THE TOP 100

#100 MY MAN

BARBRA STREISAND

(1967)

Writers: Albert Willemetz, Jacques Charles, Channing Pollock & Maurice Yvain

The film version of ‘Funny Girl’ closes with Barbra Streisand performing “My Man. The powerful and moving delivery begins softly, gradually building to a heartfelt and mighty conclusion. "My Man" had been a hit for Fanny Brice in the 1920s. The New York-born legend of vaudeville died of a stroke in 1951, aged 60. 

 Streisand, in her Academy Award winning role as Brice, is more than worthy of the Oscar. She first released her version of the torch song as a single in 1965, from the Broadway cast album. The rendition included here is from the motion picture soundtrack, issued in 1968.   

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.

A new song from the remaining Top 100 is added each weekday, while another 2 are also included from positions 1501-2000 daily. Check back here every 12 hours for an update of the 2000.
