 (4 Customer Reviews)
Following the mega-success of the previous year's My Name Is Barbra TV special and two tie-in records, CBS aired Color Me Barbra in March 1966. The album of the same name hit number three two months later and is a gem of a record, a genuinely fun album. Never has Barbra injected so much of her knack for comedy into her songs. Covers, standards, and show tunes are all Streisand-sized and the results are grand numbers with sweeping arrangements and unmistakable vocals.
"One Kiss" is a tender ballad, while Chopin's "The Minute Waltz" is transformed into an upbeat, goofy track. Barbra declares her independence in the similarly brisk "Gotta Move," which includes an excellent horn section. In "Non C'est Rien" she tries her hand at French and "C'est Si Bon" (It's So Good) is a slow, jazzy Gallic spoof. A wonderful medley includes a slow rendition of "What's New Pussycat" and the record concludes with an elegant, yet powerful version of "Starting Here, Starting Now."
This is Barbra Streisand's second TV Special.

I have a vinyl recording of this CD but because of its age they don't sound as clean as when I purchase this back in the 60's. The CD is a perfect replacement.

Before She Was Political!
This album comes from, IMHO, the best period of Barbra's career, when she was a pure entertainer, I think it's one of her best!

Color Me Barbra CD music
$6.95   
For the Streisand completist, purchasing every album she's recorded is money well spent. If you want to cover just the more well-known material in her career, you can buy GREATEST HITS or the JUST FOR THE RECORD box set. But GREATEST HITS VOL 2 is in itself an excellent representation of her 70's material. Included is "Evergreen ...
| | Barbra Streisand Guilty CD (1980)
Color Me Barbra music CDs
$7.59 
Released in September 1980, GUILTY was Barbra Streisand's best-selling album to date, moving in excess of 20 million units. It is Streisand's THRILLER and arguably her best recorded work. This is largely due to producer Barry Gibb, who developed the songs especially for Barbra, and whose vocal presence is felt throughout the record. "Guilty" (a duet with Gibb) is a mid-tempo smash that blends the superstars' vocals to create pop perfection. "Woman In Love" topped the charts for three weeks and features the trademark "chipmunk-like" Gibb on background vocals.
"Run Wild" is an uptempo number showing that there's no filler here. "Promises" is a mid-tempo track that sounds custom-made for radio airplay. "The Love Inside" features excellent keyboard arrangements while "What Kind Of Fool" (another duet with Gibb) is a ballad that proves ...

This is a compilation of earlier hits which includes a previously unreleased track from the show "Cats".
What makes this album unique, and ultimately appealing, is that it's not your run-of-the mill "10 biggest hits." An example is "The Love Inside;" a phenomenal song from "Guilty" that was lost in the shuffle of the duets with Barry Gibb. Including it exposes the ...
| | Barbra Streisand Broadway Album CD (1985) Remastered
Color Me Barbra album
$9.19
Streisand made a triumphant return to her roots in 1985 with THE BROADWAY ALBUM. Rather than record a collection of standards with orchestral accompaniment, she instead chose to create a multi-faceted collection heavily informed by her appreciation for contemporary pop music while still remaining true to the spirit and sound of Broadway. Her newly found affinity for the music of Stephen Sondheim also provided a new angle; never before having included any Sondheim on her records, she performs six of his songs here.
The record opens with Sondheim's exhilarating "Putting It Together," featuring new lyrics that personalize the song into an anthem for Streisand's own life and work. The arrangement has an almost rock-like kinetic energy, sharply contrasting tracks such as "Send In the Clowns" and "Adelaide's Lament." Streisand rethinks some of the classics: THE KING AND ...
