Barbra Streisand - My Name Is Barbra

About My Name Is Barbra by Barbra Streisand Album

My Name Is Barbra is the first of two studio album tie-ins to Barbra Streisand's Emmy Award-winning CBS-TV debut My Name Is Barbra television special, which aired on April 28, 1965, choreographed by Joe Layton. Barbra's brother Sheldon shot the front cover photograph when she was 5 years-old. The album was certified gold and peaked at #2 on the US charts. A digitally restored / remastered CD was released. "Why Did I Choose You?" - On the CD, the long version (3:46) appears, but on the vinyl LP the short version (2:46) appears. "Where Is The Wonder" was contributed by Dion McGregor and his roommate Michael Barr, and one of the few times they were successful in getting one of their songs recorded. It was also released as a single. McGregor and Barr had sent many songs to publishers and been unsuccessful in getting them recorded, so they saw Barbra's rendition as a breakthrough in their songwriting career. Whilst McGregor was not a performer himself, he did become known for his elaborate sleeptalking, as recorded by Barr and chronicled on the Decca LP "The Dream World Of Dion McGregor" the previous year, as well as on several archival releases since. Streisand won a Best Vocal Performance, Female Grammy award for the album, her third in this category and fourth overall. In NRARS award, Barbra was named best-selling female vocalist of 1965.

- Cammi Lance

So many memories! I was 5 when I first heard this album, my sister and I played it over and over and over and over on the record player!! We danced and sang all the words to the songs! It will forever be one of my favorite albums!! My mom was a huge fan of Ms Streisand and we followed in her footsteps!

- Classic Barbara

This is a great collection of songs by some of the most talented composers ever to put musical pen to paper, sung by a brilliant interpreter and vocalist. From the joyous, silly and even touching "I'm Five/A Kid Again" to her thrilling performance of "My Man," Streisand confirms her place as the definitive female vocalist of her generation.

- Love this one!

This has to be my favorite album, because my mother picked my name from it!!! I always remember thinking as a child that she did the song Jenny Rebecca, just for me. Imagine my disappointment as I got older & realized it wasn't!

- Oldie Goldie

One of the best Albums/now cds ever done. Love the orchestra and Barbara's vocals are above reproach.

- Love the Album!

I purchased this album to replace an old vinyl that I had when I was much younger. Great array of Barbra's talent and humor. My only complaint is that the track "My name is Barbra" doesn't really qualify as a whole song, so 99¢ is kind of a rip off for that one.

- A Fifth Of Barbra

This lp is Barbra's fifth release and is a soundtrack recording based on her television special of the same name "My Name Is Barbra." While some of the songs display Barbra's sense of humor it was also a platform for some of her strongest vocal performances, namely the last three songs. "If You Were The Only Boy In The World" has an almost Bossa Nova break, "Why Did I Choose You" is a sweeping melodic piece that was edited for the "Greatest Hits" lp, "My Man" would become a Streisand staple and was included in the "Funny Girl" stage play and subsequent big screen production. The mastering of this disc is top-notch.

- Love this album!

This album is amazing. Some of the songs are comedic and give this album a funny side, and then others are just sung beautifully like all Barbra's songs. I just love Barbra Streisand and i think this album is nicely balanced between comedic and serious songs and it is definately worth buying.
