CAFFE` LATTE` 
TOP 1200 CHOICE TRACKS


#588 NON C'EST RIEN Barbra Streisand
The 1966 album 'Color Me Barbra' featured songs from her TV special of the same name. Streisand was hot property at the time, a singing sensation that was attracting audiences to her television "events". This 1 was significant as its title reflected the arrival of color TV. Her delivery is top-notch on "Non C'est Rien",  which finds La Streisand singing in French: a brave move for any Anglophone. The song was written by Michael Jourdan, Armand Canfora and Joseph Basile. 

This is a list made up of the songs I enjoy the most, ranked in order of preference: the higher we go, the more I cherish them. Some were released as singles, others as album tracks. Some are obscure; others were worldwide hits or have universal appeal. They aren't always the most famous or popular, but simply a personal choice. I have excluded songs from the last few years in order to get a better idea of a song's lasting impression. I hope you find some new tracks to love, or re-discover some past favourites.
To mark the occasion of reaching the halfway mark for this special countdown, a new song will be added on the hour all day today (in place of this week's Mid Week Bonus).
