Barbra Streisand - Birth of a Legend: 1961-1962 Live Recordings (2021)

These recordings present Barbra Streisand immediately before she exploded onto the US market in 1963, with her first two million-selling Columbia albums. This unique collection is drawn from several unfeasibly rare live recordings during 1961-62, featuring various TV, radio and club performances, including the Ed Sullivan Show, and includes side recorded at the Bon Soir nightclub in New York. A number of these songs e,g. "A Sleepin' Bee", "When The Sun Comes Out", "My Colouring Book", "Lover, Come Back To Me", "Happy Days Are Here Again", "Value" and "Bewitched, Bothered And Bewildered" were integral features of Streisand's early 60s repertoire. These recordings are as rare as hens' teeth and are largely unavailable elsewhere. This is the companion to another, earlier Streisand/Jasmine release, "Birth Of A Legend... 1962 Studio Recordings"
