Story told in "One Night Only" about a song she sung while facing the wall - What was it?
Barbra Streisand told a story about singing for a couple that she had dinner with. She was in acting school in New York and she said she was too embarrassed to sing in front of someone so she faced the wall and sang. When she turned around the couple had tears in their eyes. Wonder what that song was? Anyone know?

It was "A Sleepin' Bee"
Yes, I believe I read that she sang "A Sleepin' Bee" from the Broadway musical "House of Flowers" by Harold Arlen (music/lyrics) and Truman Capote (lyrics/book/based on his short story).
Don't you just love the song "House of Flowers?," the title song from that show? Beautiful! It's on the "Just for the Record" collection. I understand why her favorite composer is Haold Arlen.
Love,
