Barbra Streisand and 1962?  Barry, you oughta know better.  Make that
Fanny Brice in the 1920's -- or, if you insist on Barbra, at least
attribute it to "Funny Girl", the film biography of Fanny Brice.
("There's lies, damned lies, and statistics -- and then there's film
biographies." . . .  Sayings of Anti-Chairman

Now that you've stirred those memories, I think I'll go listen to the
Fanny Brice original in its Lp reissue.  There are days when I'm glad I
still have a record player and a huge collection of Lps.
