Title

The Skyscraper: Contrived Kookiness, Barbara Streisand 'Wows' Chicago

Description

An article by Mundelein student Barbara Mounsey reviews 21-year-old quasi-beat from Brooklyn" Barbra Streisand's recent show at McCormick Place on Nov. 29. While the author felt "indifferent" about Streisand's "between-song patter", "Our indifference, however, was swept away when the girl opened her mouth and sang." The author includes a variety of songs Streisand sang, describes her "white satin middy-blouse and long maroon skirt," and ultimately declares that "she is assuredly a balladeer who will be around for a while."
