MUSEUM OF TELEVISION & RADIO SCREENING SERIES, THE: BARBRA STREISAND: THE TELEVISION PERFORMANCES, PACKAGE 5: BARBRA STREISAND: A HAPPENING IN CENTRAL PARK
Summary
"Barbra Streisand: A Happening in Central Park"
An estimated 135,000 people jammed Central ParkÕs
Sheep Meadow for this free solo concert. Six television
cameras and a film camera mounted on a helicopter
recorded the concert and the audience from every
conceivable angle. Streisand progresses through a wide
range of emotions and moods in her songs, which include
"The Nearness of You," "Second-Hand Rose," her
trademark subdued version of "Happy Days Are Here
Again," and -- despite the fact that it was summertime
-- "Silent Night," which stopped the show.
(September 15, 1968; CBS, 60 min.)
"The Dinah Shore Show"
President John F. Kennedy was so impressed with
StreisandÕs performance of "Cry Me a River" and "Happy
Days Are Here Again" on this show that she was invited
to sing at the White House.
(May 12, 1963; NBC, 10 min.)
