Barbra Streisand: "The Barbra Streisand Album"

Calm down.

I believe I confessed

in a previous post

that I am an unabashed fan

of Barbra's musical talents.

If you harbor doubts

about this star's achievements

spend a few minutes gaping at this article.

This LP was Barbra's first studio release, 1963.

It was truly very clear to see

from this first outing

that she had a big future in store.
