About this album

Barbra Joan Streisand is a strong early-70s pop album that finds Barbra Streisand balancing interpretive elegance with contemporary songwriting. Issued in 1971, it pairs her commanding vocal range with material by writers including Laura Nyro, Randy Newman, Carole King, James Taylor and Bacharach and David, giving the set both polish and modern relevance. The album includes her hit reading of One Less Bell to Answer / A House Is Not a Home and the much-loved The Summer Knows, reinforcing her gift for turning carefully chosen songs into definitive performances. It is a key example of Streisand’s late-60s and early-70s reinvention as a sophisticated album artist.
