Introduction by David Kapralik (Columbia Records) / My Name is Barbara (Live at the Bon Soir, Greenwich Village, NYC - Nov. 5, 1962)

[DAVID KAPRALIK, spoken]

Ladies and gentlemen?

Thanks

Sorry

On behalf of Columbia Records, I should like to welcome you here to the live recording session of Barbra Streisand

[BARBRA STREISAND, spoken]

Streisand

[DAVID KAPRALIK, spoken]

Streisand

There's an awful lot that can be said about Barbra but I think that it's superfluous because you're going to be hearing her for yourself

For me and for everyone at Columbia she's a singular artist, you can't put her in any category

She's come full blown on the theatrical scene and wе're honored tonight to be prеsent at her first recording session for her Columbia album

May I introduce, very proudly, Miss Barbra Streisand

[BARBRA STREISAND]

My mother said that babies come in bottles

But last week she said

They grew on special baby bushes

I don't believe in the storks either

They're all in the zoo

Busy with their own babies

And what's a baby bush anyway?

My name is Barbara
