Memory - Barbra Streisand

電影插曲，由男歌手尼爾·戴蒙德創作，他與女歌手芭芭拉·史翠珊演唱。 芭芭拉清亮热情的嗓音和尼尔郁黯深沉的嗓音形成了鲜明的对比。 芭芭拉清亮熱情的嗓音和尼爾鬱黯深沉的嗓音形成了鮮明的對比。 讓一位流行歌星去演唱古典藝術歌曲，恐怕是很難辦到的事，然而芭芭拉·史翠珊卻能實現這奇蹟。 這位1942年出生的猶太女歌星有著得天獨厚的優美歌喉，自幼就顯示了喜劇表演才能和優異的樂感。 1960年她參加了紐約格林威治村的一次夜總會歌唱比賽奪得了冠軍，次年首次在電視節目中露面，從此開始了她的演唱生涯。 她善唱、舞、善演，具有多方面的才能，很快就引起人們的注意． 1963年，她錄製了第一張專輯唱片，緊接著又推出兩張更暢銷的唱片，顯示了她掌握各種風格的技藝和驚人的聲樂技巧，幾十年來她一直稱於歐美流行樂壇，史翠珊特別擅長演唱那些激情洋溢的抒情歌曲，她的歌曲中蘊涵著火一般的熱情和詩一樣的溫馨。 60年代中期，她曾三次獲格蘭美最佳流行女歌手獎，1987年又一次獲得該獎。 1967年在紐約中央公園的音樂會吸引了13萬5千觀眾。史翠珊在電影方面也有驚人的成績。 1968年因主演《俏皮姑娘》而獲得奧斯卡最佳女主角獎。 1969年又在《哈羅，多莉！ 》中担任女主角，以善唱善演的魅力征服了觀眾。 1976年，她主演的影片《明星的誕生》中，有一首她自己作曲並親自演唱的歌曲《愛情萬年青(ever ;green)》，奪得奧斯卡最佳電影歌曲獎。 在影壇的輝煌勝利，激勵了她的決心，她開始創辦並經營了自己的製片公司，多次出任導演。1983年她自編、自製片、自導、自演、自唱的影片《燕特爾》上映，開創了她事業的新高度。 Barbra Streisand
