Duets

Description

17 enchanting duets from across her career plus two new
ones (with Barry Manilow and Josh Groban)! Includes Cryin’ Time with Ray
Charles; I’ve Got a Crush on You with Frank Sinatra; Lost Inside of You with
Kris Kristofferson; Guilty with Barry Gibb, Get Happy/Happy Days Are Here
Again with Judy Garland, plus Neil Diamond, Bryan Adams, Celine Dion and more!
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
