Yes! She started her legendary career on Broadway & became a huge star there before going on to conquer all other platforms. She's an EGOT winner (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony) meaning she's won EVERY major award from all the major mediums - TV, music, movies, Broadway! This song is from an album of Broadway songs from the 80s, & was one of the most succesful albums that year, both commercially & critically. It was #1 on the album charts & won several Grammys.
She’s a Broadway, Movie, Pop. Superstar! She won all the awards an artist dream of. She’s a singer, actress, director, songwriter winning Grammy’s, Golden Globe, Oscar’s two time best actress. ALL, Tony’s, Sir Olivier. She’s the biggest star - entertainers entertainer, command the highest grossing concert of all time for a woman, you can check it out. Idolized by Actors and actresses in Hollywood. She’s a living legend, and an icon. Box office Queen. I’ve seen her live in concert twice. And her voice is immaculate. Hands down. I’m young but I lover her as an actress, as a singer and as a performer. The greatest star in her generation. Excellence is what Barbra can give as a talent. Unparalleled!
You are right. Barbra came from the theatre. She only did 2 broadway shows, both were hits, before she transitioned to movies. Barbra achieved every major award in show business by the time she was 27.
I have to say I just love watching your reaction to Barbra when you listen to her sing. I am a 60 year old white man who has loved her my whole life and to see young men of color just now finding out who she is how amazing her voice was brings me much joy. If you want to hear an incredible song she did in 1970 I believe find the song Since I Fell For You. This will blow your mind. Thank you, I’m glad I came across your videos. Be blessed
With Barbara Streisand singing Memory it might well be the most beautiful or greatest song ever sung by one of the greatest singer's ever. For me there have and are some great singers. I agree with you young man no one can match this voice and it is the voice that is the judge. A voice that is like no-other
She starred in one of the biggest Broadway musical hits of the 60's... "Funny Girl". Which is also a movie starring her... rated as one of the greatest movie musicals ever. She had sold out tours all the way through the 80s, her own television specials in the '60s that showcased her amazing talent. She is one of the most acclaimed singers of the past 50 years. A living legend. The Fockers stuff is just something she was talked into doing in her retirement. It's nothing compared to the *extraordinary* career she's had singing. Check out "The Way We Were" by her. Which btw, was also a movie starring her in the '70s with Robert Redford.
She started on Broadway with a small number called „Miss Marmelstein“ from the musical „I can get it for you Wholesale“ at age 19 and she stopped the show! After that she got her own musical named „Funny Girl“ which was a huge success and you should really watch the movie „Funny Girl“ from 1968 - you will enjoy it very much. She never returned to the theater stage because she does not like doing the same stuff the same way every night. In addition she has major stage fright. But nevertheless, you are right: she IS Broadway ❤️
Streisand is considered one of the greatest singers of all time and one of the biggest stars of all time. She started on broadway in the early 60s. She was nominated for a Tony but didn’t win. She won an Oscar for best leading actress in 1968 for her first movie. She received Emmies for a series of specials she did in the 1960s. She’s one of the best selling singers of all time and has number one albums every decade since the 1960s. And she’s won a bunch of Grammies. She’s one of the first women to direct, act and produce. Streisand paved the way for women like Madonna, Gaga, Swift, Beyoncé etc who called their own shots and blazed their own trails. Next, try Sarah Vaughan singing Maria. Her voice is astounding.
Without a doubt, there have been a lot of good singers in the world. Perhaps too many to mention. And then there is Barbra Streisand. So good a singer that she cannot be included in the list of good singers in the world. She truly is in a list of one. I mean, this lady at the peak of vocal power could not be matched by any one. And I do mean anyone. Her technique, control and vocal range have not been or will ever be matched by any non operatic singer in the world. Barbra Streisand is a talent the likes of which we'll never see again. Period. I feel blessed to have lived in her time. How lucky can you get!!!
Great insight. She did Broadway and a bunch of movies where she sang. She also had multiple album hits. In fact, the first time I saw her in a movie with out her singing I was disappointed. Hearing her sign was the biggestof the reason to see the movie for me. In addition she is a great actress. She also wrote, produced, directed, and dang in a movie called Yentyl.
Check out Barbra Streisand's guilty album written and backgrounded by the Bee Gees.Duets with Barry Gibb such as "Guilty" and "What Kind of Fool"."Promises".She is one of the best female vocalist ever.Broadway,movies,musicals, Pop,R&B,you name it."Enough is Enough"with" Donna Summer.""My heart belongs to me".
This song is from the Broadway musical "Cats" thus the Broadway flavor you're hearing. Barbra actually started out on Broadway with Funny Girl, which she later starred in on film. It catapulted her to the stratosphere of stardom and she's never looked back. You've only heard the very very tip of the iceberg as Barbra has been at the top of her game through the last 60 years, being the only singer to achieve a #1 album in every decade. You will be blown away if you really get into her discography and acting/directing achievements; a rare talent like her's maybe comes along once in a millennium.
Love your reactions to her. The song is in fact from a Broadway musical. Her greatest songs are from Broadway shows. In her interviews she explains her love for Broadway because they tell a story that an actress can mold. Please more videos... I would offer a suggestion that you watch the AFI Lifetime Achievement Award she received here on TH-cam AND... Her Golden Globe Cecil B Demille Award also found here on TH-cam. No need for a reaction but If you do let me know. Thank God for you being you. Xo
Barbra is the singer's singer. An incredible career spanning 6 decades. Singer, actress, songwriter. Check out; The way we were from the movie of the same name For something different, she collaborated with Barry Gibb and the Bee Gees, whom wrote an album of songs for her. Listen to Barbra and Barry doing Guilty. Also, she starred in the third A Star is Born. Listen to, Evergreen, official video from the movie where she stars with Kris Kristofferson
Oh, no, you need to get her video's singing all her songs live or in her movies, so you can really appreciate this woman in all her glorious entertaining facet as the best singer ever and as her acting career.
Hello, how are you? Barbra Streisand is intelligent ,she's an actress singer ..Unique in story telling with her vocal voice range. Listen to "Prisoner", "Make it like a memory", "Main Event", and her many duets.. React to these I guess. Thanks
Yep. She started on Broadway. But this same singer has also recorded pop, rock, gospel, disco...Just to compare, now listen to these: th-cam.com/video/0EcTOoEp9TM/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/LQ2-9KglpEQ/w-d-xo.html This is why she’s had #1 albums in each of the last six decades. She can do what she wants with that voice.
"Memory" is from November 1981 and is from the Broadway show "Cats" which opened in 1982. This is an aria that proves once and for all that she is the finest female non-classical singer EVER (yes, more than Whitney, Aretha, et al). If you wish to learn how to sing as though you are an actor/actress, this lady is your teacher.
Thanks for this. There is actually a video of her singing behind this into the mic in studio with old footage interspersed. Please, please could you do a reaction of Enough is Enough, the duet between Streisand and Donna Summer? That would be so great!
I still would love to see you to jam to Barbra. “No More Tears” with Donna Summer, the queen of disco. The song will surprise you, guaranteed. You’ll listen to 1:30 and then your socks will be blown off. 😊
Also look for the video where Beyoncé pays tribute to Barbra at the Kennedy Center Honors. Beyoncé does the most amazing rendition of Barbra ‘s The Way We Were. Beyoncé was incredible.
Yup. As good as she sings back in the day Barbra didn't like to do concerts because she had stage anxiety. Tickets to her concerts could run in the thousands in today's dollars. I couldn't afford it. So one night the radio broadcast her signing live. I couldn't believe it. I pulled off the highway to listen. If Barbra signs, everything else stops. Sadly she is getting older and her voice isn't as strong. I think she is in her 70s.
Btw, this song "Memories" is from a super huge Broadway musical called "Cats". While she wasn't in it she definitely played a major role in popularizing this beautiful song from it when she recorded this.
love her and love this play. i've seen it several times and it never lost it's magic. love your reactions and really like seeing younger people reacting to older music, it makes my heart happy. looking forward to the next one.. if you like this song you should watch the video with Elaine Paige singing it in full costume, she was the original Grizabella the Glamour Cat on Broadway. she really gives the song life
This song is from the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical Cats, which was on Broadway in USA, so you're very right. It's a very heartbreaking song in it, probably THE defining sad song in it, sung by an elderly wizened old cat who felt left behind by the world in her old age. It's my favourite musical, and has some amazing songs in it. You might like some of them too. Two really good ones are "The Rum Tum Tugger" and "Macavity"
She is one of the greatest ever! There’s a lot to listen to she has like 70 albums most of them are gold albums! Check out Piece of Sky from the movie Yentl which she also directed. th-cam.com/video/faRFVdrRpws/w-d-xo.html
I was floating right there with you! You have to see her movie A Star Is Born w/ Kris Kristofferson. The soundtrack is amazing and Streisand puts Lady Gaga to shame❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hello ! If you want to hear another side of Barbra's music, please react to her duet with Donna Summer : th-cam.com/video/MKZ7boyUD0s/w-d-xo.html Absolute divas duet !!
She`s done all kinds of music, starting from jazz , through pop , disco and soul... she has duets with Ray Charles, Louis Armstrong, Donna Summer, The Bee Gees, Celine Dion to name but a few. Her acting career spans the 60`s, 70`s etc, up to The Fokkers and she is one of the highest selling female singers of all time, considered by most other singers to be amongst the best . She began as an actress who used her voice to try and get acting jobs but is best known for her unique voice. You really should try to watch videos of her performing instead of these lyric videos because until you see her actually perform you don`t really realize what an amazing phenomenon she is.
If you wish to comment on "No More Tears," her landmark 1979 duet with the late Donna Summer, go with this version (the single release that went to radio): th-cam.com/video/MUA7ylTmrmA/w-d-xo.html There are many remixes of the song made during the years but this five-minute radio version gets to the point of the sass and class of the track.
Yes! She started her legendary career on Broadway & became a huge star there before going on to conquer all other platforms. She's an EGOT winner (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony) meaning she's won EVERY major award from all the major mediums - TV, music, movies, Broadway! This song is from an album of Broadway songs from the 80s, & was one of the most succesful albums that year, both commercially & critically. It was #1 on the album charts & won several Grammys.
Het voice is a perfectly tuned instument. The greatest of her time. Unbelievable.
Because your so young! She was my favorite singer as kid in the 70’s and I loved her movies. She’s still my favorite. I love her.
She’s a Broadway, Movie, Pop. Superstar! She won all the awards an artist dream of. She’s a singer, actress, director, songwriter winning Grammy’s, Golden Globe, Oscar’s two time best actress. ALL, Tony’s, Sir Olivier. She’s the biggest star - entertainers entertainer, command the highest grossing concert of all time for a woman, you can check it out.

Only artist to have a number one album six decades in a row
You are right. Barbra came from the theatre. She only did 2 broadway shows, both were hits, before she transitioned to movies. Barbra achieved every major award in show business by the time she was 27.
She can sing anything!
Her singing The Way We Were from the movie of the same title. Oh and her acting in that movie awesome.
I have to say I just love watching your reaction to Barbra when you listen to her sing. I am a 60 year old white man who has loved her my whole life and to see young men of color just now finding out who she is how amazing her voice was brings me much joy. If you want to hear an incredible song she did in 1970 I believe find the song Since I Fell For You. This will blow your mind. Thank you, I’m glad I came across your videos. Be blessed
Memory is from the British Stage production and then the Broadway Stage production of "CATS" and was composed/written by Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber.
With Barbara Streisand singing Memory it might well be the most beautiful or greatest song ever sung by one of the greatest singer's ever. For me there have and are some great singers. I agree with you young man no one can match this voice and it is the voice that is the judge. A voice that is like no-other
Thank you for this. The lady is the best of the best. One less bell to answer/A house is not a home. She sings a duet with herself. It is wonderful!
This song is called Memories and is from the musical Cats, which I went to see after I heard Barbra sing this version, but nothing can beat her voice!
She starred in one of the biggest Broadway musical hits of the 60's... "Funny Girl". Which is also a movie starring her... rated as one of the greatest movie musicals ever. She had sold out tours all the way through the 80s, her own television specials in the '60s that showcased her amazing talent. She is one of the most acclaimed singers of the past 50 years.

Her very first film and she won Best Actress for her portrayal of Fanny Brice.
"Funny Girl" Barbra Streisand - My Man...

It still gives me chills after all these years. Please listen to her duet with Celine Dion, Tell Him! It's pretty awesome!
Yes, I second this recommendation! Amazing song and incredible vocals by both
Incredible song and vocals.
I prefer No More Tears with the late great Donna Summer
Streisand is considered one of the greatest singers of all time and one of the biggest stars of all time. She started on broadway in the early 60s. She was nominated for a Tony but didn’t win.

Thanks for posting this vid! One can forget how unprecedented, unapproachably great Barb was in her prime (which lasted for 50 years)! ✌️
Great insight. She did Broadway and a bunch of movies where she sang. She also had multiple album hits. In fact, the first time I saw her in a movie with out her singing I was disappointed. Hearing her sign was the biggestof the reason to see the movie for me. In addition she is a great actress. She also wrote, produced, directed, and dang in a movie called Yentyl.
Barbra sounds superb doing this song! One of my favorites of hers!
She doesn’t need auto tune.
She’s had an acting/singing career from the sixties onwards
So funny. You should check out Barbra singing "I'd Rather BE Blue" .... on roller skates!
th-cam.com/video/aW6Cu3LLTFs/w-d-xo.html
She's done Broadway, that's where she started.You need to research her career
and you will be blown away like all of us
her fans for ever.
Incredible. One of my favorites from her. I’ve always thought she would have been perfect for opera. But then, watch what you wish for I guess
Check out Barbra Streisand's guilty album written and backgrounded by the Bee Gees.Duets with Barry Gibb such as "Guilty" and "What Kind of Fool"."Promises".She is one of the best female vocalist ever.Broadway,movies,musicals,

Babs was a major movie star, she has won everything
It’s lovely to see how much joy you get from music.
Also love her duet “Guilty” with Barry Gibb of The Bee Gees. Totally sexy vibe, their voices blend so beautifully.

Streisand is the voice that comes once in a Millenium
your right about her being Broadway.
"Memory" is from November 1981 and is from the Broadway show "Cats" which opened in 1982. This is an aria that proves once and for all that she is the finest female non-classical singer EVER (yes, more than Whitney, Aretha, et al).

Barbra Streisand/Main title theme from the motion picture "Eyes Of Laura Marrs" (Prisoner)
I still would love to see you to jam to Barbra. “No More Tears” with Donna Summer, the queen of disco. The song will surprise you, guaranteed. You’ll listen to 1:30 and then your socks will be blown off. 😊
He should react to this version: th-cam.com/video/Fs4FXGYnNXU/w-d-xo.html
OMG yeeeeeessss one of the best songs ever.
Same
Also look for the video where Beyoncé pays tribute to Barbra at the Kennedy Center Honors. Beyoncé does the most amazing rendition of Barbra ‘s The Way We Were. Beyoncé was incredible.
Yes she did sing on Broadway.

So one night the radio broadcast her signing live. I couldn't believe it. I pulled off the highway to listen. If Barbra signs, everything else stops.
Sadly she is getting older and her voice isn't as strong. I think she is in her 70s.
Just a guess, but I think the painting of the streetlamps and couple walking is by Leonid Asenov who recently passed on.
Btw, this song "Memories" is from a super huge Broadway musical called "Cats". While she wasn't in it she definitely played a major role in popularizing this beautiful song from it when she recorded this.
We all now this. 🙄
@@MrWmJosephSmithIII what are you talking about??
Also do a piece of sky
That was a spot on analysis
love her and love this play. i've seen it several times and it never lost it's magic. love your reactions and really like seeing younger people reacting to older music, it makes my heart happy. looking forward to the next one.. if you like this song you should watch the video with Elaine Paige singing it in full costume, she was the original Grizabella the Glamour Cat on Broadway. she really gives the song life

Duh. Everyone knows that.
Do Somewhere and, Evergreen
They have a video of her singing this version
The word you’re looking for is Virtuoso
I loved her in Hello Dolly and A Star is Born. Check out the movie Yentl.
A Piece of Sky her range is insane.
She suffered from stage fright & was a perfectionist. That's why she preferred movies.
She is one of the greatest ever! There’s a lot to listen to she has like 70 albums most of them are gold albums! Check out Piece of Sky from the movie Yentl which she also directed. th-cam.com/video/faRFVdrRpws/w-d-xo.html
the song is about the memories of an older cat .. from the Broadway Show Cats. Cheers.
From the Broadway Musical Cat's.
I was floating right there with you! You have to see her movie A Star Is Born w/ Kris Kristofferson. The soundtrack is amazing and Streisand puts Lady Gaga to shame❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Try her singing “Somewhere” or even better, “Piece Of Sky”.
One of my alltime favourites. One day I'm going to see "Cats".
Super Babs fan but I wish you would have chosen the video of her recording this and you would have seen her performing live.
PLEASE REACT TO HER SINGING ‘MY MAN’ FROM HER MOVIE FUNNY GIRL 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Very good!! REACT MAKING OF JUST CASE Bee Gees...
This is from the musical CATS
Hello ! If you want to hear another side of Barbra's music, please react to her duet with Donna Summer : th-cam.com/video/MKZ7boyUD0s/w-d-xo.html Absolute divas duet !!
She`s done all kinds of music, starting from jazz , through pop , disco and soul... she has duets with Ray Charles, Louis Armstrong, Donna Summer, The Bee Gees, Celine Dion to name but a few.

Yo dude.. u gotta check out U don't bring me flowers etc!! This doesn't hold a candle to her repertoire.
You've found true talent. She's bean in many musical movies. Check out Evergreen
What do beans have to do with this?
This Version is like Leonardo’s Monnalisa.....
If you wish to comment on "No More Tears," her landmark 1979 duet with the late Donna Summer, go with this version (the single release that went to radio):
th-cam.com/video/MUA7ylTmrmA/w-d-xo.html
There are many remixes of the song made during the years but this five-minute radio version gets to the point of the sass and class of the track.
React to Evergreen by Babs. Beautiful and she wrote it.
Duh. Its not the only one.
Barbra sang this song well but this song will forever belong to Betty Buckley
Barbs is great, but Elaine is better - thx for the reaction and the - lame- memories.
You ain't know??? Lol
From Broadway's genius composer Andrew Lloyd Webber. From the musical "Cats". The place where they have all those "showes" is called a theater
