Barbra & Frank

It is unlikely that these two powerhouse voices of the century would have ever shared the same stage…until now. They never worked together, exactly, except when they taped a duet in separate recording sessions, but it’s tantalizing to think what it would have been like to have Barbra Streisand and Frank Sinatra teamed up for a concert tour. Near the end of the show, the tuxedoed Sinatra turns to Streisand, who is attired in a stunning black and white gown, and says dismissively, “Why don’t you go backstage, take a little rest, and I’ll close the show.” A moment of silence is followed by Streisand saying, in the trade mark Brooklyn accent, “Excuse me?” “Don’t miss it, the best concert that never was.”
