About this album

Funny Girl is a star-making soundtrack that cemented Barbra Streisand’s status as a major vocal presence beyond Broadway. Written by Jule Styne with lyrics by Bob Merrill, the 1968 original cast-to-screen recording preserves the score’s blend of music-hall sparkle, romantic balladry and comic bite, with Omar Sharif featured alongside Streisand in the film version. Anchored by signature numbers such as People and Don’t Rain on My Parade, the album helped carry the stage musical’s success into the mainstream and became one of the era’s most recognisable musical theatre soundtracks. Its mixture of polished orchestration and personality-driven performance makes it a durable show-business classic.
