Streisand receives Medal of Freedom

In her honor I’ll put a video up.

This is from Barbra’s Live Concert at the Forum recorded at the LA Forum in April, 1972. It was a fundraiser for Senator George McGovern; according to Wikipedia after expenses the campaign got $18K.

“Make Your Own Kind of Music” is a regular earworm of mine. I don’t know why. I played this album a lot back in 1972 when I bought it, but while I own nearly a dozen of Streisand’s albums I don’t binge on them. It’s a Barry Mann/Cynthia Weil composition, written in 1968. Mama Cass recorded it for her second solo album.
