Barbra Streisand

Songwriter: Lalo Schifrin Marilyn Bergman Alan Bergman

Producer: Charles Koppelman Gary Klein

On rainy afternoons
When memories cloud the skies
The wind is filled
With our goodbyes
On rainy afternoons
We used to slip away
With rain and love
We'd spent the day

What went wrong?
I wish I knew
Was it me?
Or was it you?

I wonder, you think you've said farewell
Because you've said goodbye
You walk away, your eyes are dry
But the wind remembers all our favorite tunes
On rainy afternoons
On rainy afternoons

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”.
