| 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 |
