  • Best movie ever..

  • I wish I could just fucking enjoy a video or some music and avoid the temptation to look down....(into the abyss....lol) at the fucking comment section. I just had a reference remind me of a song I liked when I was a kid, and I come to YouTube - and sure enough, I find it, and I enjoy it....and then I LOOK DOWN and within a millisecond I'm pissed off at every other asshole and their stupid asshole opinions. WHEN WILL I LEARN ???

  • @Ersa1a

    Careful.....don't look down!

  • timeless....the perfect song...always has been !

  • Anyone who thinks Karen C is a better singer than Barbra S knows a bit about nostalgic 1970s AM favorites and the macabre attraction of a dysfunctional life- and absolutely fuck-all about vocal ability (and taste and discrimination ie. singing songs other than just those written by your brother)..

  • i get sick of hearing these arguments...difference in opinion is good. come on folks just enjoy the track...

  • what a movie, 

  • Don't you think that Barbra just sounds a bit "Smurfy"??? It's so odd... I had never heard Barbra in that voice before, but I'm sure that's because of both video and sound quality. Fortunatelly, she has a deeper voice, although her vocal range is breathtaking! She's THE BEST.

  • Just for cat and joe.love sue

  • holly aka babs , i devote this clip to you it is just perfection, from your harvey aka kriss. ¥ always

  • QUANDO EU ESTOU MUINTO TIRSTE, EU OUÇO ESSA MÚSICA! E TUDO RENASCE PRÁ MIM! COMO FOI LINDO ESSE FILME! E EU FAÇO DESSE FILME O MEU EXEMPLO DE VIDA E É DAÍ Q VEM A MINHA FORÇA!

  • Karen

    carpenter was the best,nobody can cover her songs,though many have tried.....

  • @coastallad1010 Karen Carpenter had an undeniable 'pretty', but a rather simple voice at best. As far as any comparison to the phenomenal Streisand, Karen was said to have like Barbra, one of the greatest ears for music. Of course being given the best song writers and producers of the day didn't hurt. Streisand is in a class by herself.

  • @mikesterSTLMO your a muppet,chart success speaks for itself,Karen Carpenters voice far superior

  • @coastallad1010 Oh no you din't! Who u callin' a muppet you cracka muthafucka~! Whatchoo doin' commenting about fcking Karen Carpenter on a Barbra video anyway. Stupid muthafucka.

  • Karen Carpenter, w/o a doubt the greatest female vocalist ever!

  • @greg4161

    A unique and commercial style? yes. Great?

    Ha ha ha.

  • How could you not like this?

  • Thank God she never got a nose job! Beautiful the way God made her.

  • I relate to the time, the music, and the substance abuse. I was Kristofferson and Barbar was my wife,The songs In A Star Is Born reminded me of all the loves of my life.Thank god the Colonel kept Elvis away from a great film.

  • The Colonel kept Elvis from being in this movie.

  • This was my wedding dance music. It means a lot. Thanks.

  • Superb! (although I wouldn't fancy that beardy guy kissing me!)

  • Capturing Barbra on film recording her masterpiece (in one take) was sheer brilliance. It remains one of the most beautiful songs ever written.

  • @mikesterSTLMO good observation - i never thought about this being done in one take

  • This song reminds me of the first really great love of my life... K.

    I sincerely hope you are doing OK my darling.

    LY,

    Mike

  • Holly , what a song and what lyrics. I now realise that we were truly blessed to expereince what we expereinced. I will never ever stop loving you. This song says it all. Harvey.

  • best voice ever.

  • its hard to believe this was 35 years ago...thanks for posting!

  • OMG this was our song in 1977. Where did the years go, why am I still here and he died 6 years ago, never ever thought I could live without him..... but you just go on don't ya xx you have to for the kids and the grandkids xxxx

  • @yatsand1 I love this song. And now i love it for a whole new reason.

  • @TheBargar thank you x

  • Kind of reminds me of seeing Splendor in the Grass with my mother as a young child. Natalie Wood there and Barbara here.  I saw part of this film being made in the stadium scene and saw its premere.

  • I love this song. I have always gotten the impression, though, that Kristofferson knows that he is a lightweight compared to Streisand. Mostly he tries to stay out of her way, lol. Streisand has perhaps the best voice that has ever been recorded.

  • this is the theme from a star is born... a beutifull film.

  • What movie was it from?

  • I cant wait for Clint Eastwood remaking this movie and Beyonce in it :D

  • @gammin5 what shit

  • This is such a beautiful song...I adore Kris Krisofferson and Babs in this clip...so much chemistry between them (good actors lol!). I never get tired of watching this clip...thank you so much for posting!

  • As a young 8 yr old boy my aunt who LOVES Barbra introduced me to her music & this song. It stuck with me back then simply because my dog yelped, basically singing to this song whenever it played & this was before anyone ever heard of "stupid dog tricks"! Growing older I eventually saw the movie, developed a crush on BS, that friends questioned but it was something about her singing this song & the movie! Well, the words stuck & eventually my wife & I chose it for our wedding's last dance! LOVE!

  • God, this song still takes my breath away.

    We chose it for out wedding song, it still makes me choke up as soon as I hear those opening chords. Simply breath taking.

  • Kris Kristofferson has so much charisma he almost makes this clip real.

  • OMG..... Kris Kristofferson.. whooo-hooo!! I didn't realize how good lookin' that man was..

  • So beautiful!Saw this when I was 9 now I'm 44.Always remember that moment when the recording was played with the phone ringing.He was already gone & she ran through the house calling him.....

  • oooh i love this song fantastic xxx

  • Comment removed

  • I remember hearing something about Kris Kristofferson drinking quite heavily throughout the filming of "A Star is Born." Its been long rumored that Streisand had to reign him in on a number of different occasions, as evidenced by her "pinch" in this video. True or not? Who knows. What is true is that he's been sober for quite some time now. Good for him. Sobriety is the only way to go, for me anyway.

  • Ah, another great song that simply reaches through the air waves and pulls at your emotions. Art that is truly worth its weight in words! The sound simply makes you feels so alive! Angel Boy (EXLIBRIS)

  • Odd... am I the only one who, less than seven minutes earlier, was watching a certain show that featured a group of six colorful miniature equines?

    Yeah, that's what I thought...

    Anyway, this is a nice song. I'm glad the Magic of Friendship lead me here.

  • i used to like her until i found out she was a jew.

  • @kelling123 Took you a long time kelling she was born Jewish. No buck up girl.

  • @kelling123 ...I thought you seemed quite nice then I realised you were still breathing..hurry up and stop!!!!! cunt

  • Merveilleuse Barbara, quel talent, quelle voix !! La meilleure !

  • I love this movie! I think Kris oozes sex appeal in it. I like Elvis as much as the next person but the truth is when they went to him with the offer he was so messed up they couldn't count on him. I think the movie turned out great the way it was made.

  • Elvis would have heated this up! Kris did a good job, but no sex appeal..

  • EVERGREEN. MAIN THEME FROM "A STAR IS BORN". 1976. BARBRA STREISAND .(24-04-1942)

  • I loved this scene in the movie. So beautiful.

  • God! I love this movie!!!

  • Great! Thanks!

  • A perfect song written by a perfect artist.

  • @xmvirus202 by two perfect actress, Paul Williams, the great, wrote it too...

  • simply beautiful!!!

  • Simply magical!

  • holly, what can i say, this is perfect and explains our love! "love ageless and evergreen, seldom seen by two, you and i will make each nite a first ........." says it all. what a song . your harvey

  • It was my favorite moment of the movie. In an interview, Streisand said she and Kris improvised during the Evergreen song. Example: when she pulls him back toward the mic. also, when she touches his beard. Love it.

  • It's a great picture... The best version of the story! I love it!

  • A great song, an outstanding movie and a beautiful love story. Thanks for posting.

  • Comment removed

  • GREAT POST THANKS

  • @trapes71 " I agree....it' s all about love!" Glad when I can find it again!

  • That is ageless and ever.

  • Barbra's voice is perfection.

  • Magical <3

  • This song puts a lump in my throat each time I hear it,not 'cause of any true love experience but 'cause it encapsulates the fragility of life,NOT love.Though the film ends with Kristofferson's death,the song reminds us that love IS evergreen.I was a mere slip of a kid at 16/17 when this film was shown in cinemas so I didn't really understand the way of the world.But fast-forward 30-something years & I sure do now,lol.Streisand & Kristofferson,an amazing pairing in a beautiful film!

  • @popazz1 I like your post, its funny because i think i enjoyed a post you made on a communards song ( For a friend) ?

  • @kevphillips02 ,

    *Blushes*.Thanx,matey.I didn't really intend it to be 'funny',tho I rarely set out to be funny,it just happens,damnit,lol. People have told me they could take a walk round my deepest thoughts & still not get their ankles wet.Whereas I feel I can be pretty deep.Yeah,I kind of remember commenting on "For A Friend",still an all-time favourite of mine,as was most of the stuff by Somerville/Bronski Beat/Communards.Oops,I feel a session coming on,hahaha!

  • @popazz1 Yes, it is the depth that i pick up. Maybe we think or feel along similar lines but i have enjoyed the comments i have read by yourself.

  • @kevphillips02 ,

    You're now officially on my xmas card list,lol.Well,you know,I try to be a deep thinker,tho' there's not too much scope for that on YT.Sometimes I think too deeply & then forget what it was I was originally thinking about.Mainly I just coast along,with the occasional prick of conscience to keep me in check.So,yeah,perhaps we do think/feel along similar lines.See,it aint all bad,lol.

  • @popazz1 It is a good quality to be of depth i think. It makes a difference to get someone who you can agree with here when most seem to want to have petty arguements

  • @kevphillips02 ,

    Ah yes,the wonderful world of the 'petty arguments' I admit,reluctantly,to haing been involved with a few of those on YT,lol.Sometimes I just rise to the bait far too easily.Other than the occasional lapse I'm fairly grown up about most things.Though it's always good to have someone else to recognise it. ;-)

  • Ah think this may be my all time fave track,and this version is PURE 'perfection' (AND...God,ah relly AM missing Gavin...ugh...)

  • This masterpiece was filmed in one take!!

  • I was 7 when this movie came out. My parents packed up us kids to go to the drive in to watch Benji first and then when the kids were asleep we watched this. I remember what a great movie it was with great music and acting. It was also an odd movie for me because it was the first time I can remember ever understanding death. Still love the movie and I am glad it is out on DVD finally.

  • ffff

  • this version is THE classic....just priceless.

  • I got a ? what would a 7" 45rpm record test pressing of this song be worth?

  • @boogerkittenbriches I would look it up on ebay.

  • Ageless!

  • Genius woman right there!

  • I love that she's still phonating as she kisses Kris at the end!!! That is some diva stuff right there. She's like "Kris! I'm not done holding my Long Note!!!"

  • Wild, a Viet Nam vet chopper pilot & a war protesting libnut singing a love song to each other! lol!

  • @falcondriver100 - Hey, true love knows no boundaries ;)

  • EVERGREEN WILL ALWAYS BE ONE OF MY FAVORITES.

  • Clint Eastwood is making a remake of this film with Beyonce Knowles as the main actress

  • @MrFralimoko seriously??

  • @MrFralimoko What!? Beyonce!? ugh. Judy is the only "star" that should have ever made this film. I can handle Barbara because she's an incredible person, but nobody else is EVER going to match up to those two women.

  • This woman never ceases to amaze. She is a true powerhouse of talent. Who else here is looking forward to the release of Streisand's next album "The Things that Matter Most"? It is sure to become an instant classic.

  • There is one big problem with this song, it's over too quickly.

  • They don't make geniune people and voices like this anymore. Lucky to have her!!!

  • There will never be another voice so sweet.

  • @Rockyhammock her and Karen Carpenter are the best of the best!

  • god'she is s of-able

  • Their chemistry was incredible. Kris Kristofferson was such a handsome hunk.

  • i so wish elvis would have done this picture

  • Good luck beyonce & leo! :) I love you both.

  • incomparable timeless love scene of superstar quality!

    what a love theme!

  • A Star Is Born

  • I loved the movie so much. I love barbara strisand and all her music incredible voice

  • @rpleasant1141 can you tell me the tittle of the movie please. thanks

  • What a beautiful song,I dedicate this to my wife as I love her so to my heart!!!!!!!

  • such a great movie and the chemistry between them was magic.

  • THIS WAS MY SONG FOR THE LADY I LOVED AND STILL DO

  • Rumors has it that BEYONCE' is remaking a Star Is Born. Let's hope Ms. Knowles does a a great job.

  • 0:00 - 0:15! WTF?!?! SUPER MARIO GALAXY?!?!?1

  • this was my mums favorite song. my dad had it played at her funeral. holds so many memories. love you mum xxx

  • arent they remaking this movie is this the one i dont know

  • 1:29 awkward pinch...

  • Lindo!!!! It's a shame that love is out of fashion

  • She is singing live here,however, whoever uploaded it... did something weird... it's pitched a hair to high. She sounds much better than what was uploaded here.

  • Beautiful!!!!!

  • I disagree with the earlier comments - she is so hot!

  • She really is like butter! I got the furclams watching the video. And the chemistry (fingers, kiss)! Woa. Was it off-screen that became on-screen?

  • @angel65sg

    Angel, what is a furclam? Sounds like maybe something naughty! Lol

  • @Tropia Hi Tropia. There was an SNL episode many years ago where Madonna & Roseanne Barr played a New Jersey pair of mother & daughter, and they were in awe of Barb's singing, which they described as "like butter", and "feeling so furclams" (I don't know the spelling). I think it meant it gave them the goosebumps. : )

  • @EllieElaine1 I am truly happy for you and thank you!!

  • I went to see this with my first love way back in 1977. This became 'our song'. My first love then became my husband then father to our 5 now grown children. Johnny, 34 years later, you remain my one true love....

    '' Love ageless and ever green, seldom seen by two...''

  • @scoobyandme1 Same here Scooby. We had this sung at our wedding in 1978. You know Beyonce is about to start filming a 3rd remake of A Star is Born. I wonder which version she will remake the 1937, 1954, or this 1976 version? They were all excellent, but this one 1976 with Streisand if my favorite because of the sentimental value. I will be married 34 years this coming March. Congratulations to you and Johnny!

  • @scoobyandme1 Have you put in your pre-order for Streisand's upcoming album, "The Things that Matter Most?" August 23 beckons!

  • @scoobyandme1 beautiful, thank you for sharing a glimpse, love can be true...

  • @scoobyandme1 That is so beutifull.

  • GREAT SONG FROM A GREAT MOVIE!!!!!!!!

  • My first love story movie in my youth but watched it with my girlfriend instead of my admirer!

  • ANY BODY REMEMBERS THE CODE,,, I,LL KILE YOU IF YOU DIE,,,SHE WAS TALKING TO KRISS

  • The greatest female singer in the last 50 years .

    She is simply gifted to sing .

  • So sweet and true a voice.

  • 2:08 pure perfection

  • If there is such a thing as music from heaven, this is it!

  • The only think that makes this even more perfect is when he comes in. MY God they had incredible chemistry!!!! Can imagine when they actually dated. He was her equal in conversation for sure, and the love making had to have been phenomenal!!!!

  • totaly goddes!

  • Wow..talk about coming right from the heart! Watch her eyes at the end, awesome video

  • I love this song. I love this movie. Thanks for Making!

  • LOVE IT!!

  • she is ugly as hell, but what a voice!

  • @chitsb did you really have to say that just shut up

  • @xxxAMANDA98xxx really have to say what? that she has a lovely voice? yes indeed! and no, I will not shut up just cos someone else cannot tolerate my opinion - positive or negative - this is an open forum for people to say whatever they want..so please keep your rudeness to yourself.

  • Comment removed

  • @xxxAMANDA98xxx in fact I was really trying to drive home the point that she is an example of a great voice (and a great voice alone) that is such a huge success in the music industry - not like half of the pop stars out there who just look good but cannot sing for nuts. But no, you had to go on the offensive....

  • very romantic.

  • It was a great movie with Barbra and Kris....they were beautiful together on the screen! I really loved this movie. This is a favorite song of mine. I wish I had been given someone to love like this for a lifetime!

  • It was a movie right? Great song! I love iT

  • who could dislike this?? You definately dont know good music and writting!!

  • Don't be a jerk! This is just BEAUTIFUL!!! A beautiful but tragic love story. Kris was absolutely gorgeous in those days. And of course, Barbra is THE BEST!!!!

  • Don't be a jerk! This is just BEAUTIFUL!!! Abeautiful but tragic love story. Kris was absolutely gorgeous in those days. And of course, Barbra is THE BEST!!!!

  • Kris is utterly hammered. Could watch this forever.

  • why do i get goosebumps on this song???? love that voice.

  • Her and Chris singing this -well - just beautiful and romantic!! LOVE IT 

  • I found out recently that Streisand also wrote the music for this song, although Paul Williams wrote the lyrics. I also heard that it is the only song she co-wrote, although I was not able to verify that on the Internet. If that is the only song she co-wrote or composed, that seems strange, since the song was a hit both commercially and critically, winning an academy award for Best Original Song.

  • i saw her on the grammys and fall in love with her and this amazing song!

  • Oh my - she still sings this song as beautifully now as she did then - purely delicious.  She doesn't need all of the vocal 'acrobatics' that the likes of Beyonce, Aguilera & Co feel is necessary to bombard us with now.

  • IMHO, Barbara Streisand, Celine Dion, and Amy Lee are the top on my list.

  • BeyondShit and all these new stupid clowns are not artists. The real artists and real singers are Gods and Goddesses already like Barbra...the rest can go visit the nuclear reactors in Japan.

  • Beautiful song, beautiful film. One of my faves

  • One of my all time favorite movies as well as songs....nothing beats this part of the movie....absolute classic!
