Last week I was asked to play music for a couple of events at the hospital where I volunteer. Easy listening was requested and Barbra Streisand was one of the artists I played. I hadn't listened to her in ages and it made me want to more. An idea came over me to compile a single-disc career-spanning retrospective since none has been commercially released. I used Billboard magazine as a guide and put together 19 of Barbra's 21 top 40 hits. The exceptions are Where You Lead and Kiss Me In The Rain because I don't have them on compact disc...yet. However, the former is included in a medley on my compilation.
Following is my end result. The songs are in order from highest to lowest charting:
Woman In Love
Love Theme From "A Star Is Born" (Evergreen)
The Way We Were
No More Tears (Enough Is Enough) (with Donna Summer)
You Don't Bring Me Flowers (with Neil Diamond)
Guilty (with Barry Gibb)
The Main Event/Fight
My Heart Belongs To Me
People
Stoney End
I Finally Found Someone (with Bryan Adams)
What Kind Of Fool (with Barry Gibb)
Comin' In And Out Of Your Life
Love Theme From "Eyes Of Laura Mars" (Prisoner)
'Til I Loved You (with Don Johnson)
Songbird
Second Hand Rose
Sweet Inspiration/Where You Lead
The Way He Makes Me Feel
I'm looking forward to reacquainting myself with my Streisand collection in general.
