A Star Is Born

Streisand and Kristofferson will touch your heart and soul in "A Star is Born". I have watched this movie and listened to the music so often that I know it word for word. Any loyal Barbra fan will have this in their collection and cherish it!! By far this is Barbras best movie.

I have had the original LP of this soundtrack since I saw the movie when it first came out. It had been many years since I heard this wonderful, original music and I am happy to report it has stood the test of time. Streisand was doing some great "stuff" during these years and this soundtrack is proof of that. For any of you who may have liked Kristofferson back then (like me), you will even enjoy his "boozy" warblings! ENJOY!

I saw the movie twice, then bought the LP. Loved them both!

Got a notice that it would be shipped in ten days - walked to mail box and it was there - SURPRISE

It was ordered as a gift, but needed to be returned. Instead of wanting the CD, what we needed to order was the DVD which we did
pre-order

Or, as TIME Magazine so succinctly put it back in 1976, "Kate Smith conquers Woodstock." Awful songs from an equally bad flick. Kristofferson is at least unintelligible, so at least you're spared listening to the actual lyrics in HIS songs.

Hollywood loved this story so much they remade it every 20 years or so for much of the 20th century; Barbra Streisand imbued it with so much forceful persona in 1976 that they haven't touched it since. The romantic/musical pairing of Streisand and Kris Kristofferson (chosen when no less than Elvis Presley turned the role down) may have been one of the era's strangest but, anchored by Streisand's elegant, Oscar-winning hit theme "Evergreen," it nonetheless yielded the biggest-selling album of the singer's career to date. That neither star is particularly convincing as rock icons--particularly Her Divaness--seems beyond the point of this fable. Instead, both stars take the opportunity to stretch outside their usual personas a bit, Streisand with the R&B teaser "Queen Bee" and confessional "Woman of the Moon," Kristofferson on rousing, theatrical fare like "Watch Closely Now" and "Hellacious Acres." --Jerry McCulley
