Barbra Streisand

Songwriter: George Gershwin Harold Arlen

Producer: Richard Baskin

What a beautiful night, isn't it? The smell, crickets, ah! It worries me that we are tempering with what it took three-hundred eighty million years to create. We're being reckless with this whole miraculous balance of nature.But I have great faith in people. I believe that if they're told, if they understand what's at stake, they will make a change. They always have. So this is for you. You-you who have the opportunity to raise your voices and do it again. The future is in your hands...

It's a new world I see
A new world for me
The tears have rolled off my cheek
And fears fade away
Every time you speak
A new world
Though we're in a tiny room
What a vision of joy
And blossom and bloom
A new found promise
One that will last
So I'm holding on
And I'm holding fast
You bring a new world to me
The way the world should be...

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”.
