In November 1960, an 18-year-old young woman walked into a nightclub in New York City.

She was there to sing. She didn't know that singers there usually dress up in satin gallons

for the occasion. She wore an outfit she had salvaged from a thrift store.

But it didn't seem to matter that she looked a little out of place. The buzz, the began at that club,

the bone suar, got the young woman a record deal. Two years later, she returned to that same nightclub

and a record executive introduced her to the crowd.

On behalf of Columbia Records, I should like to welcome you here to the live recording session

of Barbara Streisand.

Streisand. She corrected him. Her last name was Streisand, like sand on the beach. Don't swallow the

S. Barbara Streisand's name might have been unfamiliar in 1962. It is definitely not today. She is

one of the best-selling artists of all time. She is one multiple Emmys, Grammys, Oscars, and Atonia

Ward. The recordings that Barbara Streisand made at the bone suar were supposed to become her debut

album. Instead, they sat in a vault for 60 years. There's a lot in that vault.

Now there's one fewer item in it. Streisand and her team dusted off the recordings and remastered

them. The album with those remastered songs came out a few weeks ago. It's called Live at the Bone Suar.

Not long ago, Streisand's friends listened to the new album and sent her a message.

He wrote, I listened to Live at the Bone Suar and wonder what it was like to work on it again.

All these years later, spending time in the past, colliding with the present with a lifetime in

between. That's what we're talking about today. The collision of past and present in the life

of music legend Barbara Streisand. She and I talk about her performance from 60 years ago

and what it reveals about the singer she is today. This is up for Sunday. I'm Rachel Martin.
