Barbra Streisand

USA, 1960–now

American singer and actress (b. 1942), one of the best-selling recording artists of all time. From Broadway (Funny Girl) to decades of chart-topping pop albums, her lush, dramatic mezzo-soprano and meticulous phrasing made her the definitive traditional-pop diva of the late 20th century.
