"He Touched Me," written by Milton Schafer and Ira Levin for the Broadway musical 'Drat! the cat!, is from one of my all time favorite albums, My Name Is Barbra, Two..., recorded in 1965 for a television special. The wonderful arrangement is by Don Costa who also conducted. The album is available on CD on Columbia.

Could you imagine being in the studio when Barbra laid down this track, being one of the musicians or producers? Listening in person as her voices soared through the stratosphere and then even higher on "Suddenly!" in the final phrase? I don't understand how they kept it together to actually perform the orchestration or push stop on the recorder. Oh to be there!!!

@alliecat1941 I have. Just one touch.

This song is operatic in scope, with the best ending I've ever heard. I get goosebumps the size of watermelons every time I hear it. My mother loved Barbra so much, I think it got into my genes, and my only child, my daughter, LOOKS like her except for her nose! She looks absolutely nothing like me.
She can also sing, while I have a hideous voice.

This LP is my favorite of all the many wonderful Streisand albums. And this is one of my favorite songs. She was at the pinnacle of her career, during this period. What a beautiful and powerful voice. And the orchestration is sublime. It makes me weep.
