SONGBOOK WITH FRIENDS

Description

What began on the stages of Broadway has transformed into an extraordinary career: over 145 million albums sold, countless awards, and more than six decades at the top of music and film. To this day, Barbra Streisand remains the only artist to have had at least one number one album in the United States for six consecutive decades. Born in Brooklyn in 1942, she grew up in a modest environment. Her exceptional talent revealed itself very early: as a teenager, she recorded her first demos and sang in her school choir, alongside future superstar Neil Diamond. In the early 1960s, she broke through in New York clubs and on television, quickly signing with Columbia Records. Her first album earned her two Grammy Awards in 1964.
Thanks to her leading role in Funny Girl, she conquered Broadway and Hollywood and won the Oscar for Best Actress in 1969. In 1977, she received another Oscar for the song "Evergreen" from the film A Star is Born. Musically, Barbra Streisand has always shown great versatility, effortlessly transitioning from Broadway classics to pop and major film soundtracks. More than sixty albums later, one thing is clear: Barbra Streisand is not the voice of a single era; she is an institution. SONGBOOK WITH FRIENDS is a collection of true rarities, enriched with remarkable interpretations of her songs by her close musical collaborators.
