Happy Birthday, Barbra Streisand!

The formidable singer-actress-director-activist-collector turns 75 today. She joins a group that includes Paul McCartney, Carole King, and Aretha Franklin among others.

Who could have guessed in 1942 that so many music legends would be born? And born at such a difficult time, the beginning of World War II for America?

Streisand has boatloads of awards and the devotion of a zillion fans around the world. She’s just about to embark on another tour, this time bringing her back to Brooklyn and then to Long Island for the time ever.
