A Streisand video encore: "You'll Never Walk Alone"
My post yesterday marking Barbra Streisand's 66th birthday included some videos of her performances but not this one which is one of her most dramatic and memorable. At the end of the 2001 Emmy telecast - which had been postponed twice because of 9/11 - host Ellen DeGeneres introduced a surprise guest but never mentioned her name. Suddenly, she was just there. And her version of "You'll Never Walk Alone" was most powerful and meaningful.
I'll never forget it and neither will you.
Greg Hernandez has covered the entertainment industry for the Daily
News since 2001. He's considered a bit odd by some for his obsession
with box office numbers, has been known to camp out near the kitchen
at premieres for first crack at the hors d'oeurves, and Greg's never
seen a red carpet he didn't want to stroll down.
