My Name Is Barbra Playlist

20 tracks
balanced
Nov 11, 2026

This playlist follows the memoir’s movement from Brooklyn beginnings to a life shaped by Broadway, Hollywood, recording studios, and a fiercely individual artistic vision. New York jazz and theatre songs evoke the world Streisand entered, while reflective instrumentals and songs from her own repertoire make room for the private memories behind the public voice.
