Product Description

From Amazon.com

Even in the face of epochal success, it's tempting to ponder what Barbra Streisand might have accomplished had she not spread herself across so many diverse entertainment media; so much ambition, so little time. This collection of 19 Streisand duets chronicles collaborations with Frank Sinatra and Judy Garland at one end of the scale and Don Johnson at the other. It finds the singer dabbling--if, as her bluesy miscue with Ray Charles on "Crying Time" argues, not necessarily triumphing--in styles she largely eschewed elsewhere in her career. Still, her unlikely collaborations with Barry Gibb ("Guilty," "What Kind of Fool") and Donna Summer ("No More Tears (Enough Is Enough") during the disco era scored her some of the biggest successes of her career, ample proof that with the right chemistry, Streisand could be as powerful a pop music chameleon as she was a diva. New recordings with veteran Barry Manilow (the warm, low-key "I Won't Be the One to Let You Go") and Josh Groban (David Foster's overwrought "All I Know of Love") supplement recordings that stretch from the '60s kitsch-a-go-go of Harold Arlen's "Ding-Dong! The Witch Is Dead" across five decades of Streisand's unparalleled career. --Jerry McCulley

No Other Compares............ July 17 2004
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
Wonderful artists recorded with Barbra and what wonderful performances... Any listener familiar with Barbra, knows that every track she records is perfected to beyond perfection. Those of us lucky enough to have lived through these years of Barbra's duets remember how exciting it was when they hit the charts..
I would highly recommend this fabulous collection.. In truth..any recording Barbra has released would be highly recommend.. She is simply the worlds greatest artist..

A New Track with Barry Manilow Mar 27 2004
Format:Audio CD
Well, thankfully Streisand finally got off her high horse and recorded a duet with Barry. Does anyone else out there think it was because Barry's "Ultimate Manilow" CD went platinum while Bab's "Essential" CD kinda just stood there? Then, after the catastrophic failure of "Essential", her record company releases another (basically) hits CD - this one! I guess the folks at Columbia (or wherever she's recording nowadays) think we need a fifth or sixth copy of the same old songs.

You know, I really love Barb's voice, and there are some really pretty songs on this CD, and I understand it isn't Streisand saying "Hey, I know - release another Greatest Hits CD. Everybody's doing it!"..., but apart from the Manilow duet, you really don't need this CD. Wait for it to go into the $9.99 bin at WalMart.

I only say this because I simply cannot recommend to fans out there to keep spending good money on the same old recordings over and over again. No one needs five CD's of the same song, digitally remastered or not. It's still the same song! And if the excuse is, "We're putting it out there for new, younger fans..." you can just come out from under the smoke cloud. No sixteen year old is rushing to the stores to get the latest Streisand release. Her faithful fans are buying less and less as well. I used to buy everything she put out, but I stopped after "Back to Broadway". It's like she just doesn't care anymore, and her music has really suffered for it.

Duets (2002) May 4 2004
Format:Audio CD
Barbra Streisand has been one of the most extrodinary female solo artists for many, many years. Her voice has moved us in so many ways. Little did we know that during her years as a singer that she would perform incredible duets with so many other artists. This CD contains every duet that Barbra has ever recorded.

I WON'T BE THE ONE TO LET GO (w/ BARRY MANILOW) NEW SONG
I was shocked to learn of this song. I cannot believe that both of my mother's favorite performers have recorded a duet together. This is a beautiful song and it talks about how two lovers will never leave each other.

GUILTY (w/ BARRY GIBB) (from the album GUILTY)
I never liked this one. There's just something about it.

YOU DON'T BRING ME FLOWERS (w/ NEIL DIAMOND) (from the album BARBRA STREISAND'S GREATEST HITS VOL. 2)
An okay song.

I FINALLY FOUND SOMEONE (w/ BRYAN ADAMS) (from the original motion picture soundtrack THE MIRROR HAS TWO FACES)
Beautiful song. It's obvious that the song is about how two people found the perfect lovers... each other.

CRYIN' TIME (w/ RAY CHARLES) (from the boxset JUST FOR THE RECORD)
Not a good song. Ray Charles' voice is horrible.

I'VE GOT A CRUSH ON YOU (w/ FRANK SINATRA) (from Frank's album DUETS)
Okay song. Although Frank's voice is not bad, I cannot call myself a fan.

TELL HIM (w/ CELINE DION) (from the album HIGHER GROUND) (from Celine's album LET'S TALK ABOUT LOVE)
Celine's voice in one corner, Barbra's voice in the other corner. These two have made the right choice in recording a song together because their voices are absolutely out of this world, especially when they sing together.

NO MORE TEARS (ENOUGH IS ENOUGH) (SINGLE VERION) (w/ DONNA SUMMER) (original version from the album WET)
Barbra's music is considered easy listening. Donna's music is considered disco. Who would have known that an EASY LISTENING artist would team up with the best DISCO artist? The original version is actually 8 minutes and 19 seconds long and it can be found on Barbra's album WET. The longer version is actually 11 minutes and 43 seconds and can be found on both Donna's albums ON THE RADIO: GREATEST HITS VOLUMES 1 & 2 and THE DANCE COLLECTION. This has to be the best DIVA duet ever, in front of LADY MARMALADE, by CHRISTINA, LIL' KIM, MYA, & PINK.

WHAT KIND OF FOOL (w/ BARRY GIBB) (from the album GUILTY)
Better than Guilty.

I HAVE A LOVE/ONE HAND, ONE HEART medley (w/ JOHNNY MATHIS) (from the album BACK TO BROADWAY)
Okay song, but Johnny Mathis is not a great singer.

ONE LESS BELL TO ANSWER/A HOUSE IS NOT A HOME medley (w/ BARBRA STREISAND) (from the album BARBRA JOAN STREISAND)
Absolutley amazing and to make it a duet with herself is beyond incredible.

LOST INSIDE OF YOU (w/ KRIS KRISTOFFERSON) (from the original motion picture soundtrack A STAR IS BORN)
Pretty song, but Kris needs to stick to what he's good at: ACTING!

TILL I LOVED YOU (w/ DON JOHNSON) (from the album TILL I LOVED YOU)
Great song, but Don, stick to what you're good at.

MAKE NO MISTAKE, HE'S MINE (w/ KIM CARNES) (from the album EMOTION)
Not a bad song.

IF YOU EVER LEAVE ME (w/ VINCE GILL) (from the album A LOVE LIKE OURS)
Not bad.

THE MUSIC OF THE NIGHT (w/ MICHAEL CRAWFORD) (from the album BACK TO BROADWAY)
Not bad.

DING-DONG! THE WITCH IS DEAD (w/ HAROLD ARLEN) (from Harold's album HAROLD SINGS ARLEN w/ Friend)
Silly!

GET HAPPY/HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN (w/ JUDY GARLAND) (from the boxset JUST FOR THE RECORD)
Judy's voice is absolutely amazing.

ALL I KNOW OF LOVE (w/ JOSH GROBAN) NEW SONG
Beautiful song. Should have been released as a single.

Barbra has performed so many great duets that they had to be re-released on this incredible album. Buy and prepare to be amazed.
