Barbara Joan Streisand, conocida artísticamente como Barbra Streisand, nació el 24 de abril de 1942 en Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Nueva York. Desde temprana edad, Streisand mostró un talento excepcional para el canto y la actuación, marcando el comienzo de una carrera que la llevaría a convertirse en una de las figuras más prominentes y reconocidas de la industria del entretenimiento.
Streisand creció en un hogar humilde. Su padre, Emanuel Streisand, falleció cuando ella tenía solo 15 meses, dejando a su madre, Diana, criar a Barbra y su hermano mayor, Sheldon, en condiciones bastante precarias. A pesar de las dificultades económicas, Barbra se destacó en la escuela y mostró un interés temprano por las artes.
A finales de la década de 1950, en su adolescencia, Barbra decidió seguir una carrera en el mundo del espectáculo. Después de graduarse de la Erasmus Hall High School en 1959, se mudó a Manhattan para buscar oportunidades en el teatro y la música. Su determinación la llevó a presentarse en varios clubes nocturnos neoyorquinos, donde rápidamente ganó la atención por su poderosa voz y talento interpretativo.
En 1960, participó en la obra "Another Evening with Harry Stoones", la cual resultó ser un fracaso, pero esto no la detuvo. Su carrera comenzó a despuntar cuando fue contratada para actuar en el famoso club de Greenwich Village, el Bon Soir. En 1962, Barbra debutó en Broadway con la obra musical "I Can Get It for

Where did we go wrong
Is it really over
Where does my heart belong
If it's not with you
We held on to our pride
When we left each other
But what good is pride tonight
When we're all alone
Why did we give up on us so fast
Isn't love supposed to last forever
Oh, what were we thinking of

Reaching for more than love
What were we thinking of
Too late we both discovered
We're lost without each other
What were we thinking of
Tonight I stay awake
Wanting just to call you
Knowing my heart would break
If you were not home
So, I never call
And you will never answer
You know the saddest part of all
Is I know you're there
Why do we run from
The arms of love
When we really need each other
More than ever...
Oh, what were we thinking of
Looking for something better
Reaching for more than love
What were we thinking of
Too late we both discovered
We're lost without each other
What were we thinking of
Oh, both of us thought
We'd find true love with another
Why were we so blind
It was right here all the time
What were we thinking of
Looking for something better
Reaching for more then love
What were we thinking of
Too late we both discovered
We're lost without each other
What were we thinking of
What were we thinking of
Looking for something better
Reaching for more than love
What were we thinking of
Too late we both discovered
We’re lost without each other
What were we thinking of
What were we thinking of
Yeah! What were we thinking of
