  • And again I've been asked to study and perform another song of Michel Legrand, I adore this song, and Barbara's interpretation

  • This has always been one of my favorite songs, and Barbra does it SO well.....

  • Well, there is the live version with Burt B at the piano in her For the record cd series, better rendition, outtakes and all.

  • Thank you for sharing this fabulous video. I am a huge fan of Barbra Streisand. Her music is healing for me. She is a great talent and a beautiful human being.

  • Love it, love it love it!

  • @MrChinesecrested she is one of the most amazing people ever and she is a big confidence booster to people in the music industry who are not the same as your everyday pop star like Ke$ha. Why don't you just mind your own buissness since she is a bigger star than you'll ever be. P.S. People sound better on recordings than in a live performance.

  • I just love this Jewish Gal Barbara Streisand! She just do it to me. Music for Life, not Friend for Life!

  • BARBRA'S one of the greatest singers of the 20th century. Her range and tone are both unbelievable. I used to watch the fidelity "needles" on my old 70's tape recorder go crazy, wild, back and forth when I was recording her. Only one other lady came close and that was Linda Ronstadt.

  • すばらしい!

    

  • @MrChinesecrested who gives a flying fuck about your advice barge-arse!!

  • @MrChinesecrested darling, music is not about perfect notes is about making you feel and comprehend feelings. we get a kick out of her, why don't you retire?

  • @MrChinesecrested ..............will u go away please....and take your negative mess with u

  • Lyrics from this song are engraved on a mobius strip bracelet my husband gave to me for Christmas, 2010. i wear it all the time. WHAT a great bunch of lyrics!

  • This woman can make me weep with the sound of her voice.......

  • her studio recording of this is better but this was damn good.

  • I kind of believe that I might have been at least partially responsible for her singing this song in concert the one time she did. I'm not particularly a fan, but I love the lyrics and the way she sings it.

  • She can't touch Karen Carpenter.

  • Great....and it's a very difficult song for any singer...the placement of the notation is very deceptive! It might seem like a doddle but put one note out and the whole thing can unravel !!!

  • a magical lady...

  • The audience claps too soon each time. They interrupt the beautify of the show and that wonderful voice. Thank you for this post. Thank you, Ms. Streisand, for the gift of song and acting.

  • "Exquisite"...

  • This is an example of the triumvirate coming together: Powerful lyrics written by Alan and Marilyn Bergman, wonderful musical composition by Michael Legrand and wonderful interpretation by Barbara Streisand. I love it when it all comes together so beautifully.

  • sublime!

  • Woo oo hoo ho ho hoo ho ho hoo!

    Woo oo hoo ho ho hoo ho ho hoo!

    Woo oo hoo ho ho hoo ho ho hoo!

    Woo oo hoo ho ho hoo ho ho hoo!

    BARBRA STREISAND

  • Not my style of music, but absolutely stunning. Beautiful song. Screw everyone who hates her for reasons they can't really explain. She's awesome.

  • One of the finest singers out there. Streisand can melt the coldest of hearts.

  • Greedy? Rich? At least you get what you pay for, EVERY TIME, incredible performances from probably the greatest female pop singer ever. Now compare that to some of our so-called super star sport figures that "have a bad day!

  • Hey, this could be Bella and Edward's first song they dance to at their wedding!

  • I was here!

    

  • SHE IS A GREAT SINGER FOR SURE! BUT WHY DOES THIS VERY GREEDY BITCH ALWAYS OVER CHARGE SO MUCH FOR HER CONCERTS? IS SHE THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND OR WHAT?

  • @dannys2222 Because the vast majority of the money she raises through live performances goes to support non-profit organizations. Get a clue. Do some research.

  • @dannys2222 She is one of the richest women because she has f*cking talent. YOU need to get a clue, get some manners, and ask yourself one question. If you apparently hate this "greedy Jew" so much, then why the hell are you watching her videos?? Get a life!!!!!!

  • @dannys2222 Lmao, are you f*cking kidding me?! At least I'm watching videos that I enjoy, and not for the purpose of posting hateful racist remarks. And what the hell makes you think I have no job and am on welfare?! Wtf?! You're f*cking stupid, and a hateful racist LOSER, and I'm not putting any more energy into this "conversation". Do everyone a favor and shut the f*ck up. :)

  • much appreciate the posting...xxoo

  • THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING A WONDERFUL MEMORY!♥

  • WONDERFUL Barbra!♥ she takes us on a journey of the heart♥

  • WONDERFUL Barbra!♥

  • Grande barbra!! Me llevas a mis mas bellos recuerdos

  • I love her I always admired her. Wish I could see her but never will. Mike

  • I always loved Barbra's singing. Hit the high notes without screaming, unlike so many others that need to be going a little out of bounds to hit those high notes. Barbra always gives me the chills. The applause that was rendered during the beginning of the song was the audience showing appreciation, and she loved it. Not a problem, and not unusual with top vocalists.

  • can anyone tell me please can i get it on acd, its not incloded at the concert cd

    thank you

  • What a fantastic voice and this song is the same.

  • Anybody else have the chills run through you as she sang? What a voice..

  • 34tremendo must be an arrogant, rude and stupid italian.

    

  • @MrStefy56 calm down cunt

  • ONe of my faves..I have this video.

  • Such a beautiful Song!

  • FABULOUS, thank you !!

  • just elegant

  • Just beautiful!

  • @34tremendo Really???? Well... to each it's own. I guess... Really???? 

  • This is the best.

  • Dame Shirley Bessey did it much better. It is good but nowhere near Dame Bessey.

  • Beautiful! But, ended the last note ended down an octave.  Don't know why? She can surely hit that note. Oh well, makes it easier for me to sing along. Cause I surely coulnd NEVER hit that note! LOL!

  • I'm not a Streisand fan but this is probably the best version around, well played dynamically.

  • what a great love song this goes out to my secret love!!!!1

  • Comment removed

  • Duck Sauce - Barbra Streisand

  • a világ legjobb énekesnője!!!!!!!!

    jejeejejjejeeeeeeeeeE:)))

    

  • all i can say is : "wow"

  • Jeeeeeeeeeeeeee:):))

  • I didn't think ANYONE even Barbra could sing this better than the Sarah Vaughan version but she killed it.

  • Is anybody else bothered by stupid, selfish audience clapping interrupting the songs?

  • @billyguns2 this is why i NEVER my albums recorded live

  • @billyguns2 I was unaware that showing appreciation for a performing artist was considered "selfish".

  • @teknotoast Well, now you are aware! Some people want to HEAR a song uninterrrupted by an audience that thinks "Oh, I recognize that and am so glad you;re singing it" which draws attention to the audience, rather than silent appreciation so that every note can be heard, leaving room for an appropriate, thunderous ovation at the END of the song. I want to hear the song, not the audience! Performances are not circus events, seems to me.

  • @billyguns2 wow i was just thinking stupid fucking audience shut the fuck up and i looked down and read your words

  • No comments, just listen Sarah Vaughan singing this song...

  • Just listen Sarah Vaughan singing this song...

  • Does anybody needs something else in this life?

  • she is GREAT

  • An angel voice fallen on this planet to bring us joy and inspiration

  • Her talent is like no other!

  • Dusty Springfield does the best version of this song.

  • THE BEST ...............

  • Velimanttiranta, it's not a 'flawless' performance, but to the true barbrafile, that is exactly what makes it so magnificent. after decades of hearing her only through studio recordings, the thrill of hearing her in the moment cannot be diminished by whatever minor imperfections you might perceive. perhaps it is only because you are so accustomed to hearing her studio recordings that you find such fault in what is by any reasonable standard an excellent live interpretation by one of the most ce

  • @caspmct I prefere her live any day...her voice is a wonder...

  • I just might be a regular asshole but....her vibrato always was out of control and voice is veeeery nasal. I am going to be thrown into fire for saying this but....anybody? She has a nasaly sound.

  • @Velimattiranta That is what is so special about her voice. Her "nasal" quality is a result of her deviated septum, coupled with her perfect pitch, results in the most important voice of the 20th century and beyond. Also she has a tone over tone quality which sets her apart from anyone else, she is a "perfect storm"of vocal ability. It is a matter of taste, as to weather one likes her or not, but that her voice is amazing has not ever been in question.

  • It doesn't get much more perfect than this. Shirley Bassey's version is epic as well but Barbra nails it.

  • I want christina to do this song...She needs to sing this and be added to brilliant list of singers who have interpreted this song over the years!!

  • @mycenth22 let's not compare Barbra the greatest singer of all time to Christina

  • @stevesg92 really...lets not name babs the greatest singer of all time...and i wasn't comparing..i think christina is an amazing singer and would do justice to this song.....

  • @mycenth22 Christina puts too much in her singing. She oversings a song too much.

  • @CMHism Not a diss, but I think Barbra overworks songs sometimes. I mean they're beautiful, don't get me wrong. For me, she tends to be a little too emotional, which is not a bad thing. I love the Babs...But as for a 21st century singer, I would like to hear Christina's rendition of this song, having done an album like Back to Basics, going through everything in her personal life; marriage, baby, divorce etc. I just would like to hear how she interprets the song - good or bad in peoples opinion

  • 10 years later, Fantasia Barrino sings Babs song for American Idol Season 3 win!

  • fantasia brought me here lol

  • I don't dislike Barbra's version but Shirley Bassey is just better.

  • @6040Jackie I don't dislike Shirley's or Barbra's versions but Dusty is just the best.

  • Se algunas cosas que voy a hacer por el resto de mi vida,escucharte.Te Amo-Riki

  • Love this song, she just makes it a whole lot better.

  • Gorgeous!!!!!!

  • you made the beat promise of all but me a commoner and you royalty well there are walls that surrund us hear the thunder and though i have loved others and seen their great beauty non can compare as l lay my soul bare into every life comes a steady flow of many varied emotion am i an emotional junkie blame it on the movies misspent chidhood and i was paid too quick no too late a rewrite as the walls close speed up davd hobbs

  • If you think this is good, listen to Dusty Springfield's version, yes the one chosen for the DeBeer's Diamond commercial....

  • BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

    my favorite song from Barbra Streisand! thank your for posting it!

  • bella voz las mejores

  • すばらしい!

  • This a very evocative and beautiful song performed here by Ms Streisand.

  • i think mecha streissand is sexier.

  • Never heard this song before, so this is the first version I've heard and it's fabulous! :-)

  • perfection

  • The best female singer ever......

  • I chose this as our Wedding Song, and hoped to listen to it forever soaring in the joy of that day. Sadly, fifteen years later my beloved wife divorced me. Now I cannot listen without tears streaming down my face, even now, 14 years later, even right now as I write this.

  • Barbara! You're like butter!

  • BARBRA IS A NATIONAL TREASURE-NOW THE FIRST LADY OF AMERICAN SONG!

    I LOVE BARBRA'S BEAUTIFUL VOICE AND PHRASING AND DELIVERY! THE WORLD LOVES HER TOO! THIS SONG, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING THE REST OF YOUR LIFE" IS MADE EVEN MORE BEAUTIFUL BY BARBRA'S LOVELY RENDITION OF IT HERE!

  • Thank you very much for sharing this TREASURE!

  • An extraodinary song, done extraordinarily, by an extraordinary singer

  • This song reminds me of a lost love that I was to stupid to realize was meant for only me. Chalk is up to lost youth.

  • Unique and fabouluse person and performer. My favorite CD is Higher Ground, keeps me living.

  • She's THE BEST!!!

  • There's no one like her...

  • Amazing voice!!!!

  • This is a voice that is heaven on earth....

  • I love how she sweetly asks, "Did you like that?"; after singing this song with absolute perfection!!!!

    I wish SHE could appreciate how amazing her voice is!!

  • @chaimdavid She was being polite. She's completely aware of her talent.

  • absolutely divine !!!!!

  • Absolutely Breathtaking and emotive! A true classic

  • Oh my God... you are my angel: you sing and make me fell like breathing and living.

    You mean so eternal to me....

    God Bless you Barbara...Merry Christmas to you!

  • Listen Radio Música para Mimos (search in Google) Best of Love Songs

  • dreadful

  • Uroczeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! *****

  • I attended Ms Barbra's 1994 peformances in London (april 1994), prior to her US tour.

    Like the great Dame Shirley Bassey (who was in the Royal Box with Prince Charles for the Prince's Trust (Charles has been an admirer of BJS since he visited BJS in 1972 when she was recording for ?What's Up Doc, (I Think?). Anyway, seeing BJS or DSB live will change your life!

  • PERFECT! 

  • this is what i walked down the isle to when i got married 23 years ago

  • My Favorite by her. This is why she is Barbra.

  • To Frank and Rod.

  • this sends shivers deep to my bones! i always love the performance of Barbra!

  • This performance is AMAZING, how can you not be touched by Barbra's immaculate interpretation of this classic song. An amazing performance, truly beautiful. I heard her sing it in New Year in 2006, at the Madison Sq Gardens concert. Her performance there was breathtaking - you can catch it on the Live in Concert 2006 CD. thanks for posting

  • Once in a life time does a Streisand come along.

  • where did Babs get that schnozz?... at the Halloween store?... *snicker*

  • This is truly one of my favorite filmed performances. As a Nashville Performer/Singer/songwriter this is a song that is requested often for me to do. I call it a cheater because I mimic the greatest vocalist on earth in my opinion for this song. I just am blessed enough to sound similar to Babs. but there is only one Barbara! She will always be my fave! I stand in awe of the queen of American Music! Love you Barbara!

  • Beautifully arranged. She rarely fails to nail a great song or eclipse so many others who attempt to make it their own. I know many people have a visceral, negative reaction to Streisand but I chalk most of it up to jealousy or her attempt to break away from her early career as a singer and comic actor. She's got the goods, though. I'd give my left arm for that kind of talent.

  • she nails that augmented second..

    but her vibrato is questionable..? 

  • What can you say - it doesn't get any better than this...Barbra performing "What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life?" I sing this on my new collection of love songs old and new, "The Glory of Love" Rob Keiter (Sketchin' Records) featuring an all star cast of musicians from the East and West including Grammy Winner Randy Brecker on trpt/flugelhorn. "The Glory of Love" is now available at Amazon and ITunes.

  • I am so thrilled to have seen this clip here! I have loved this song. Never knew that there was a video of her performance. She did not inlcude it on her dvd/cd concerts. So disappointing! This ought to be part of the official dvd concert release! Such fantastic romantic melody! Thanks Babsfan for posting!

  • 39 people pressed the dislike button mistaken for dis i like!

  • @Candysmears Everybody is entitled to their opinion, however wrong in may be.

  • beautiful voice

  • Great performance...one of the most beautiful songs ever written by one of the greatest vocalists of our time! I recorded this song on my new vocal collection of love songs "The Glory of Love" - (standards & contemporary songs), to be officially released October 26, 2010. Christopher Loudon with JazzTimes writes about the project in his "Healing Voices" column, JazzTimes,, October 18, 2010. May this great song continue to be recorded!

  • Thank you first lady of song, of heart, of love, of joy, of life!

  • After seing the movie with this song in it I searched for it a long time, finally found it by Barbra!

    JUST WONDERFUL!!!

  • Perfect!

    Technique and thrill, she's the top.

  • Evans and Streisand thanks this song its you like a bullet in my heart OUCH!!! Long live music and why it affect us so... Thank you !!!

  • wonderful lyric and performance by one of the great voices and magnetizing performers of our era... always a treat to hear Barbara hold those notes...

    The great Michel LeGrand composed this song...

  • I didnt know she sang this song in one of her tours in 1994. I had a video that I used to watch all the time and never listened to it.

  • This is one of my favorite songs of all times. Barbara does it justice like few can.

  • Her approach to the chord charts will always fascinate me...

  • @JoshuaTaylor

    Josh,

    I think that's a fascinating comment you made. Can you elaborate??????

  • HOW DO I LOVE U FROM AFAR? THIS SONG SAYS IT ALL

  • "I want to see your face in every kind of light

    In feilds of gold and forests of the night

    and when you stand in front of candles of a cake

    let me be the one too hear the silent wish you make........"

  • @cat12275 I do not mean to correct, but here are the lyrics to the bridge: " I want to see your face in every kind of light

    In fields of dawn and forests of the night

    And when you stand before the candles on a cake

    Oh let me be the one to hear the silent wish you make."

  • how can this not move a person to tears....

    goodness....*sigh*

  • @TheMarigold763 Good song but no tears.

  • @pinkydogbear - songs touch us all each differently i guess especially being a sentimental and emotional soul...

  • so what i am doing rest of my life?...working better on it, doing everything to land a footprints to stay in the memory of others,..fame money and honor is not all that we live for,...greater value of ones life is when you discovered that you make others happy and done nothing wrong...and you can sleep without worrying at night.,,

  • The woman does have pipes.

  • Dearest..can you tell me what are you doing for the rest of your life?

  • I love Dusty Springfield's version. This comes a close second!

  • @annwags A Close Second? Don't get me wrong... Loved Dustys' Voice, so smokey, so moody, so Dusty. But Babs' is 1st last and Always the Top!

  • OMG this is the concert that she charged 5000.00 a ticket...I have this on video. this is in here home. I LOVE HER

  • @bklynsunshine1207 no its not ..this the 1994 tour...she was dressed in white also..so i get the confusion ;)

  • @bklynsunshine1207 Actually, the Most $ for a ticket[in front] was $2500 and this was The Concert @ The MGM. You're thinking of the One Voice Concert, which was @ her home. Either one, Brilliant! I Love Her Too!

  • My All time Favorite!!! Love Love Her Barbra Streisand forever #1

  • american idol winner fantasia highly anticipation album title "back to me" comes out on aug 24 and i wouldnt lie to you this album is fire
