That’s a Fine Kind o’ FreedomBarbra Streisand

Songwriter: Harold Arlen Martin Charnin

Producer: Wally Gold

Bird up above see what he's got
The freedom to fly and the freedom to not
De dum that's a fine kind o' freedom
Look at him go way up above
Look at the crow he's as free as the dove
De dum that's a sweet sorta freedom
He owns the clear blue
Sittin' on his sunbeam
Could be there's one beam up there for me
Bird up above man in a tree
Don't have to fly but he's gotta be free
De dum that's a fine kind o' freedom
Bird up above see what he got
The freedom to fly and the freedom to not
De dum that's a fine kind o' freedom

Fly where he like
Like where he fly
Don't have to go to the back of the sky
De dum that's a fine kind o' freedom
Wake up you glum bird
Help us overcome bird
Freedom has slumbered for too long
Bird up above man up a tree
Don't have to fly but he gotta be free
Have to find the thing that he's after
Free and equilibrium
De dum that's a fine kind o' freedom
Hey bird...you can show him the way bird
You can show him today bird
Oh yes indeedum that's a fine kind o' freedom

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”.
