Imagine a singer returning to the stage after twenty years away. Barbra Streisand did this at her own home in 1986 where she performed her famous song “Guilty” with Barry Gibb. It was a magical moment for the lucky audience and her strong voice sounded amazing under the stars. This special night was a concert to help a political cause.
Barbra Streisand had not done a major concert since 1967 because of serious stage fright. The One Voice show was her brave comeback and it happened in her backyard in Malibu. Only five hundred people bought tickets to see it. Singing with Barry Gibb was a fun reunion as they had made a very successful album together years earlier. The whole evening raised a lot of money for charities she supported and it was a huge success.
