Barbra: The Way She Is

Great Book, Funny, Entertaining, Barbra is such a character
I loved the book. The author has done extensive research, and I actually read the whole book which i think some reviewers here did not. I loved some parts like Barbra saying "Do you think I'm Bugs Bunny?" when she was asked to play in the movie "What's Up Doc?" Barbra comes out of it as a very colorful, intelligent and savvy person. That is my opinion, this is a great book on Barbra, if only all ...

the title says it all
I guess the problem with books about celebrities is that they always have a bias. I mean, writing a book is an enormous undertaking, so for someone to write a book about Barbra they realistically have to love her a lot or hate her a lot. Mr. Cunningham, it seems, neither loves Barbra nor hates her, he writes objectively not for himself, but for the rest of the world who very definitely has an ...

Cherry Lane Music, 2004

Sing along with Babs
As a fan of Barbra, and a voice student, this songbook is great fun. The music doesn't always match her recordings exactly, but it is mostly accurate. Of course, it's possible Babs recorded the same song a little differently on different albums. I didn't take the time to compare all versions of all songs. It provides guitar and piano accompaniment, and gives a great opportunity to stretch ...

Edwards' Failure
In order to be fair I read this book twice. I adore Babs--I live my life to be like hers; I want my resonance to sympathize with her resonance. I want people to spend time with me and to think that they have really been in the company of Babs. Or at least AS IF they had been in her company--I want to leave a similar impression. I really really really do. I approached this book in much ...

And You think your family is weird...
You've spent your life thinking your parents, aunts, uncles, cousins all have "bizarre quirks"that you've learned to embrace but surely you've avoided telling anyone else about for fear they might just think that wierdness is genetic and you might be one step away from the looneybin yourself. Then comes the day when you meet someone who loves you no matter how crazy you might be and ...

New take on the best of Barbra
Candid, balanced and extremely well-written, this is the best book for detailed but riveting, you-are-there accounts on the making of the best (and worst) of Striesand's records films up tp Yentl. Previous review by Jon Sieruga makes the casual assumption that the author, Shaun Considine, wasn't close to Streisand, except on the sets of two movies. Completely missing the point ...

wonderful music
Barbra gathered some important spiritual tunes and that what she got : a highly spiritual work, I play EZ keyboard but I sing a little, so I have enjoyed singing those tunes, I don't do it like her but who is measuring when you do from your heart? and this book was produced heart to heart...metzuyan!!!
