Happy birthday gorgeous! Barbra Streisand is 72 today!


It's hard not to be awed by Barbra Joan Streisand's talent, drive and achievements. I've been a fan as far back as I can remember.

In her first 72 years on the planet, Barbra has won two Academy Awards, eight Grammy Awards, five Emmy Awards including one Daytime Emmy, a Special Tony Award, an American Film Institute award, a Kennedy Center Honors award, a Peabody Award, and is one of the few entertainers who have won an Oscar, Emmy, Grammy, and Tony Award.

She is one of the best selling female artists of all time, with more than 145 million records sold worldwide. She is the best-selling female artist on the Recording Industry Association of America's (RIAA) Top Selling Album Artists list, the only female recording artist in the top ten, and the only artist outside of the rock and roll genre.

I wanted to post something to enjoy of hers, so below is Babs' entire "One Voice" concert - a benefit concert at her Malibu, California home on September 6, 1986.

What a great star.  What a great talent.  Happy birthday Barbra Joan!
