Barbra Streisand Will Release 'Live at the Bon Soir' This November

The album is made up of Barbra's earliest, unreleased recordings from 1962.

A new album from Barbra Streisand is on the way! On November 4, Columbia Records and Legacy Recordings will release Live At The Bon Soir.

Unreleased for six decades, Live At The Bon Soir presents Barbra's earliest live recordings. These performances led to Columbia Records signing the 18 year old and in November 1962 they recorded three nights intending it to be the first release for the artist. The release also coincides with the 60th anniversary of Barbra being on Columbia Records.

"I had never even been in a nightclub until I sang in one," said Streisand. "And that was a fluke since I had no intention of being a singer. I wanted to be an actress, but I couldn't get a job. Then a friend told me about a talent contest at this little Greenwich Village club called the Lion, where the prize was $50, and dinner was free."
