Simple ManBarbra Streisand

Released: October 1, 1974

Songwriter: Graham Nash

Producer: Jon Peters (II)

I am a simple girl
And I sing a simple song
I've never been so much in love
And never hurt so bad
At the same time
I am a simple girl
And I play a simple tune
I wish that I could see you
Once again across the room
Like the first time
I just wanna hold ya
I don't wanna hold ya down
I hear what you're saying'

And you're spinning my head around
And I can't make it alone
The ending of the tale
Is the singing of the song
All make me proud to be a woman;
Only you can make me strong
Like the last time
I just wanna hold ya
I don't wanna hold ya down
I hear what you're saying'
And you're spinning my head around
And I can't make it alone
I don't wanna make it alone...

Barbra Streisand

Barbra Streisand is an Oscar-winning, Tony-winning, Emmy-winning, Golden Globe-winning Broadway legend, film star, movie director and one of the biggest-selling recording artists of all time - a staggering amount of accomplishments for someone whose mother insisted she not to go into show business.

By the time she was sixteen, she’d graduated high school and was living on her own in Manhattan. After winning a talent contest at a gay bar on West 9th Street, Streisand’s ‘spellbinding’ voice quickly became popular at New York clubs and in Broadway shows. After appearances on a number of popular television shows including The Tonight Show, Streisand signed with Columbia Records and released several top 10 albums in the 1960s, scoring two US top 40 hits with “People” and “Second Hand Rose”.

Her success as a recording artist continued through the 1970s with several more gold/platinum-certified albums and four US “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers”, “No More Tears”, the Oscar-winning “The Way We Were”, and the Academy Award-winning “Evergreen (Love Theme from A Star Is Born)”. The 1980s would begin with Streisand’s biggest-selling release of her career Guilty, a collaborative effort with BeeGees member Barry Gibb. It topped the albums chart in several countries and as did its lead single “Woman In Love”.
