Editor's note

Barbra Streisand's voice defined Broadway and film

From Funny Girl to The Way We Were, her singing shaped American pop and theater.

For a sense of her range, listen to The Way We Were and then something like Some Enchanted Evening. They're different sides of the same voice.

Streisand's voice carried shows and soundtracks for decades. She won an Academy Award for Best Original Song from A Star Is Born in 1976. Songs like Papa, Can You Hear Me? show how she could turn a film moment into something people remember.

She started singing in Brooklyn clubs before her Broadway debut in Funny Girl in 1964. Her early albums established her presence, and she kept recording through projects like The Broadway Album in 2006. The connection to theater and film soundtracks stayed consistent across her output.
