  • Actually, I prefer her version to Billie Holiday`s.

  • 1:18 wow, this is not completely like Babs.

    I like the arrengements although i don' t understand reason of it

  • Wow! Barbra you certainly made this song alive like no one else has,the movie one touch of Venus was to me a smash,like Ava Gardner,you have added that sexy voice that belongs to my genre from back then and now with no-one else but you.carry on barbra,you swing. from an aussie.

  • This is pure gold ! Que maravilla de voz de arreglos no tiene madre!!

  • Just imagine how she sounds in the sack.

  • Streisand should have done this song ten or fifteen years earlier and with real jazz musicians instead of the vanilla slop here.

  • @unclealand - I agree with you. Her voice is still terrific, even after all these years, but the musical arrangement is nowhere near up to the quality of her early recordings.

  • I love her speak low feeling love of woman.

  • Love this version. Barbra is the ultimate romantic:)

  • she is wonderful for intimate/lovely background music

  • BARBARA HAS THE BEST VOICE OF ANT RECORDED HERE, BUT BILLY IS A GOOD VERSIION TOO.

  • just found this song on YT. Barbara does her usual wonderful job and makes the song her own.

  • Awesome version of a fantastic song. I was ten when the movie came out and I had a crush on Ava Gardner.

  • Excelentìsima versiòn.

  • Barbra Streisand is the only one that I like to hear sing this song other than Dick Haymes in ONE TOUCH OF VENUS...which is one of my favorite scenes of the movie.

  • your the chief AriBuhler great song and beatiful oice

  • There is nothing wrong with the song. Kurt Weill sings it beautifully. So do a few others.. I just don't include Barbra in the mix, that's all.

  • só "fabricaram" uma. :-)

  • This is a great arrangement of a breezy, jazzy song. Ms. Streisand's control is impeccable as always. Thanks for this post.

  • Barbra streisand - AHOAOOAHOOAHOOAHOOAA

  • Great version of a great song... Barbra, the tenor sax man and the rest of the orchestra totally rule this masterpiece...10 out of 10 on the "goose bumps" meter!!

  • A very great song and a very poor arrangement.

  • @thisherecat and which arrangement do you consider superior?

  • Superb!!

  • Thanks Everybody For His Comments !! Barbra is Amazing !! =)

  • Great track. Barbra is on form here for sure x

  • Wonderful!!! This is one of my favorite song!

  • greta matassa!

  • Molto bella la registrazione del Kurt Weil/Ogden Nash classico!

  • barbra is great on some songs, but not this one.

  • @eloisecrumpp what do you find wrong with the song?...

  • Perfect. Very sensuous version of this song as only barbra can sing it!

  • This sounds like bad Smooth Jazz radio.

    Babs overworks yet another song, here demolishing a gorgeous melody by a master.

    Shhhheeeeeesh.

  • @DrVivianBell I disagree, this is an updated version which breathes new life into the song. Demolishing the melody?

    I hardly think so...

  • @stellartunes

    Hahahaha, as if this Weill masterpiece needs Babs to "breathe new life into it" (i.e., demolish the melody). 

    I hardly think so ...

  • @DrVivianBell Actually.... I enjoyed a number of versions of Speak Low, (Sarah Vaughan's) and namely Weill's himself. Streisand exposed the song to millions of listeners who perhaps never heard the song, and no doubt enhanced the estate of the Weill family.

    It would be a very dull world indeed if we all had the same taste.

  • There is only one Streisand.

  • sorry - bararas voice is NOT made for such a powerfull song, judys so much better. barbara haven ot the tune for great strong numbers. my opinion

  • Tremendously and gifted the voice of Barbara Streisand is and we are so privileged to have lived heard her sing. Such a beautiful melody.

    Her phrasing is a must for any singer who wants to imitate such exquisite first class taste.

    Farflenkempt Barbara ( ala SNL)

    p.s. please check out Esther Ofarim, a jewish singer like Barbara who had the gift of song also but from a different generation.

  • Gorgeous and sensual version of this song:)

  • ME ENCANTAAAAAAA! esta cancion es una de mis favoritas, simplemente la amo

  • a lot better than Judy Garland's version.

    So jmuch closer to the soul of the song.

    I know they're a lot of Judy fans who will be rilled up..... but this is the better recording. Carademuneca.

  • wow just wow :)

  • Song of the ages....

  • I love this woman, female!

  • Great Barbara!

  • the computer beats are no good for that natural song...they missed the spirit...I am so sorry for this mess..

  • amazing i loev her!barbra you are the best of the best!

  • Terrific profile photo

  • Eso es cantar y tan tan bella canción

  • Lovely and unforgetable song. Thank you.
