I wonder who produced/arranged this? She recorded it in 1982 in London during filming of "Yentl."

I'd REALLY like to know what this woman has done in her life to make people hate her so damned much. She's super talented, perhaps. She speaks her mind concerning the future of America, maybe. If you don't like her, why come post notes about her? Someone who hates her, please respond and let me know since you frequent Streisand sites enough.

Such a good musical ear the woman has, and yet she's completely incapable, it would seem, of hearing just how cloying and whiny that hypervibrato, which she insists upon adding to her delivery in every song, can get.

I hate people who are racist as in the last comment. She is by far a SuperStar! Barbra your fabulous, like Butta!

Lyrics:
O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! america!
God shed his grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
O beautiful for heroes proved,
In liberating strife,
Who more than self, their country loved
And MERCY more than life
America! america!
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!
If you'd like to join me, please do!
O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! america!
God shed his grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
To shining sea!
