one Barbra. :)
I am incredibly jealous!! I am about to go see the current revival for the 4th time. I loved this as a little girl so it feels like magic to see it on stage. Thank you for sharing 🥺💕
I can’t even imagine seeing Barbra perform live on Broadway! 💕 I wasn’t even born yet, but my mother must have been listening to Barbra records when I was in utero!
@@CH67guy1 It was a thrill, a great privilege and a blessing. I'm glad I was a teenager and old enough to remember the experience very well. Of course that must mean I'm not exactly a spring chicken either--ha! Cheers!
This small segment contains my favorite streisand effect...on the words " i know hes around etc..." I feel she expresses romantic yearning in its truest essence. Stunning.
Argumentative, temperamental, opinionated, refusing to follow direction, and oh yes, a perfectionist. The mark of genius. She experienced the rarest of occasions, the converging of her planets, and was in the right place, at the right time. The rest is, of course, history. No one, in music or the theater in our lifetimes will be greater in my eyes.
@@chrislandis6873 I haven’t read her bio, so I’m wondering whether she had a voice coach or other voice instruction to improve her performance? This might sound odd, but who could ever coach one of the greatest voices ever? But I suppose, for example, that you don’t need to be an olympic gold medalist to qualify to coach that person who very well may be a future olympic gold medalist.
she has stayed this age thanks to this and other clips. but, I know what you mean...and agree. I think this, at the time of the original production, she had not yet developed her fear of performing and was able to allow us to see more of her personality. plus...that brilliant voice back then, maybe also, bc fear wasn't in the way
Barbra is definitely one of a kind having such a unique beautiful voice, perfect phrasing and octave range. Also, a versatile actress and comedienne, and maintains her professionalism and class.......and yes, she's one pretty gal.
My parents made us watch this. The Beatles were huge and it would have take a bomb to pull me apart from the Fab Four but I remember this this night. Even at that age I knew I was seeing excellence on a level I could connect with. She was odd and captivating. When she did "My Man" the bomb was dropped and even my Dad turned up the volume.
I was a die hard Beatles girl and I don’t think I appreciated Barbary’s genius back the. Listening to her book brought me here and now I have goosebumps.
Happy eightieth birthday to our beloved Barbra in 2022 - it's hard to believe, but the years have flown by for her - along with all of the rest of us! Bless her incredible talent for always! Thank God for the magic of these recordings.
I admire so much how much thought and concentration Barbra always has put into her preparation and love for a song or concert she puts together or decides to perform. What a most perfect blend of new voice, musical production style and ‘60s energy she was at the time! No other artists of her era, except along with Sinatra and Garland IMO, could act their songs like she could. ❤
What an amazing woman. People like her don't come along that often. I feel blessed to be on this planet at the same time as her...even been in the same building as her twice! Two concerts and two nights imprinted in my memory i will take to my grave. Busy reading her autobiography. Its beyond fascinating. Go out and buy it. What a life!
i just watched it had to be you and michael du blei, i loved as this on funny girl! i am ready your book! it is incredible how in late 70's is incredible!
Ich habe meinen Jahrgang 1967 aber ich finde dich Hammer Hammer Hammer immer wieder Hammer egal was du machst bitte bleib bei uns mach ein neues Lied bitte bitte bitte eine Stimme wie dich brauchen wir❤❤
she is one of two great broadway female leads who was stolen too early, too young to reach anything close to her potential on the boards.a supporting role in '...Wholesale' in 61-63 then this in 1964 -65 She did a brief revival in london but got pregnant. she was finished with stage musicals by july 1966. movies, concerts and the recording studio stole her away. the other such talent was carol burnett . television took her.
That is a point of view that I don't usually hear. Thank you for sharing. Do you feel that the stage lost more than television/movies/music gained with Carol and Barbra?
@@SomeDaysYoureBarbra It did not have to be either/or. You can imagine there might be roles in musical theater perfect for Streisand that never saw the same acclaim because there was no superstar as a draw. How many projects were either never written or stayed in drawers because this unique talent went entirely West Coast? I also wonder what Streisand lost by not acting more with a live audience. So many actors maintain returning to the stage periodically is a tonic to keep you spontanious and connected. Carol's TV shows were always taped with a live audience, so Carol never missed that. If Barbra had insisted on a little more balance, there would have been more than one tony award sitting in her home today. Maybe she just did not like Broadway because the commitment level to each project is different from movies. Its also harder on the voice with 8 performances a week singing in character without the same amplification that a recording studio or concert provided back then.
In her autobiography Barbra woite that she came to hate performing night after night on the Broadway stage. A good part of that was the trouble with her co-star Sidney Chaplin. He was determined to sabotage her.
Am I crazy for thinking this is one of the most incredible displays of musical talent I've ever heard?
You’re not crazy. And it’s not just her musical talent, but the whole package. She’s absolutely gorgeous and so very charming.
It's stunning
How many people in Broadway plays became such phenomenal stars as rapidly as she did? Everyone knew she had extraordinary talent from the very beginning.
when there's real talent, it starts young.
She's what, 22 years old??? Amazing.
She's doing 8 shows a week, and makes the masterpiece in her time off. Astounding.
Before Barbra, no one sang like her. No one has since, and no one ever will.
Agreed 100%

I was 18 and saw it in June 1965, too. It was incredible.

People use to ask me why I chose Barbra Streisand to be a fan of.......I tell them to see this video and then ask themselves why they are not.

Agreed. She is absolute perfection here.
What a beautiful expression 💗 of her talent. Gorgeously written.

Streisand's a magnificent musical instrument. I've been a big fan for 57 years.
Argumentative, temperamental, opinionated, refusing to follow direction, and oh yes, a perfectionist. The mark of genius.

How many of us wish Barbra could have stayed this age FOREVER?
her voice got infinitely better 10 yrs later. she peaked 1973- 1983

@@CH67guy1 she got better with age. i think just going from early 20s to late 20s and 30s made a difference in her tone.

Never will there be a more perfect entertainer! A gift to the universe for decades and forever ❤
She was stunning! Nose and all! I absolutely love her face when she was younger

Barbra was BEAUTIFUL in the 1960's!
She still is lol
Sooo hot

The phenomenon that was streisand in the ‘60’s. The obc album of funny girl is perfection.
She is quite simply amazing.
Originally telecast on April 28, 1965.
She was on "What's My Line" a few days before that. Available on TH-cam as well.

Extraordinary spectacular talent of a century! No one ever like her!

It's always fascinated me how long her fingers are.
Especially the last scene in "greatest star"
❤💜
Love everything about Barbra, she’s incredibly talented and smart!
I am happy you are enjoying the channel. :)
