Barbara Joan "Barbra" Streisand (/ˈstraɪsænd/;
born April 24, 1942) is an American singer, actress, and filmmaker. With a
career spanning seven decades, she has achieved success in multiple fields of
entertainment and is one of the few entertainers who have been awarded
an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Award (EGOT).
Streisand
began her career by performing in nightclubs and Broadway theaters in the early
1960s. Following her guest appearances on various television
shows, she signed to Columbia Records and released her debut album, The Barbra Streisand Album (1963). It won
two Grammy Awards,
including Album of the Year. Throughout her recording
career, Streisand has topped the US Billboard
200 chart with 11 albums—a record for a
woman—including People (1964), The Way We Were (1974), Guilty (1980), and Higher Ground (1997). She has attained five number-one singles on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart: "The
Way We Were", "Evergreen",
"You Don't Bring Me Flowers",
"No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)",
and "Woman in Love".
After becoming an established recording
artist in the 1960s, Streisand ventured into film by the end of that decade. She
starred in the critically acclaimed Funny
Girl (1968), for which she won the Academy Award for Best Actress. Her
other films include Hello,
Dolly! (1969), The Way We Were (1973), Nuts (1987), The
Prince of Tides (1991) and A Star Is Born (1976), for
which she won her second Academy Award, composing music for the love
theme "Evergreen",
the first woman to be honored as a composer. With the release of Yentl (1983), Streisand became the first woman to write, produce, direct,
and star in a major studio film. The film won an Oscar for Best Score and a
Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture Musical.
Streisand also received the Golden Globe Award for Best Director,
becoming the first and only woman to win that award.
With sales of over 150 million records
worldwide, Streisand is one of the best-selling recording artists of all time.
The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) lists her as the highest-certified female album
artist with 68.5 million album units in the
United States. Billboard honored Streisand as the greatest Billboard 200 female artist of all
time. Her accolades include two Academy
Awards, ten Grammy Awards including the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and the Grammy
Legend Award, five Emmy Awards,
four Peabody Awards,
the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and
nine Golden
Globes.
"Left in the Dark" is a song by Jim Steinman from his only solo album Bad for
Good.
The song gained more notice as performed by Barbra Streisand when released as the lead single from her album Emotion in autumn 1984. It was also recorded
by Meat Loaf on the album Welcome to the Neighbourhood in 1995.
Where did she touch
you,
How did if feel,
Why did you let it begin
What did she whisper and
What did it mean, and
Where do you think it will end?
How long did it last
Do you think it will stop
Did you get to try anything...new
How good was she – honestly
Where did you go and
Who made the very first move, who made the very first move,
Who made the very first move..
You don't have to
sneak in the doorway
Just come on into the room
I've been lying in our bed in the dark all alone
And I've been waiting, I've been waiting for you
There's been no
reason to move
It's been as still as a tomb
I needed you oh so badly tonight
But I guess you had better things to do
I should have known
that it was coming to this
But I must have been blind
I bet you still got a trace of her love in your eyes
And you've still got her eyes on your mind
You swore you'd be
with me at 7 o'clock
Now it's a quarter to 3
And whatever you got and whoever it was
I guess you couldn't get it from me
Whatever you got and whoever it was
I guess you couldn't get it from me
I know that you love
me
There's no need to talk
I see the look in your eyes and I got the proof
And there are no lies on your body
As I see you undress ooooh
I just want to get at the truth
I know that you love me
There's no need to talk
I see the look in your eyes and I got the proof
And there are no lies on your body
As I watch you undress
I just want to get at the truth
There are so many
thing that I've just just gotta know
You tell me who! You
tell me where! You tell me when!
But don't tell me now , I don't need any answers tonight
I just need some love so turn out the lights and
I'll be left in the dark again
I'll be left in the dark again
I'll be left in the dark again
Left in the dark again
I should have known that it was coming to this
But I must have been blind
I bet you still got a trace of her love in you eyes
And you still got her eyes on your mind
You swore you'd be
with me at 7 o'clock
Now it's a quarter to 3
And whatever you got and whoever it was
I guess you couldn't get it from me
I guess you couldn't get it from me
But down in my soul, down in my soul
I know-
I know that you love me
There's no need to talk
I see the look in your eyes and I got the proof
And there are no lies on your body
As I watch you undress oooooh
I just want to get at the truth
And there are so many
things
That I've just got to know
You tell me who! You
tell me where!
You tell me when! But
don't tell me now
I don't need any answers tonight...
I just need some love so turn out the lights and
I'll be left in the dark again
I just need some love
So turn out the lights and I'll be left in the dark again
I just need some love
So turn out the lights and I'll be left in the dark again
I just need some love
So turn out the lights and I'll be left in the dark again
I just need some love
So turn out the light and I'll be left in the dark again
I just need some love
So turn out the lights and I'll be left in the dark again...
Left in the dark again.
