She has an EGOT plus #1 hit songs, #1 albums, record-breaking concert attendance, plus Top Female Box Office star every year 1970-1979. Peabody, AFI. Medal of Freedom. Kennedy Center Honoree. No other artist even comes close to her achievements.
She’s also 1 of 14 Grammy Legend award winners. She’s one of the best selling artists of a time yet never really sang mainstream music that says a lot.
Garland was phenomenal and offered the key advice to our girl, Barbra. The advice contributing to Barbra's longevity and outshining her generous predecessor.
She is/was a great singer, but what gets missed a lot is what a great actress or comedian she is. She clearly wrote/rehearsed the line about "being in any hall with the trouble I've had finding an apartment" and it was delivered flawlessly.
Actually she wasn't the first person to win all four major awards, composer Richard Rogers was. He completed in 1962. Barbra was just the first performer.
Barbra never returned to Broadway (other than on her albums). I wish Barbra had at least produced a Broadway show so she could win a competitive Tony. This Special Tony is nice, but it's not a competitive Tony. She produced so many TV movies in the 80s and 90s. I would have loved her to produce a Broadway show or directed one. Also, it's amazing that Barbra became such a huge movie and pop star. There never was a Broadway performer who reached such heights. I don't even think there has been a Broadway star who has ever had a number 1 single. Bette Midler comes close, but she was never really a Broadway star until Hello Dolly.
@@ningtaylor6186 Well, that and those two initial Tony snubs really cut deep. I think that really lit a fire in her to make it big in the movies, and make her bigger than Broadway. She lost in '64 to Carol Channing for 'Hello Dolly', ok fair (. . . kinda), but to lose out to Phyllis Newman for Subways are for Sleeping? Does anyone even remember this performance or this show? No. But they DO remember Barbra's Miss Marmelstein in 'I Can Get It For You Wholesale.'
Barbra was offered Gypsy in the early 70s and turned it down She was a star in Hollywood and making alot more money. Angela Lansbury did the part and won a tony.
@@zebra2615 she also wanted to make a movie of gypsy. I believe Tom Hanks was listed as one of the stars that fell through as did her movie version of Catherine the great. I don’t think we’re gonna have many more movies from Barbra and after the two Fockers movies, I think that’s a good move.
This is the Streisand that I love & today she can still sing to perfection, but at times her political views are something I can agree to disagree. Such is life...
First of many firsts and yet we only ever hear about Beyonce, Madonna, Taylor Swift....sorry girls, Barbra set all the records....first....and will probaly hold that #1 albums in 6 consecutive decades record for a very long time!!
Barbra has always taken care of her gift. That’s why no one will ever break her record. She started out young and has always taken care of that wonderful voice.
Now that's power; creating an award to someone because they lost it (although how in the world she didn't win a Tony for Funny Girl astounds me) .... and so Barbra becomes the first EGOT. Today, history repeats itself as they groom Gaga as being the next EGOT.
"Star of the Decade" are you kidding me. Marty Ehrlichman engineered this with the Tony Blue ribbon committee so that he could market his client as having won the entertainment grand slam. Rita Moreno is still the only entertainer to win all four top awards , in competition, for performance. Star of the decade should have gone to Angela Lansbury or Gwen Verdon.
I'm so sorry if I scratched the clay feet of your goddess. But in what bizarre parallel universe twilight zone world does on play as a featured player and one play as a lead qualify someone as "star of the decade".?
Brian Pennington At the time my friend, the world knew the power that was emerging from this woman...it is that simple. She rocked the world. Now...stop being such a bitch. Clay feet of the Goddess??? How 1940's of you.
Hey, your avatar says it all. I'm still waiting for her to fulfill her promise of leaving the country if Bush get's elected. It's never too late, Babs!

She's really incomparable.
The recognition that most gets to me is that she is the only artist to have a number one album recording in six consecutive decades
She’s also 1 of 14 Grammy Legend award winners. She’s one of the best selling artists of a time yet never really sang mainstream music that says a lot.
She is the greatest entertainer of all time. Best female vocalist ever.
The biggest "We Made A Mistake" award ever. She should have won both times she was nominated.
she was up against carol channing and beatrice lillie, even though barbra was AMAZING in funny girl, the odds of her winning were slim.
Streisand, the one and only, the greatest of all, the greatest star! ✨️🥂🍾
Over 50 years later and Streisand is a galaxy among stars still today. Her talent, her voice, her beauty, all her own, never to be matched.
Streisand is the most talented performer--ever.
I agree.
Ever heard of Judy Garland?
I have heard of Judy Garland and I agree that she was brilliant but nobody can outshine Barbra in my opinion.
Garland was phenomenal and offered the key advice to our girl, Barbra. The advice contributing to Barbra's longevity and outshining her generous predecessor.
Barbra Streisand is simply the best 💝
Amazing. Wow, she was only 28! Love her.😊💜🎶
She is so beyond special. This beautiful and talented lady is so inspiring. Heart her.
She is/was a great singer, but what gets missed a lot is what a great actress or comedian she is. She clearly wrote/rehearsed the line about "being in any hall with the trouble I've had finding an apartment" and it was delivered flawlessly.
There will never be another Barbra! A gift to the world 🌎.
So nice tone voice she uses by the way she speaks
She is UNIQUE
Barbra. The original EGOT. periodt. 🎤 Thank you 🙏
A Wonderful Time Of Hollywood-
♡♡♡
I love her everytime,nobody was or is like her.simply great
Back when awards were actually relevant and handed out based on merit and talent.
Could have retired before turning 30 as a legend of entertainment, incredible.
Broadway was always just a springboard for La Streisand. She did her job and never looked back.
She's amazing!
Yes, Babs was once 28 years old...and super fabulous.
Gosh, I never before tonight got the chance to view this. Thanks you so very much!
I thought I had seen everything about Barbra but not this…thank you!
This, I think, must have been Barbra's last Tony Awards appearance until 2016, when she would present the Tony for "Best Musical" to "Hamilton".
I imagine that Streisand coordinated her outfit knowing that she was going to come down the stairway from the Coco set?
That would be just like Barbra. Attention to every detail.
Actually she wasn't the first person to win all four major awards, composer Richard Rogers was. He completed in 1962. Barbra was just the first performer.
Thank you for this.... I have loved Steri for 35 years and have never seen this.... Thanks you!!
Neal Baggett Who or what’s a Steri ?
No one can touch her
This is the Barbra I love.
Classy speech and funny too
Barbra never returned to Broadway (other than on her albums). I wish Barbra had at least produced a Broadway show so she could win a competitive Tony.

The daily grind bores her. It's interesting tho, theater is now filmed and would align with her desire to leave something that lasts forever.

Think she mentioned in an interview that she wanted to produce and/or direct on Broadway someday. Maybe.. ?
She’s never really won a competitive Tony and I think it would be fantastic for her to get like a supporting actress Tony she could do it.
Yeah I noticed too that it's the "Be Aware" pants suit she wore on the Burt Bacharach TV Special!
I think it would have been brilliant to see her again in that Arnold Scaasi gown that she wore to the Oscars.
I absolutely LOVE that song 🎵
Thank you VERY much !!!
BEAUTIFUL
A most wonderful moment.
This is very Eve Harrington accepting the Sarah Siddons award.....
And such young hands. How fitting, yada yada... A great star. A true star. Barbra, ya done good, kiddo.
she has that Burt Bacharach tv show suit on.
Yeah I noticed that too. I've been a fan of hers since 1970 and I always loved the way she looked and sounded back then.
“I believe we should face our problems head on “ 💨 Oops, wrong Concert Hall.
I remember this evening. Can it be so long ago? ⏳
Barbra is a diva but she never returned to Broadway after her first film.
@hanh dien She's been really open about how much she hated the schedule and repetitive nature of broadway.
Barbra was offered Gypsy in the early 70s and turned it down
She was a star in Hollywood and making alot more money. Angela Lansbury did the part and won a tony.

Did you have the chance to see the performances of Newman, Channing, and Streisand?
Same clothes she wore on the Burt Bacharach show
Now that's power; creating an award to someone because they lost it (although how in the world she didn't win a Tony for Funny Girl astounds me) .... and so Barbra becomes the first EGOT. Today, history repeats itself as they groom Gaga as being the next EGOT.
yes! Gaga will!
there are no pictures of her receiving this award.
Frost is so full of it!
😮
She was an EGOT b4 it was a thing!!! Very Britney Spears!
That's the least Britney Spears thing since she's won just the Grammy
@@gabrielkleinhans9374 that isn’t what he’s talking about obviously
I thought Barbra looked nice with her hair like this.
That's how she wore her hair in The Owl and The Pussycat movie which is I think the best look on her.
No standin ovation.atiffs.
OK so they gave her a Tony so she can complete the EGOT. It's not a competitive one.
"Star of the Decade" are you kidding me. Marty Ehrlichman engineered this with the Tony Blue ribbon committee so that he could market his client as having won the entertainment grand slam.
