At this early stage in Barbra Streisand's career, she'd already floated through the pinnacle of the pyramid of human artistry/creativity - floated out into the stratosphere. I was there - remember it clearly. For most of the late 60's she received a LOT of flack in the media accusng her of being rude, this, that, - never mind her
been-surpassed-superstar status.
Yet, check - her "energy" in this video. It took a "bit of gangsta" for her to get to this stage. Some call it rude.
thank you for putting this back on youtube.. this performance, above ANY of hers, is my absolute favorite. THIS is the barbra you make people watch. FLAWLESS delivery. I gag with envy everytime i listen
It's truly amazing to watch this singer breathe life into this song; approaching the mic as a diva would, commanding your attention from beginning to end... letting you know this is her song, DAMNit... I was sadden by Michael Jackson's death. I don't know what I'll do if Streisand's life ends before mine.
Flawless. Gorgeous. Talented. Wow...Just Perfection.

I definitely prefer Shirley Bassey's version. Barbra is just too screamey and screechy in this song. I'm sorry. Hurts my ears a bit

If you do not have the "Color Me Barbra" album, you do not have the greatest album she ever made. It was a TV Special. Imagine that!

I though she was spitting, but looking at it again, I think you're right.

There's talent, great talent, and then there's this.... As someone else has noted - stratospheric. Universe class.

Performances like this are why she is one of the greatest singers of all time. From start to finish, the pacing and eventual power is wonderful!
