| Barbra
Streisand - the artist of many talents (singer, stage and motion-picture
actor, director, and producer) and the private woman of deep convictions.
Even
in the face of epochal success, it's tempting to ponder what Barbra might
have accomplished had she not spread herself across
so many diverse entertainment media; so much ambition,
so little time. |

Duets
[ORIGINAL
RECORDING
REMASTERED] Barbra Streisand
|
| This
collection of 19 Streisand duets chronicles collaborations with Frank Sinatra
and Judy Garland at one end of the scale and Don Johnson at the other.
It finds the singer dabbling--if, as her bluesy miscue with Ray Charles
on "Crying Time" argues, not necessarily triumphing -- in styles she largely
eschewed elsewhere in her career. Still, her unlikely collaborations with
Barry Gibb ("Guilty," "What Kind of Fool") and Donna Summer ("No More Tears
(Enough Is Enough") during the disco era scored her some of the biggest
successes of her career, ample proof that with the right chemistry,
Streisand could be as powerful a pop music chameleon as she was a diva.
New recordings with veteran Barry Manilow (the warm, low-key "I Won't Be
the One to Let You Go") and Josh Groban (David Foster's overwrought "All
I Know of Love") supplement recordings that stretch from the '60s kitsch-a-go-go
of Harold Arlen's "Ding-Dong! The Witch Is Dead" across five decades of
Streisand's unparalleled career.Jerry McCulley |
