Yentl....love theme Barbra Streisand & Johnny Mathis

The way he makes me feel/The way she
makes me feel.
Barbra Streisand and Johnny Mathis, always a
great duet. I am very surprised how
similar in tone and styling are the
voices of Mandy Patinkin and Johnny Mathis.
The film YENTL only had vocals by Barbra.
We could get an idea of how this scene would
have worked as a "mental duet" between
Yentl and Avigdor.
Mandy Patinkin is a great performer, becoming famous as "Che" Guevara in the
broadway musical EVITA.
Johnny Mathis as a singer is also a great
actor. His phrasing of the lyrics is unique.

Personally I think this works really well, good work. I'm completely in love with Streisand and her voice does blend well with Mathis ("One Hand, One Heart/I Have A Love" anyone) but it's a shame there's such discontinuity here. Good video though

You may be right. I was surprised by how well

Mathis sang this song from Yentl, that I find that he sings more lyrics than Barbra in my video. Many critics have always mentioned that Mandy Patinkin should have sang in the

movie. I'm not so sure.

Just got my 25th Anniversary Yentl DVD. The remastering is so great and the extra features show and explain so many things I've never noticed before in this wonderful movie. Barbra Streisand is the most amazing and talented human being to ever walk the Earth.

@virgiwonka91 Uhhh, no ... that would be Mandy Patinkin, who's pictured here with Barbra.  Johnny Mathis is the male singer in this recording.

when YENTL Came out I got a bunch of my friends to drop ACID and join me at the CINERAMA DOME on Hollywood & Vine to trip on Barbra 3 strories high and half way around ythe auditorium...THEY FREAKED OUT !! It was too much for them. essp PAPA CAN YOU HEAR ME. which is mostly extreeme close-ups and on that giant screen, her nose was the size of a buick! FRIGHTENING! (I loved it ) but, to this day those friends still call me MENTYL!!

[lparnell39]

she should have called Barry Gibb

I will never understand why Mandy did not get to sing in this movie ..or, at least this song. I have always felt that he had the ability to upstage Barbra and I am a huge Barbra fan. But, to support the movie and the chemistry between them, she should have put her ego aside and let him sing.
