Query: Long-time Streisand fan....

I have been a fan of Barbra Streisand's since 1967 when I saw "Funny Girl" on the big screen. I began collecting her records/cd's from that moment on and Simply Streisand is one of my favorites. In my opinion she has had many albums of great success. In thinking about it, I would say that "Simply Streisand" is the stand-out album of the 60's, "The Way We Were", would be my choice for the 70's, "The Broadway Album" from the 80's and Higher Ground from the 90's. "The Nearness of You" cut from "Simply Streisand" is probably my favorite on that album and possibly my favorite bar none... Anyone wanting to explore the artist in a less tradional way, take a listen to "Lazy Afternoon" or "Till I Loved You" certainly not her most successful albums but revealing and interesting.
