Yes. I was born in 1969, so Barbara Streisand was already a mega star when I became aware of her name when the radio played her songs. She had been in a movie or two, but musicals. I think of her as a singer who can act. Many people think of her this way.

Pop culture reference: if you ever watched GLEE, Barbra Streisand is who both Rachel, and the actress who played her, Lea Michele, aspired to be. Recently, Lea Michele was cast in Broadway’s Funny Girl to rave reviews. Funny Girl, the Broadway musical AND the Hollywood film/musical is what shot Barbra Streisand to fame and fortune. To her delight and wish fulfillment; Lea Michele received a Gold envelope from Ms Streisand congratulating her and commending her on having done an excellent job bringing Fanny Brice back to Broadway.

Actually, if you ask Barbra, she describes herself as an "actress who sings..." primarily because acting was her first love and she had to work hard at it... singing came naturally and was initially just a means to survive until she could land acting jobs. But once the world heard that magnificent and unique voice, she couldn't turn back. She's an excellent actress too, both drama and comedy.

Barbra Streisand started out on Broadway. She is a phenomenal singer. Evergreen is from the 1976 version of "A Star is Born." I love all the music from that movie. She also killed it in the movies "Funny Girl" and "Hello Dolly" with her amazing singing and acting. In addition to the duets you mentioned, she did a great duet with Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees.

She is one of the greatest! You must dive into her catalog. Singer, actress, director.

She was made her mark as a singer long before she started acting. She started singing professionally at age 13. I remember when she first came on the scene. Her first movie was Funny Girl in 1968 at age 25. Her first hit song was People. She also recorded Memory from the play Cats. Others include "Woman in Love", "The Way We Were", "You Don't Bring Me Flowers", "Hello Dolly" and many many more that she recorded over the years.

She is a true living legend. One of the very best singers ever!

She doesn't sing, she SANGING. She is one of the BEST vocalist that ever existed.

You two have to watch the movie The Way We Were. It stars Barbra, and Robert Redford. It is a beautiful love story where Barbra does the songs in it. It's one of my favorite movies.

It would be like saying "OMG Michael Jackson dances".

She is one of music's greatest vocalists ever.

Barbra's "Woman in Love" and "Memories" are just a few of her huge collection of hits.

Barbra Streisand was a singer before she was an actor/movie producer. Evergreen is a song from her 1976 movie with Kris Kristofferson called A Star is Born, and was one of the songs sung at our wedding in 1979. She's done tons of duets with famous singers; most notably Celine Dion (they are both powerhouse belters!) Barbra Streisand is probably most known for her hit The Way We Were from the movie of the same name. She's an iconic international superstar! kzread.info/dash/bejne/nIhkq7qNiKTUndI.html

One of the best female singers who also acted .

Asking if Barbara Streisand can sing is like asking if a fish swims or a bird flys. She was the voice of a generation. The song 'Evergreen' is from the movie 'A Star is Born' she starred in with Kris Kristofferson. Listen to that version of this song from the movie.

She had the most amazing breath control. She can hold a note longer than anyone.

Barbra Streisand is the only singer male or female to ever have a #1 hit six decades in a row!

I've seen several young music reactors say the same thing, that they thought Streisand was just an actor. Then, they find out that not only does she sing but that she had hit after hit in the 1960s and '70s and that she started out as a Broadway star in the early 1960s, singing in musicals, and became a director of films in the 1980s. It's for her voice that she's best known, though, which is why it always stuns me when people these days don't know that she can sing.

It is funny to see the reaction of younger people when they see Streisand sing. Barbra is a living legend. Wish they would view her films to see her brilliance!!! Does not get any better then Barbra Streisand as a singer/ actress/director/ producer/song writer and humanitarian.

She is a REAL legend !

She's in a league of her own. One maybe the greatest singer ever. I remember her back in 1965 singing the great song People. She had so many great songs.

Omg guys you have no idea who this woman is….she is a legend! She’s an actress, singer, director won so so many awards. You have to watch some of her movie.

She sang the song Evergreen in the movie A Star Is Born!!! She sang and played in countless movies. She starred in the movie with Robert Redford in The Way We Were. She sings the theme song The Way We Were. I have followed her career since the 70's. Great actress and singer! What a legend. ❤️

You should do “woman in love”. Probably the greatest voice of her generation and more!

Yes, this song was very popular as a wedding song at the time. She won a Grammy Award and an Academy Award and a Golden Globe Award for this song - she co-wrote it with Paul Williams.

There's so much to say about this icon with a career spanning over 6 decades. Her first movie was Funny Girl back in 1968 her first album titled "The Barbra Streisand Album" and at the age of 13 she had a hit record titled "You'll Never Know". Barbra Streisand was the 1st woman to write, produce, direct and star in a major studio film titled "Yentl". There's another song of hers you'll love, it's titled, "The Way We Were" in which there's a movie of the same title and Barbra stars in it along with Robert Redford. Really, this was awesome, thanks!

No More Tears (Enough Is Enough) is a duet did with Donna Summer. You haven't reacted to Donna in a very long time. You should react to her again perhaps Last Dance, Mac Arthur Park, On The Radio. Prisoner by Barbra is a great song theme to the movie The Eyes of Laura Mars.

Dee you're a star! You were so shy when you first started your reactions. You guys should give a listen to Barbara's "The Way We Were".

Maybe the greatest singer ever, award winning actress from stage and screen, movie director and producer, songwriter, and perfectionist. I still have the album she did with Barry Gibb. Pick any song of hers, solo or collaboration. Pick any movie.

The world first came to know Barbra Steisand in the early '60s as a singer. That took her to Broadway and movie musicals where she could also demonstrate that she could act. Which led to more acting: comedies and dramas. And also directing and producing. She's among the small elite group of EGOTs, having won at least one Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony. Perhaps she's won multiples of each, I don't know.

It's so cute to see people realize that the greatest singer is a singer 😅

She has always been a singer who acts. A great singer!

Tons of accolades and awards, and many who consider this woman's vocal and interpretative abilities as simply the GOAT!! You think you're amazed now... you're about to traverse a career that will blow your mind. Def listen to her duets with Neil Diamond, Donna Summer, and Celine Dion, to name a few of the dozens of huge stars that have had the pleasure and a lifelong dream [their words] to sing with her. This particular song, "Evergreen" (like "Shallow" today) is the theme song (cowritten by Barbra) to the 1976 version of a "Star Is Born" starring Barbra and Kris Kristofferson; which, like 'Shallow,' won an Oscar. You should def watch her version of this movie...imo, the best. The closing song alone will leave you in a puddle of tears on the floor. I'm subscribing to your channel and look forward to more reactions on this once-in-a-millenia superstar who has held the record of most #1 albums ever by a female, until recently tied by Taylor Swift. She's also the only artist who's had a #1 album in six consecutive decades. Enjoy the ride. Her name btw is pronounced StrI-sand.

I know reactors hate to hear "How can you never have heard of (fill in the blank)!" & I never say it. But I had to laugh at myself 'cause it's the first thing that popped into my head. Ms. Streisand is quite literally one of THE most famous & beloved singers in music history, starting in the 60's & on to this day (not just the 70's & 80's as some commenters said). Others have listed some of her astounding accomplishments. She is the true definition of an icon. I hope you listen to more of her gorgeous voice..."The Way We Were" is a good place to start. And the movie is a great one. So is "A Star Is Born" with Barbra & Kris Kristofferson (another icon) as starcrossed lovers in the music business. And it's better than the remake with Lady Gaga imo. Love you guys! Keep going. 💙☮💙☮💙☮💙☮💙☮💙

You both are adorable but oh, my, not to know who Barbra Streisand is as a singer is shocking. The greatest singer of her generation. You got a lot to listen to.

She first became famous on Broadway. There are some early videos of her on Judy Garland’s show. She did the films “ Funny Girl”, “On a Clear Day”, “A Star s Born” all very musical, and the title song to “The Way We Were”. She did lots f others but that would give you a sampling.

Guys you'll be surprised at all she has done professionally, singing and acting. So talented! One of her biggest movies is Yentl.

I was born in 1959, Ms Streisand first song was released in 1962 and first album in 1963. I’ve always known her and her music and enjoyed all her movies. Seeing young people discover this amazing talent always makes me happy and ancient at the same time❤

Just listen you guys, let it build!! lol, it was a wedding song. I had it at my wedding! Listen to her other songs. They are powerful. She started as a singer, and still sings to this day. In between that, she made several movies. She still sings at 80..

I was fortunate to see her in concert a couple times. She's got a once-in-a-generation voice.

Barbra Streisand is one of the best singers of the last century. Check out her work from the 1960s to the present. Her appearance with Judy Garland on the Judy Garland Show in 1964 (?) is on KZread and is a favorite of mine. She's amazing.

Guys...where have you BEEN? Ms. Streisand (Strie-sand) is one of the greatest vocalists of all time! She was a HUGE star on Broadway at quite a young age and move from that to the "big screen", making a huge number of hit records in the way. She is also an uber successful director. Incredibly talented lady!!! Two Oscars, a slew of Grammys AND a Tony.

Funny Girl was a Broadway musical, and she starred in it. The movie came out in 1968 and she brought the house down. Don't Rain on my Parade is amazing.

This song and The Way We Were are my two favorite Barbara Streisand songs. This song always gives me chills!
