Funny Lady 1975

Funny Lady 1975
When Columbia Records president Clive Davis, who'd been instrumental in getting Barbra to update her recording image in 1969, left the label to start Arista Records, he was given a gift -- the soundtrack to Barbra's newest film, Funny Lady. In fact, Funny Lady was the very first Arista LP. The soundtrack includes the music from the film, but has alternate versions and doesn't follow the order of the movie. "So Long Honey Lamb," which was just partially seen in the final cut of the film, doesn't make much sense on the album -- a joke that might have worked if we'd seen it on the screen. The high points are Barbra's big numbers, "Let's Hear It For Me" and "Great Day," in particular. Undiscovered gem: "If I Love Again" which is a simple, classic Barbra ballad.
