Barbra Streisand

Songwriter: Johnny Mercer Harold Arlen

Producer: Mike Berniker

Free and easy
That's my style
Howdy-do me?
Watch me smile
But fare-the-well me
After a while
Cause I gotta roam
And any place I hang my hat is home
Sweetenin' water
Cherry wine
Thank you kindly
Suits me fine
Kansas city even carolina
That's my honeycomb
'Cause any place I hang my hat is home

Birds roostin' in a tree
Pick up and go
And the goin' proves
That's how it oughta to be
Pick up too when the spirit moves me
Cross the river
'Round the bend
Howdy stranger?
So long friend!
There's a voice in the lonesome wind
Keeps a whispering roam
I'm going where a welcome mat is
No matter where that is
'Cause any place I hang my hat is home

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”.
