Barbra, Live!

The Grammys/1992

   

Barbra, for the First Time!

The first time I ever saw Barbra was at the 1992 Grammys in New York.
Though she didn't actually perform, she did utter a few notes.
That was more than enough for me.

   

   

A Grammy Legend

February 26, 1992
The thrill of a lifetime occurred for me on February 26, 1992.  The occasion was the 34th Annual Grammy Awards Show from Radio City Music Hall.  I scored a last minute ticket, took my tux out of mothballs and headed down to Rockefeller Center for the broadcast.  I was going to see Barbra Streisand - IN PERSON - for the very first time!

Barbra was receiving the evening's Grammy Legend Award.  Stephen Sondheim was on hand to make the presentation to Barbra for her very special Grammy.

The big anticipation of the night was whether Barbra would or would not sing before a worldwide audience on a live broadcast.  Barbra, following her gracious acceptance speech did indeed sing.  Although they were only a few notes of "You'll Never Know," sung a capella, they were enough for me.  After a lifetime of being an ardent admirer, I finally got to see Barbra.  And she sang!  It was a dream come true.
