Best Barbra Streisand Song
Barbra Joan Streisand burst onto the Broadway scene in the 1960s. Since then, through her EGOT-winning films, albums, tours, and TV specials that have stretched into the 2020s, she has had a career that is, in a word, legendary. She has been a trailblazer, a button pusher, a visionary, a sensation, a peerless performer, and all too often, she has been criticized for being an incredible talent with big dreams, and the guts and brains to make them a reality. And her fans cherish her for every bit of that. So say Hello, Dolly, as the Great Pop Culture Debate seeks to discover the Best Barbra Streisand Song of all time. We consider hits like “Tell Him,” “Evergreen,” “The Way We Were,” “Don’t Rain on My Parade,” “Guilty,” “No More Tears (Enough is Enough),” “The Main Event,” “Papa Can You Hear Me?” “Gotta Move,” “People,” “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers,” and more.
Host Eric Rezsnyak, panelists Bob Erlenback, Derek Mekita, and special guest Dr. Nick Everage discuss the best songs from the decades-spanning career of the legendary Barbra Streisand.
