 | a JL production Barbra Streisand Even though she can't read or write music, Barbra hears melodies as completed compositions in her head. She hears a melody and takes it in, learning it quickly. Barbra developed her ability to sustain long notes because she wanted to. She can mold a tune that others cannot; she's able to sing between song and speech, keeping in tune, carrying rhythm and meaning. |
The most favorite lady of song in my life, from Brooklyn, New York, only six months younger too! JL
