Barbara Joan Streisand (/ˈstraɪsænd/; born April 24, 1942),
known professionally as Barbra Streisand, is an American singer, actress, and
filmmaker. With a career spanning over six decades, she has achieved success in
multiple fields of entertainment, and is among the few performers awarded an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony(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,
insisting that she retain full artistic control, and accepting lower pay in
exchange, an arrangement that continued throughout her career, and released her
debut The Barbra
Streisand Album(1963), which won the Grammy Award
for Album of the Year. Throughout her recording
career, Streisand has topped the US Billboard 200chart with 11 albums—a record for a woman—including People(1964),
The Way We Were(1974), Guilty(1980),
and The Broadway Album(1985).
She also achieved five number-one singles on the US Billboard Hot 100—"The Way We
Were", "Evergreen",
"You Don't
Bring Me Flowers", "No More Tears
(Enough Is Enough)", and "Woman in Love".
Following her established recording success
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. Additional fame followed with
films including the extravagant musical Hello, Dolly!(1969),
the screwball comedy What's Up,
Doc?(1972), and the romantic drama The Way We Were(1973).
Streisand won a second Academy
Awardfor writing the love theme from A Star Is
Born(1976), 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 for 37 years, the only) woman to win that award.
Streisand later directed The Prince of
Tides(1991) and The Mirror
Has Two Faces(1996).
A Love Like Ours is the twenty-eighth studio
album by American singer Barbra Streisand. It was
released in North America on September 21, 1999, and Europeon September
20, 1999. It
is her 23rd Top 10 album in the US. This was Streisand's first
commercial release since her marriage to actor James Brolin. Much of the material was inspired
by this event. As such, the disc booklet contains images of her and Brolin.
The album did not achieve the success of
Streisand's two previous albums, debuting at Nº 6 in the US with sales of
145,000 copies in the first week. It was eventually certified Gold and Platinum.
"We Must Be Loving Right" was
previously recorded by George Straiton his 1993 album Easy Come, Easy Go. Both
Strait's original and Streisand's cover were produced by Tony Brown.
I've dreamed of you
Always feeling you were there
And all my life
I have searched for you everywhere
I caught your smile in the morning sun
I heard your whisper on the breeze at night
I prayed one day that your arms
Would hold me tight
And just when I thought love had passed me by
We met
That first look in your eyes
I can't forget
You melted me with your tender touch
I felt all fear and sorrow slip away
Now here we stand, hand in hand
This blessed day
I promise you as I give to you
My heart
That nothing, nothing in this world
Shall keep us apart
Come happily ever after be
The man I love until the very end
I've dreamed of you, my great love
And my best friend
For God must know how I love you so
He's blessed us here today as man and wife
Come dream with me as I've dreamed of you
All my life
Come dream with me
As I have dreamed of you
All my life.

period include "Sugar Town",

duet with her father), two versions of the title
songfrom the James Bondfilm You Only Live
Twice(1967), several collaborations with Lee Hazlewood–
including "Summer Wine",
"Jackson",
"Lady Bird" and "Some Velvet
Morning" – and a non-single 1966 cover of the Cherhit "Bang Bang (My
Baby Shot Me Down)", which features in the
opening credits of Quentin Tarantino's 2003
film Kill Bill Volume 1.
