This is Let's Talk to Lucy starring Lucille Ball.

A very warm welcome to you all.

I'm Gary Morton, and now let's talk to Lucy.

Hi, this is Lucy.

I have a good fortune today to have Ms. Barbara Streisand,

the unbelievable new star of Funny Girl, on a Broadway's greatest musicals this season.

And I am particularly interested in Barbara Streisand because I guess she's the newest, the brightest, the most exciting star that I have seen in ages.

She's this generation's shining light.

Barbara, there's one thing I'm going to ask you right off.

How, at your age, and I think it's a tender age of 21, isn't it?

22.

How can you put the feeling into your songs how could you

have lived that much to get the phrasing to get the feeling to get the meaning that you have

and you're and i mean this sincerely i don't care how many other people have asked you i i want to know

your answer how can you know all these things and feel all that? You haven't lived long enough.

Somebody once said I was born 40. But I don't know what that means. Whatever it is, it makes

Well, did you have it like when you were 13 and 14? you feel yes the instinct and the feeling and the

know-how and the knowledge of what all those those feelings were and the suffering that you

put into your songs just the meaning period whether it's happy or sad or you take songs that

most people have been swinging through for years

and make them make you make them meaningful in another way and usually it's people 20 years older than you

that have lived a little that that find that possible i don't know what it is.
