When she hits that high note & really lays into the rest around 2:44... no one else does that like her. While I certainly appreciate and have a soft spot for other famous singers with their own unique strengths, Barbra Streisand always be my vocalist numero uno. So, so glad I've gotten to hear her voice in my lifetime.
When my ex bought 9 tickets to see Barbra at $1500 a pop...my first comment was "if she doesn't sing When the Sun Comes Out", I hope you spend another $1500 for a cemetary plot". She didn't sing it but Before the Parade Passes By saved his life!
@anaili77777 The DVD is "My Name is Barbra" which can be bought as a seperate title in some places, otherwise, there is the boxed set, which has all of the Streisand television specials.
don't know how many times I have seen this video... and every time I feel stunned because of this amazing performance, as if it is the first time I watch it.
Notice how it took about 50 seconds for her to warm up into the performance and the song- she has always said she sang higher when her stagefright was hitting her, then she would get comfortable and relax, and the Barbra we love and idolize would come forth to dazzle us.
Compare this performance to the June, 1963 Ed Sullivan performance (here on YouTube)- her 1963 version is so much stronger, so much more emotional and stronger- probably because her stagefright hadn't hit her yet, and she wasn't yet singing 8 performances of "Funny Girl" on Broadway. What a difference 2 years makes. But they're both incredible, indelible performances- noone in the last part of the twentieth century compares to Barbra. We are honored to witness this gift.
Thing is with truly great singers, no 2 performances are EXACTLY alike! I love all her early stuff. No recording tricks, no fakey overdubs etc all of which even Barbra fell vivtim to as years went by to try and remain current. This early music is the pure talent which is RARELY seen today.
@PJCoan I dont think so.. around these times the 60 where on fire! your componists and singers where floating in creativity. here youvsee barbra changing pop music forever. instead of singing this song like Garland did back in the day
I love the moment at 2:59. I want to imagine Barbra thinking "damn, I'm f!@king amazing" and the flip of the hair just confirms it. Ms Streisand, I adore you!
She was born mature & gifted..what a gift Ms. Divine Steisand to us all who so love her music. She is such a soulful woman...amazing grace. Love to the one who posted!!! for giving us hours / days/ weeks/years of pleasure!!!
Imagine if Barbra never existed until today as a 20 year old unknown girl that could sing and she did this song on u-tube. could you just imagine? I could see it now, 500 million Hit's! she would blow utube out of space!
I love how at the end of the performance she has to take a moment to compose herself and catch her breath. This is true singing...when you give every inch of your soul to expressing the emotion of a song. Barbra is one of a kind, a truly masterful vocalist. This gave me goosebumps!
one of the great things about Barbra as a singer if she "acts" her songs. She's an actress too and she becomes whatever song she sings. She said she sees them as characters. It's brilliant.
My favorite <3

When she turns to the right at very end of the song, she looks almost disappointed and I wonder
if she was remembering her final higher note in her rendition of the song on the Sullivan show two years earlier. Both versions are brilliant.
