Streisand - The Television Specials This opulent
5-disc collection includes: Color Me Barbra - the second special, like the first, showcases Barbra solo, front and center but in a more relaxed, playful mood. This was her first choreographed by the legendary Joe Layton who went on to stage Barbra's next TV outings. The Belle of 14th Street - while some of these specials were released on video in the 1980s, this one remained unseen since the first broadcast. Belle contains performances by Jason Robards and vaudeville's John Bubbles. A Happening in Central Park - the famous live concert that spawned a hit album with "Cry Me a River," "Second Hand Rose," "People," "Happy Days Are Here Again," and others. Barbra Streisand... and Other Musical Instruments - after a 5 year lull, Barbra returned to TV with this spectacular one-hour program with some wonderful duet and solo numbers with Ray Charles. Again, this is a first time release, unseen since 1973. Also included are Streisand's original 1987 video introductions for My Name Is Barbra, Color Me Barbra, and A Happening in Central Park and a booklet with detailed liner notes, photos, and song lists (art directed by the Diva herself, of course). Here
are some sample video "I'm Five" (from My Name Is Barbra) - (Quicktime) "I Stayed Too Long At The Fair/Look At That Face" (from Color Me Barbra) - (Real player) "I Stayed Too Long At The Fair/Look At That Face" (from Color Me Barbra) - (Quicktime) "Mother Macree" (from The Belle Of 14th Street) - (Real player) "Mother Macree" (from The Belle Of 14th Street) - (Quicktime) The only special missing from this era was the live concert Streisand did on CBS in 1974 for the opening of Funny Lady which the star considers one of her low points - but why quibble? This package is the bomb if you're a Streisand fan or just a fan of musical variety television at its finest. It doesn't get any better than this!
