Barbra Streisand to make the most of Bergman’s material
ArtsBeat reports: Barbra Streisand has had a long association with Marilyn and Alan Bergman, the songwriters and lyricists who wrote or co-wrote some of her biggest hits, like “The Way We Were,” “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers” and the songs from her 1983 movie Yentl.
For her next album, What Matters Most, Ms. Streisand will be singing 10 songs by the Bergmans that she has not already recorded, like “Nice ‘n’ Easy” (sung by Frank Sinatra in 1960) and “The Windmills of Your Mind,” from the film The Thomas Crown Affair, which Ms. Streisand sang at a charity dinner before the Grammy Awards in February.
The new album, which Ms. Streisand produced, will be released by Columbia Records on Aug. 23, Ms. Streisand announced yesterday. A deluxe edition of the album includes 10 additional Bergman songs from previous Streisand releases, like “The Way We Were,” “Papa, Can You Hear Me?” and “Pieces of Dreams.”
