She made her own of the score of Hello Dolly... for all that she was too young for the role... she carried it off beautifully and her singing throughout is sublime... go Barbra go!

Greatest example of talent overcoming any qualms about miscasting- Barbra brings such conviction to "Parade" and elsewhere, the notion Dolly really should be mid-life becomes a non-factor.

What makes that last note so amazing, are all the notes leading up to it! She was, and always will be...the best! Barbra!

There has never been , or ever will be someone to match the genius of Barbra Streisand.She combines a fantastic singing voice, and wonderful acting ability.

The final crane shot, with Streisand and hundreds of extras, I still find it glorious.

Barbra can really belt out a tune. That last note is incredible. Barbra's voice is unwavering and just as strong to the end.

The Hello Dolly movie was woefully out of place in 1969 Vietnam/Nixon-era America. But it has aged very well. It's like an old-fashioned operetta with great singing and dancing. It evokes a long-ago world. A wonderful step back in time.

In her prime, she was the best. The perfection, the respect for each syllable. Brilliance. I love her in this performance of a lifetime. Unquestionable, Star of stars !!!!

Her interpretation of this score is incomparable. Other actresses can and should shine in this role but no one ever sang it like Streisand.

The long note at the end...spectacular

No one can sing like Barbra Streisand

My mother bought this album back in 1969. I remember listening to it almost every day until 1972. What a voice! What glorious music! It was one of the best movie scores of 1969. She looked really beautiful in that movie. You are right the last note is pure genius sung with unbriddled passion capable of shatering glass. One of the greatest female vocalists of the century!

And the movie was a complete flop. Hired in her late 20s for a character in her 50s, Hollywood once again got it wrong. Natalie Wood in West Side Story, was a prime example because she couldnt sing a note. Absolutely the most awful casting was Lucy as Mame, a 3 pack a day smoker like she was on I Love Lucy, most musical numbers in movies were dubbed by singer Marni Nixon. Yes Streisand could sing, but she barely pulled it off as Dolly. Ask Carol Channing.

I first saw it in a college town revival house in the mid-70's. I was afraid the long-haired 'hip' kids would be jeering at this old-fashioned musical but they loved it. And I never understood the 'too young' thing. Chronologically she was, but Streisand's very unusual face doesn't really look like any specific 'age' to me. I don't think anyone could've been better.

+Raymond Maurer Though Streisand performed both songs admirably, the director would have to go with this version. The other one has so many tempo changes and breaks, no marching band could ever play a song this way while marching. This version is the only version that makes sense in the context of the film's setup to use a marching band in a parade. Actually, I'm assuming the alternate version may have been intended as a Streisand single rather than be used in the context of the film. Streisand sometimes re-recorded her film tracks in a more contemporary way for use on an album or to be released as a single in support of the film.

She was obviously too young for the role. She was obviously cast not because she "fit" the role better but she was a bigger movie star than the other actresses who had done the role and were more age-appropriate. But Streisand OWNED this part by the end of the movie. She sells the hell out of the songs and is note-perfect for the comedy scenes.

@brinhauptmann8133: She didn’t own ANYTHING by the end of the money. She was still too young, her voice does not sing in character but like a pop singer and her comedy-imitating Mae West-was because Gene Kelly offered her no help; I mean she’s no dancer! The studio got a name property and kept adding “names” as in the star or director but in the end it didn’t mix well. The film was not a success and lost money on a $28.8 million investment $8.8 million over budget.) The could have hired Streisand for “Irene Molloy”, a director like Vincent Minnelli or Gower Champion and then a middle aged star to play “Dolly” who didn’t have to be Carol Channing. But they didn’t.

This song I listened to a lot during my breakup with my ex boyfriend but now I'm gonna feel my heart coming alive again before the parade passes by

I watch this movie over and over and it always amazes me. I fell in love with this movie the very first time I saw it . When I watch it with my husband he always says when she sings hello dolly and the song is over he says rewind it rewind it so I can see her sing hello dolly again. Lol

Just compared this rendiition with Ms. Midler.... I know its not a competition and one can enjoy both but.... the wistful subtleness of Barbra's intro is terrific - as young as she was she gets the mood of widow reclaiming her life....

The best singing of this musical by the extraordinary Barbra Streisand who manages emotive vocal moments throgh all this wonderfull songs. I love you Barbra for this deluxe performance

irvinemuscle No, your comment should be "It's a production that happens to be a musical" a play and a musical are very different. A play is a production with no songs performed. Then there is a play with music which is a production were there are songs performed during the production, but it's a performance in the play world as well, with an audience in the play. A musical is a production that has songs performed about whats happening in the show with no in show audience, though there may be musicals that have songs that also have in show audiences, ex. Jersey Boys, and Dream Girls. Then there are Opera's which are productions were everything is sung, and no lines are said.

Dolly did not flop. It was one of the highest-grossing films the year it was released. Fox simply went bananas and this musical was blown way up and way out of proportion at an astronomical cost. With Streisand it about broke even. There was a large negative cost for advertising. However, with sales to television, VHS and DVD's it eventually nosed into the black. Without Streisand as Dolly it would have grossed ten dollars.

I love Mrs Levi. I saw Hello Dolly! Years ago and I still love it.

Barbra Streisand voice transcends in each song. Unique she is. Marvelous song this one

Before the parade passes by Before it goes on And only I'm left Before the parade passes by I've gotta get in step while there's still time left I'm ready to move out in front Life without life has no reason or rhyme left With the rest of them With the best of them I wanna hold my head up high I need a goal again I need a drive again I wanna feel my heart coming alive again Before the parade passes by Before the parade passes by I've gotta go and taste Saturday's high life Before the parade passes by I've gotta get some life back into my life I'm ready to move out in front I've had enough of just passing by life With the rest of them With the best of them I can hold my head up high For I've got a goal again I've got a drive again I wanna feel my heart coming alive again Before the parade passes by When the parade passes by Listen and hear that brass harmony growing When the parade passes by Pardon me if my old spirit is showing All of those lights over there Seem to be telling me where I'm going When the whistles blow And the cymbals crash And the sparklers light the sky I'm gonna raise the roof I'm gonna carry on Give me an old trombone Give me an old baton Before the parade passes by!

the brass sections sounds amazing

The parade scene was VERY expensive. Gene Kelly had to fight 20th Century Fox to keep the epic staging in the movie. So many actors and extras, costumes, instruments, animals, and props it almost bankrupted the studio. But it still remains the most fantastically entertaining part of the entire movie.

Gene Kelly and Walter Matthau were a$$holes to Streisand. It was her idea to start with a close up and then expand at the end of this song to show the whole parade. Kelly wanted to start wide and end with a close up. He filmed it both ways and determined Streisand’s way was better. She could have directed it much better and then wouldn’t have had to put up with Kelly’s and especially Matthau’s vileness.

I never understood the "too young" business. Dolly could easily be 30 (which in 1890 was not really young): married at 16, widowed at 23. It makes perfect sense. And in those days it wasn't considered entirely respectable for a widow to remarry. So can you blame a "too young" Dolly for singing "Before the Parade Passes By"?

Can you please upload the finale song from the movie?
