Barbra Streisand - "When The Sun Comes Out"

[etienne818]

Aw, Barbra. What can one say? Just 21 and singing with such incredible depth and maturity. Barbra had recently gone to singing in some (mostly) smaller night-clubs and now suddenly she's singing live on national television. How scary - and all at once exciting - it must have been! The happy stuff of dreams ;-)

[billyboylb]

Classy gal:)

[lmrs2]

Maravillosa, voz, me encanta su personalidad......y su voz, sin más que añadir......

[Monrocsol]

Talent to go!

[fromthesidelines]

This is exactly as Barbra performed it- LIVE- that evening in 1963, 'Java'. I don't know if there WAS a "complete" rendition recorded during that afternoon's dress rehearsal...

[fromthesidelines]

A verse is indeed missing from the song- probably because Ed told Barbra, before the show, that she'd have to "edit" her performance a bit. Because this was a LIVE program, and Sullivan was constantly shuffling the order and length of his headliners' perfromances right up to air time, he sometimes told them they'd have to "cut" some of their musical numbers, comedy routines, or animal acts for "time" {although a lion tamer once shot back, "Who's gonna tell the LION?"}.

[Javaisreve]

@fromthesidelines The full performance is on Barbra's Just For The Record Collection (if you want to hear it complete), so I think it's cut just for this video clip for some reason. I think she sang the whole song on that day in 1963, unless the recording on Babs' CD is a rehearsal.

SENSATIONELL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[blueway9]

Power House!!! You just glue yourself to the edge of the seat when she sings. Thank you for posting. ))

[mooooosico]

whenever she sings, i just smile

[maddadram1]

Wyomingmali.. I really don't know what you

are hearing, but you better get on the phone and

make an appointment with your ear doctor, because

you have got some serious issues going on!

[wyomingmali]

Sorry. Not very good. Lots of jumping around, not realiy much voice. Just a loud mouth and a lot of hype, then and now, that people fall for.

[jjj1951]

@wyomingmali Thank you voice coach to the stars.LOL

[kyolym]

@jjj1951 we can only hope that WYOMINGMALI can take some time and hopefully grace us all with with a youtube video of his or herself singing this song so we can all watch in amazement how it should have been done....LOLOLOLOL

[poetcomic1]

@wyomingmali She rather daringly blues it up and gave it a bit of very controlled raw edge that emotionally carries this very old twenties tune where it has NEVER been before. Your criteria are seriously screwed up on this one.

[nenelikefunnyvideo]

DAMN

[deep71483]

She killed it! Very beautiful song!

[lcalotes]

can we please go back to a time when you actually had to be a good singer to be famous?

[Honeybee19227]

@lcalotes its disgusting nowadays isnt it? :( -.-

[DdavidDari]

Diva , like her voice ,she's best . just beautiful

[poetcomic1]

She was the last of the great singers of the Great American Music, a true jazz interpreter.... and was hailed as a true artist... not an actress, not a 'celebrity' but a vocal ARTIST with a voice that was a heaven sent gift. Those discerning 'Barbra Lovers' of the early sixties know what they lost to compromise after compromise. Oh of course the voice was there but the interpretive genius died in the sixties.

[SwingDanceBand]

There are great female singers, but she still the best - ever!

[NthShout]

i felt it.



[CarlyIsAGangster]

Like buttah.

Barbra is a legend. She must have been in her early 20's here.

This was music.

[watfanghullean]

Dear Mrs Streisand, I attached my video, and would be so glad to communicate with u via e-mail or so, big PLEASE! Artur maria Simbürger, callartur@yahoo.com

[ZoeMushroom]

oehoe-oehoe-oehoewoe-oehoehoeh­oehoe- Barbra streisand !

[phlashba]

Only twenty-one years old!

[billygoyboy]

@nicermguy you said a mouthful there!

[Qbendanny]

Genius, in the house!!!

[MANUELFARINELLI]

what´s the fucking reason for what they had to cut the video?? I want to see it in the complete version!! Wonderful performance by Barbra!

[richiebabay]

she dropped a verse. whonder why. this was her song ya know. Garry Moore and all that.

[mzmiller52]

what happened??? this is what all the excitement was all about. why did she abandon her art?? and now you can see the predecessor to bette, liza, patti, madonna, and gaga.

[yougottagetagimmick]

@mzmiller52 Although, Liza and Barbra did actually come up around the same time...but I agree with you on all the rest of it. *grins*

[eldiran2]

@mzmiller52 Streisand is hardly the predecessor to the likes of Madonna or Lady Gaga. She has an immense natural talent; lacking that Madonna and Gaga get by on being provocative. Good Business choice (they understand how fickle the mass audiences are), but indicative of how low, low, lower the music "industry' is able/willing to go.

[martinjp1958]

She dominates the music. Total and utter genius.

[rs216016]

She smells! PU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mca1218]

@rs216016 OMG!! You're making me laugh too hard with that retort!!

[CraigsMusicPlace]

such natural, raw talent, so young...always amazes me. I love the no holds barred way she sang way back then. Absolutely stunning.

[Nelsonerguy]

Awesome and clear as a bell, and of course, total Streisand control of the melody and emotionality. She blends so well with a full brass orchestra, as if she is having a conversation with the arrangement, no just singing along. Thanks for posting!

[gusjet1]

I love to see these early clips they are treasures, I am glad they are available , where did you get this?

[pinkhighway]

Oh. Yeah.

[TheUnknownYou]

One of her best songs. Too bad it wasn't a major hit

[mca1218]

These are the Streisand clips I enjoy the most: Barbra as a pure, up-and-coming belter, possessed with a voice like a hurricane, raw, glorious, PRE-"Funny Girl" and before ALL of her CBS TV specials; she was a talent who acted when she sang (note the tears in her eyes towards the end of "Sun," and the body going into near convulsions because it can barely contain her joy). Just a short time later she would also perform with Judy Garland on television.

[mannail888]

@mca1218 You wrote as if "Funny Girl" and all those CBS TV specials are not on the same par as her just starting out period, circa 1961-1963.

[mca1218]

@mannail888 I didn't say anything about her other venues being sub-par- I merely stated my admiration of her raw talent from the beginning, before she did all the other venues. Period.

[mannail888]

@mca1218 But that's exactly how your first thread comes off: implying as if Streisand from 1963 onwards was not as great.

[poetcomic1]

@mca1218 Amen, yes, absolutely. A true artist who sold out to be a temperamental diva and "star". By the time she made Hello Dolly that bloated monstrosity that was ten years out of date even when it was made, she had lost that 'something' and never ever got it back.

[ivyarora]

@poetcomic1 What are you talking about? Barbra made a lot of good movies after Hello Dolly, like Yentl and The Way We Were and she also directed a few as well. How do you know that she was "tempermental" and a "bloated monstrosity" Do you have any proof to back that up?

[dhf174]

Amazing. I haven't seen this in years. Thanks for the post.

[lovergirls7733]

shes so cool haha

[Druezer]

Wow wow wow....sigh*

[billygoyboy]

@Druezer you said it!

[042442]

A++

[yoztanuwiria]

i love how she belted out a falsetto at the end of the song....that's definitely A WRAP!!! she's the ultimate diva...!!!!

[PJCoan]

Wow! She really belted this one out of the ballpark! I think it's a better version than when she sang it on her TV special.

[rlee1976]

@PJCoan

Yup, and 2 years earlier too! This one is more spontaneous! This was only 4 months after her debut album was released!

[strongandcalm]

This performance takes you by surprise. She uses her voice here quite aggressively at times. At times she seems almost bored or unsure what to do. Emotionally she seems to waver between sadness or loss and hope or fulfillment. Yet in the end it is an original, risky performance, not always beautiful, but with typical Streisand nuances, high belt, mix and soprano (A natural) notes from one instrument.

[Nelsonerguy]

Holy Guacamole! Talent of this magnitude in 1963, she's still sounds flawless and remains "gawgeous!"  Sadly now our culture produces tone-deaf losers like Taylor Swift.

[lotusbuds2000]

DITTTO!!!..THIS IS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE...Divine Barbra...what a talent, sould, gift, intellect...a woman of all women...I still wanna be like her!! :) Thank you for posting.

[supreme60s]

OMG This is Wonderful

[nyuNYC]

WWOW...amazing

[billyboylb]

Class and style all the way.

[rcir2]

Unbelievable - period.

[ch1aka2]

But would she have won American Idol? Simon probably would have given her a thumbs down.

[book021296]

is it just me or does it look like her eyes are watering? it looks like shes about to cry. hmm...

[funnyguy52]

This is one of Streisand's greatest TV moments!! Hell of a note at the end!!

[Biskmut]

This is what the world had before Britney and Rihanna?

...I think I was born in the wrong decade.

[eldiran2]

You said it. None of the new female Pop Singers (for a long time, actually) can touch this woman......

They all seem mediocre and pathetic by comparison.

[mekko2000]

Barbra was an still is in a class all by herself, What a God Given gift she has!!

[songkona]

21. I have one year to become this awesome. Jeepers!

[thewomaninthemoon]

She's stunning!

[shipperdude32]

She is unbelievably brilliant here. On top of her game at age 21.

[llamalauren]

Holy hell she's BEAUTIFUL!
