Barbra Streisand - What Matters Most: Barbra Streisand Sings the Lyrics of Alan and Marilyn Bergman CD

June 27, 2011 (Los Angeles) - The incomparable Barbra Streisand's long-cherished desire to release an album of music with lyrics exclusively written by her collaborators and friends, Alan and Marilyn Bergman, will be achieved with her latest release What Matters Most- Barbra Streisand Sings the Lyrics of Alan and Marilyn Bergman for Columbia Records.  The ten song album, and deluxe edition, will be available August 22, 2011.  

"What Matters Most" is Ms. Streisand's first new album since the September 2009 release of "Love Is The Answer," which debuted at Number One, making her the only artist to achieve number one albums in five consecutive decades. 

The new album, which Streisand personally produced, is comprised of ten Bergman songs which Streisand has never previously recorded.  Included in the set are the Academy Award winning songs "The Windmills of Your Mind" (from the 1968 film The Thomas Crown Affair);  "So Many Stars" (originally a hit song for Sergio Mendes &  Brazil '66); "Nice 'n' Easy" (popularized by Frank Sinatra); and "That Face" (first recorded by Fred Astaire) .  The CD will be packaged in a jewel box with a 24-page color booklet.
