The lives of Judy Garland and Barbra Streisand became inexorably entwined when Ms. Streisand and Ms. Garland sang two American standards in counterpoint — “Happy Days Are Here Again” and “Get Happy”— they were a matched set.

Back by popular demand! The Music of Judy Garland and Barbra Streisand celebrates the music of these two astronomical stars, each interpreters of song with glorious voices that nonetheless hinted at the complicated personal stories beneath.
