Good interview overall. I'm glad the Miles Davis gaffe has been cleared, but there's two more to go.
The [smoky bossa nova] "Gentle Rain" IS NOT from the 1959 classic film "Black Orpheus". Same composer, different scores. Gentle Rain comes from the eponymous 1966 movie.
Over a month ago, I've sent Ms Streisand's Reps a fax to correct this mistake in the Columbia PR. I was crushed not to receive a thank you note, but, well... I'd do anything for Barbra. I am surprised the mistake is being reproduced here.
To be completely thorough, this song was NOT her opening song in any of her tour performances (Starting Here, Starting Now was). Barbra sang Gentle Rain during rehearsal in Philly and Dublin. She might consider it her "throat" opener for she used it as a warm-up. Just making sure no-one will look for it over the internet.
Barbra has deservely been a truth seeker and has resented the Press for distorting the truth. I am sure Barbra has never perpetuated these half truths. The journalist should have been proofread.
