Barbara Joan "Barbra" Streisand (/ˈstraɪsænd/; born April 24, 1942) is
an American singer and actress. 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 200 chart 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".
The Essential Barbra Streisand (retitled The
Ultimate Collection in some European countries) is the fifth greatest hits
album by American singer Barbra Streisand,
released on January 29, 2002, by Columbia Records.
The compilation
features 38 songs from Streisand's catalog, in addition to two previously
unreleased tracks (covers of "Someday My Prince Will Come" and
"You'll Never Walk Alone"). It
includes material from 26 of the singer's albums and was described as a
collection of, mainly, her pop songs. A
reissued version of the compilation was distributed by Columbia and Legacy Recordings in 2008 and includes a bonus disk featuring nine additional songs
from Streisand's discography.
Critically,
the album was noted for being a comprehensive and complete view of her
discography, unlike her previous greatest hits releases. It
topped the charts in Ireland, Scotland, and the United Kingdom, and peaked at
number 15 on the Billboard 200 in the United States. The Essential Barbra Streisand also reached
the top ten in several countries and was included on four year-end lists. The album has since been
certified Platinum in Australia, Europe, New Zealand, Spain, and the United
States, and multi-platinum in the United Kingdom.
I believe for every drop of rain that falls
A flower grows
I believe that somewhere in the darkest night
A candle glows
I believe for
everyone who goes astray
Someone will come to show the way
I believe
I believe
I believe above the
storm the smallest prayer
Will still be heard
And I believe that someone in the great somewhere
Hears every word
Every time I hear a
newborn baby cry
Or touch a leaf, or see the sky
Then I know why
I believe
When you walk through
a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of the
storm
Is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark
Walk on through the
wind
Walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone
I believe
I believe
I believe.
